Good for you, Rich! Doing what you need to do to take care of yourself and your recovery is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Glad you stayed home and stayed clean!

Thanks guys... It was nice to awake sober and clear headed. The thought of awaking dirty in a hot muddy tent hung-over sounds just awful. lol

Hi Rich,

Good Idea!!!!! 

Just work the program. It is just a trap letting your mind wonder there.

You have made the decision to change you life. There is no need in looking back. Just keep thinking about how much better your life is going to be now that you are trying to rebuild it.

Be thankful that you are no longer destroying your life and future.

Hang tough. We are all here to support you.

Oh I wanted to say that I loved what bbc020 the commit below mine said to you. Sounds like he has been there done that. That is good sound advice he gave you.

I feel your pain friend.  It has been some years since my last excursion into the festival lifestyle.  It use to be the only lifestyle I knew when the summer months came.  I must say I miss the live music, the smells, and the seemingly free-spirited way of the lifetime festival goers, yet today I'm grateful to have some clarity and self-honesty in my life.  That free-spirited lifestyle can be mine today without the need for one more.  Whether I choose to be at a festival, concert, meeting, or anywhere else.  It took a lot of pain and a new way of life for me to see it, but the same joy that came into my life as I toured can be found in countless moments everyday in this new life.  I'm glad you posted it.  Keep workin' it!
