Be sure to let us know how your trip went and how you managed cravings if you experienced any.

Big book is packed, along with 12 and 12 as bill sees it and 24 hrs a day. Have my one year medallion ready also. Likely no phone or internet there but that is okay. I will find "friends of Bill W" I am sure. 
I will not be around here after this post till likely April 13. 
If I was still drunk I would for sure not be going on vacation, likely be dead. Thanks for all the support.

The book says as long as we keep in fit spiritual condition, we get to experience the 10th step promises, hope you pray, meditate, watch for you character defects:

And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone, even alcohol. For by this time sanity will have returned. We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.

I am sure there is AA meetings in Cuba too, expect it may by in spanish, you never know, you can ask around. Always carry the big book.

Tomorrow I am leaving for an all inclusive trip to Cuba tomorrow. First I am grateful because I am going with an amazing woman who when I was drunk would not give me the time of day. Now we are working on a great life today.
Second, this is an all inclusive trip AKA all the booze is free (per say). I believe I am ready, but one can never to too careful. Booze is cunning baffling and powerful this I know. Anyone have some advise to give?
