Vacation Abstinence

What happens to a food plan
on a 20-hour flight,
when you visit destinations
are known for foods you shouldn't eat,
or you are a guest of cooks
who set their menu without consultation?
Can you visit a cacao farm
without trying the chocolate produced?
Can you travel without triggering
a relapse? The answer is, "Yes."
Two thousand miles from home
it's still true that nothing tastes as good
as abstinence feels. Enjoy the sights,
the sounds, the people...
Have a meaningful trip finding joy
in serenity. Take your Higher Power
on the trip and surrender as needed.
