Always expect the unexpected when travelling – delays are part of the journey. Expensive airport food and drinks can add stress to an already tough situation. Strong urges to drink can resurface even after long periods of sobriety. Learning from others' mistakes can save you from repeating them yourself. Staying sober often means recognising and resisting innocent justifications for drinking.
There’s nothing for you at the end of that rainbow. It might feel good for a couple of weeks, but you’re better off learning from my mistakes.
