i'm sorry i haven't been around, but so much is happening. i quit my job, my A bf is getting trought 6 months!!!!!!! sober and we are just sooooo busy. We were away alot, i went home for a couple of days and now we are getting ready for your big trip. Its kind of my birthday present, we are going to Maldives for 2 weeks!!! Everything is ok, just normal stuff happening, good and bad days, up's and down's, nothing strange to report. I'm just little bit nervous about the trip, becouse there is no AA, they are Muslim country and alcohol is prohibited, so is AA. They do sell alcohol in tourist areas, but the country itself is alcohol free, its againts to their religion. So we will be stuck on small island for 2 weeks without any meetings. Any suggestion is welcome.
It's his program. He needs to make it work. He needs to be accountable and responsible for it. He needs to find ways to make it work. But I can tell you for sure I wouldn't go to maldives if I was 6 months sober. I would've waited until I had more time under my belt.
Just remember your program. Leave him to his. I'd take along some Al-anon lit. Slip a couple of books into your bag and just have them handy if you find yourself having a stressful moment. Remember that you can't prevent him from having a slip, you are powerless over that. Try not to project what will or won't happen.
Do your best to live in the moment and enjoy yourself. Take lots of pictures and keep your eyes open to the wonderful things HP brings your way.
