Hey no real advice. Just wanted to say I too think it’s a brave and exciting thing to do. I wish you luck with your travels. And I will say that no matter how good or bad I have felt, no matter how much I was struggling moodsise, even when I have regretted doing certain actions or behaviors, not once have I ever regreted traveling to somewhere new.

That doesn’t mean it’s been all rainbows and sunshine, but with enough perspective even the experiences where things just keep going wrong become treasured memories. And being in new scary situations, I always either learn something new, discover strengths I didn’t know I had, or if nothing else I have a kick arss crazy story to tell at parties. No one wants to hear about somebody’s boring trip where everything goes right anyway...

It is probably a good idea to put some supports in place, even if it is just coming on here or face timing family members regularly or something. But at least imo, it is a waste of time and energy to think through all of the what if scenarios that could (but prob won’t) go wrong and just deal with the stuff that actually does go wrong as it is happening. I really applaud your trying to get sober/clean, just make sure you are not putting too many things on your shoulders at the same time to deal with all at once.

And most of all, just have fun, keep an open mind, be flexible, and if or when it blows up in your face try to keep a sense of humor and try again tomorrow. Good luck.
