Well, this morning I'm boarding a flight to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a week's vacation.
Puerto Vallarta is one of my favorite places in the world to vacation. The weather is nice and balmy. The food is good. The people are friendly and the city is safe. Part of the safety is because there's a marine base right at the north side of the city. It's not uncommon to see military patrols on the streets.
Also, there are all of the amenities of home. There are shopping malls nearby that offer everything we need just in case we left something behind.
This trip we'll be staying at a resort in Nuevo Vallarta, which is about 10 miles North of the airport.
Someone told me how lucky I was to be able to take a vacation. And while that is true, there's more to it than that. If I hadn't gotten sober 31 years ago, I probably wouldn't even be around to take a vacation. But once I got sober, blessings kept coming into my life.
I've had the same job for 30 years. I'm able to help other addicts change their lives. I have the same home I've lived in for over 20 years. I lease a nice car. I have fairly good health. There's really not much in life that I want or need,
And the only reason I have this existence is that I decided to live a sober life.
