I have told myself that I will be abstinent from sugar while I am there, and I do think that being there will give me what I need to sustain that. My sponsor will also be there, so we'll get in some one to one time as well.

My roommate is a lesbian, who is partnered...and that's pretty cool too. I'm sure we'll have good things to talk about.

I believe I have internet access there so I'll try to keep up with the Planet!

No amount of 'telling myself' anything has ever helped for me sadly. That's why I need this stuff, other folks who know what it's like and most importantly my HP who, when I'm surrendered, makes me a 'we'.That's how it works for me anyway.

Glad to hear you'll get time with your sponsor too.

I hope you have a wonderful time and find that re-energising and re-submitting to the programme that you're looking for.

May I venture that keeping up with the Planet will just take focus away from the healing time you're there for. Just a thought.

Have a great time
