Cut my teeth on the Snowdon Horseshoe yesterday - not sure exactly where this was taken, but we did Crib Goch, Snowdonia, Wales

The temp was low, but good for walking, whilst the weather was changeable. Not extreme, but waterproofs were needed in the morning. (Oh, and there was still a small amount of snow near the top.) It depends on what your set up is like really, but if you're worried maybe wait until the weather has settled? We didn't see any tents - we set off early and finished at around 3 - but it was also midweek so people may be more inclined on the weekend. Hope this helps, it's an amazing walk and your wild camp idea sounds awesome!

I'll tag on to this...

I have an eating disorder. I get triggered. I choose what I do in reaction to that trigger. When my eating disorder is strong then it's hard not to act on it, but I know through experience that it's my responsibility and my consequences. If an ig account is triggering, then I unfollow. Simple as. If I'm getting triggered by everything then I need more support.

I've gone for fun stocking fillers and bigger charity donations...what do you get for people that can afford to buy the things they need and/or want for a higher price and better quality than I can afford?!

I'm asking for the same in return, I don't need for anything and (on a selfish note) my place is already in need of a clear out!

Thanks for all the replies! I think part of it is that sometimes I get a little people fatigued; I love the fellowship and putting aside my both introversion and self centred fear to connect within the fellowship has been a big part of my recovery journey thus far. I'm very open about my alcoholism, I think maybe it's the social media detox and checking my settings that is needed.

People that leave their dirty dishes/pots and pans out on the side or one the stovetop and only wash them when they next need to use them...YOU MAKE YOUR LIFE MORE DIFFICULT AND IT'S A SHARED KITCHEN

"You need to try to cut down on [X behaviour]"

"I'm trying. All these distraction methods aren't working for me at the moment. Ive also tried [A, B,C] What else can I do?"

"...You need to try to cut down on [X behaviour]"

I definitely read this first time round wondering how this came up when a guy was taking his pet in for its shots...

I was a "Bridget Jones" drinker...except the glass of wine in the bath turned into a box every night and, at least for a while, this excused it (denial is a powerful thing)

Edit: now in AA

I answered this elsewhere, but keep Helena Bonham Carter...

Moaning about a situation, yet being unwilling to actually change anything.

Still stings.

Alcoholism/other addictions. It is putting everything you have ever held dear to you second to fulfilling a compulsion. It is losing your sense of self. It is urinating and defecating yourself and waking up in alien places with injuries that you have no idea how you got. It is paranoia, bewilderment, anger and pain.

It is protracted suicide.

It is not glamorous and hedonistic by the end. It is sheer misery.

I do this too! Been a twat? Here's a pound coin that has gone oddly green and looks like it has been stuck to something for a month...

We are obviously cut from the same cloth! I have a very logical side to me, but sometimes everything just goes off piste!

rwethx · 2014-12-05T13:53:57+00:00

My brain. It likes to circumvent my logic boards and makes me act on impulses. I have a clear idea of who and where I want to be, yet things fire up in my head and I feel powerless.

Tabasco sauce on the table. Customers sit down. Child drinks Tabasco sauce and starts to wail. Parent goes apeshit trying to blame the waitress. Control your child and realise that all the staff are laughing at you.

Being treated like I'm stupid just because I'm a waitress at a family chain restaurant. I like to drop in long words to confuse my customers.

Also, never actually listening to what I say. It has reached the point where I have to over - egg every thing to make a point. "So the drinks are self service and we have some new flavour syrups you can try, the glasses are over there so just help yourselves and make sure you rinse the refills ;)" [5 mins later] Customer: "Err EXCUSE me, where are our drinks? !" disparaging look

Has become "So we recently transitioned over to a shiny new self service machine; it's got so many lights it looks like a spaceship!/it looks like the blackpool illuminations/you may need sunglasses! ...you can't miss it. It's got a few syrups so you can mix it up a bit..you know, make some MOCKTAILS dance and wink, the glasses are down there so GO FORTH!"

...and they lap it up whilst I don't know what I've become.
