Does you alcoholism stay at home? continued
Although it is only a vacation, I do not want to forget how I got to the point where I could enjoy a vacation.
What I did for my sobriety in the beginning is no different from today. I may not go to meetings every day but I do go to at least 3 meetings a week and do my morning meditation and nightly review.
My point is, by doing what I do at home, I can joyfully do the same thing anywhere. Meeting new people in new places is a true joy. The way they conduct their meetings may be a little different but if I have an open mind, I can experience a new view on sobriety anywhere.
So, the next time you go on vacation, call ahead to the Intergroup or Central Office, find a meeting and meet people who can become part of your sobriety family.
In AA, there are no strangers, only friends we haven’t met yet.
