Should I feel guilty about not going sailing?

6. Anything that keeps you safe - and sober - is more than good enough.

And for some reason, folks on boats tend to drink. I remember at an early AA meeting, a woman was talking about getting together with some friends on a boat, think it may have been some sort of reunion. I was pretty new, but lots of people warned her not to go since she was putting herself in a situation where she couldn't just walk away if she needed to. But she went anyway and it turned out that she relapsed. I saw her after that so she did start all over again, but the guilt and shame she felt was hardly worth it. I always try to err on the side of caution and I remember that it's important to always have an escape route. You're doing the right thing.
