I’m in Mexico celebrating my 50th birthday with my wife and coming up on one year sober, and it has me thinking about how differently I travel now. I tell the story of the time I drank my way into missing my flight, getting pulled off the plane, and spending a long night stranded at the airport detoxing. 
• Celebrating a 50th birthday in Mexico while approaching one-year sobriety 
• Remembering past Mexico trips built around heavy drinking 
• Missing a flight after a week-long binge and extending the resort stay 
• Starting to drink again at the airport and thinking it’s under control 
• Getting removed from the plane after staff see the alcohol 
• Hearing the captain’s boundary and dealing with the fallout 
• Feeling the relief of sober travel and gratitude for the people around us 
Tune in next week for more of Pure KAOS.

We can choose to give in to the KAOS, or we can forge a new path forward!
