On vacation in the Florida Keys right now and fighting the urge hardcore not to go downstairs to the tiki bar. Please help me get through this! I’ve been sober since June 6th. I don’t want to give in but I’m THIS close…

No way Juliana! Think this all the way thru. You know what will happen. Yo will be miserable and have to go back to square one. The fact you’re on here talking about it tells me you are serious about your sobriety and you care. We can all relate to being in vacation and wanting tat drink. It might suck right now, but you will be so happy in the morning that you didn’t drink vs that horrible feeling of guilt, shame and remorse if you do. There are zoom meetings you can vent on if needed. There are also some great sober podcasts you can listen to. You just need to feel thru this temporary situation. It will get easier

You mean, you’re this close to going down to the bar? Remember, when you’re grocery shopping?! Well, my friend, you’re that close to a bottle of wine. The Florida Keys?! What’s there not to see sober? Go for a walk on the beach. Watch a sunset! Take a relaxing swim. My, my! So much to do! Just one day at a time thru your vacation. I guarantee you’ll have beautiful memories after you get home...

Don’t do it. Call a friend and talk about your feelings.

Tiki bar sounds fun but you’ll be to disappointed in yourself for breaking your promise to even enjoy it. Worst outcome is you binge and end up with a horrible hangover accompanied by regret. I recommend you go take a walk or bike ride and enjoy the views!
