My Sober Vacation

Just got back in to town and managed to stay SOBER through an entire vacation!  We had a great time.  One of my biggest fears before getting sober was vacations/special events, and now I know I can do it.  On the plane ride there I watched the documentary called Lipstick and Liquor, and also listened to the Bubble Hour episode about the documentary.  I would recommend it.  

I'm not going to lie, I had a few moments of longing for a drink. Especially a fruity cocktail on the beach...but the craving went away quickly.  I also allowed myself to eat anything and everything on this trip, so that helped. The most amazing part was that I slept great and had no hangovers!  Here are a couple of pictures.

  3. And that is a great vacation to have. I never had a sober vacation yet. Working on it! But I am only day # 8 (again.) Happy you enjoyed yourself. It is a living proof that we can relax and have a great vacation without alcohol. As far as cravings/longings: I think they are absolutely normal. We are humans after all. :)
