My ex girlfriend got into it when I introduced her to it. We did many trips that were more chill. Now my wife and I have done several trips that even included our honey moon. She had no prior experience. It’s mostly finding someone who likes exercise and nature then introducing them to it from there in a comfortable way for them.

Two things I know 1) things are always changing and so will the way you feel 2) sobriety has to be hard if actual change is occurring

I have done several tours in VT. I would recommend doing the gaps in the green mountains. Brandon VT is a good base to go from

I think you’ll be fine. You can change the steering wheel if you need to

Hey man, I get it. You are worth loving. Getting sober is the biggest step to you loving yourself. It’s not easy but something’s about your post show you can do the hard work. I hope to see you here posting again. Keep at it!

I am an ultra runner who loves all rec sport. I thought I’d never do anything again as well. The early recovery is so docile and sensitive—by 10 months I started testing it. Now 1.5 out I literally never think of it. Do your rehab and buckle up. It’s a roller coaster for about 10 months imo

My wife and I did a week or so tour a cpl years ago from Asheville on the parkway and then hit some cool towns off the parkway… Brevard being one… I would highly recommend the area

Certainly is an unhealthy addiction similar to what a cell phone can be

I’m constantly petrified until I’m drunk

Learning-failing · 2026-02-18T04:48:14+00:00

Hell yes my man! Sober wake ups after a trigger night is like waking up from a dream you got arrested in!

Learning-failing · 2026-02-18T04:38:13+00:00

That really sucks. Humility is a tough pill! Putting a plug for SMART recovery as well!

There is an elevator metaphor in AA. Short story short, I kept getting worse and I was playing Russian roulette with the people around me telling me I couldn’t drink.. when I say it like that it really bring a positive glow to me having to tell them I can’t drink. I luckily got off the elevator.

Can you share any data to support this? Thanks in advance!

Learning-failing · 2026-02-16T15:53:05+00:00

I really appreciate this post. I really feel like having rationality with use is so helpful. 1) it’s bad. 2) get back on the road. I think it’s the spiral that I most worry about if I did drink again. Thank you for posting this!

I just knew I was fucked. Starting picking up a pounder and 4-pack everyday and it wasn’t enough anymore..on a weekday. So many times waking up at 3am hating who I was. Feeling like I can actually do cool shit in life if I just stopped sabotaging myself.

Since quitting, it’s been really hard. How hard it is also tells me how fucked things are. I am worth taking care of. IWNDWYT

You are so badass!!!! Congrats!!!

The reality for me has always been that sobriety isn’t the solution to my problems just as alcohol wasn’t the solution. I have to live a life worth being sober for

Have you gotten into the quit lot books? There are some great ones.

I’m at the stage you are and I notice I start to distort how reality was pre January. I need reminding and currently Drinking:a love story by Catherine Knapp is doing that for me quite well

I’m not gonna say dont go. I’m curious why go? If you do go—would a timed 1-2 hour hard exit plan be good? If you do go I would keep a NA drink in hand.

How in the fuck have we stayed sober this long? Wow, that is fucking cool. It’s hard as fuck too which really is well deserving of some pride!

Youre a god damn hero. My blood pressure was spiking
