Travel scrambles your routine and surrounds you with temptation. You don't have to white-knuckle it alone.
You're not overreacting
We know how tough it is to stay sober on a trip. Every cue that normally keeps you steady — your meeting, your routine, your people — gets left at home, and everything around you seems to whisper just this once. Welcome drinks, airport bars, friends who want to go out, a beach that feels incomplete without a cocktail in your hand.
Wanting to enjoy the trip and wanting to protect your recovery aren't in conflict. Plenty of people travel sober and come home with their streak intact. A few things that actually help:
Decide what you'll order, how you'll answer "why aren't you drinking," and what your exit looks like if a night turns into a trigger. A plan made sober beats a decision made at the bar.
AA exists almost everywhere. Look up a local meeting before you go — even one room full of people who get it can anchor an entire trip.
The catch with travel is the timezone. When it's a hard night for you, it may be 4am back home and your sponsor is asleep. That gap is exactly where people slip.
