You would never think that in recovery you would participate in outdoor adventure therapy in Mexico. I was completely blown away by this opportunity.
I’m pretty blown away that I’ve been able to come to Mexico for two weeks and have a great time without using any alcohol or drugs. It’s an opportunity that Back 2 Basics Sober Living incorporates for their clients within their Outdoor Adventures program as part of recovery and learning to live sober in a normal reality.
I’ve always fantasized about coming here so I could buy drugs and drink and party on the beach but in my using days I never had enough money to get here. I could hardly get anything done when I was using, so getting enough money together to go on vacation in Mexico was certainly out of the question.
Now in sobriety I’ve come to Mexico for the first time in my life, surfed every day and had fun the entire time. I made local friends here through AA and never woke up hung over. This has been such a valuable experience to me because it has shown me how much fun I can have in sobriety and how wonderful my life can be if I stay sober.
