Sober Cruise

Just wanted to reflect on my experience Tuesday. I live in a seaside community and there is a meeting every Tues & Thursday on a boat that goes out to sea. I think they have been doing this for 20 or more years. Think opposite of Booze Cruise. It's full of sober people, they get speakers and hold a meeting and then return. Last year it was announced at every meeting and in all my newness, self consciousness, and insecurity I never went. Didn't think it could possibly be fun. Tuesday I was supposed to get my medallion from the Stepsisters but a few of the gals wanted to go on the first cruise, my sponser included. They left it to me and since to even think about going on the cruise with anticipation was such a huge example of progress to me I chose to go. It was amazing to me as well because if I had picked to stay they would have so they could see me get my medallion. I will receive it next week. It's okay and the cruise was a blast. The boat rocked wicked, the wind was whipping but it was one of the best times in sobriety I have had. Good speakers, good company and a beautiful sunset. What more can I ask for??
