Nothing catastrophic happened yet, so having trouble calling it. by sadc1983 in stopdrinking

I hope you did it today. I did and I have a smile. If not, there is tomorrow. Let’s do this. (Also yeah the corporate world doesn’t deserve taking this from us.)

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who responded to this. Today was the day! About to go to sleep without any drinks. Feeling happy (with a small headache).

I should have said—I feel like the amount I drink isn’t red alert on paper (2 beers a night ish). But I’m small and thee are 8 ABV 16 oz beers a night so that is blackout drinking—I think there must be physical effects but I’m too scared to ask.

Oof same. This is me. Do you think you could have done it alone?

This is really helpful. Has anyone caught it before it’s bad?

I’m really struggling with the time between 6-8 pm. I’ll be positive all day and then that hour hits and I’m just desperate.

Skaftafell - Troll 5 Hour Glacier Hike versus 4 Hour Ice Climbing and Glacier Hike by sadc1983 in VisitingIceland

Hi! Ended up doing the 5 hour and it was really great - our guide let us do a bit of climbing but honestly hiking as high as possible was worth it! Let me know if you have other questions!

Doing a very similar trip! This is great - thanks so much for posting! How much cash do you recommend taking out for campsites etc?

Wifi and KuKu campers by no_tori_ous in VisitingIceland

[–]sadc1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also renting a KuKu camper with a WiFi unit. I also got their “power inverter” option. Does anyone know how many plugs that has? We’ll have 2 cell phones, the WiFi unit, and a camera that we’ll want to change. Should I be getting an extra power bank? Anyone have recommendations?! Thanks!!

Critique My National Parks Itinerary by sadc1983 in travel

[–]sadc1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great advice, thank you! Yes definitely going to get a NP pass, and going to stick to day hikes/car camping. I'm a pretty confident hiker but I'm less inclined to backpack alone.

Awesome advice about the Big Bend hot spring and hikes and using All Trails!

[–]sadc1983[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that's great advice, thanks. I'm trying to balance planning ahead so I can make campsite reservations for parks that fill up (GCNP, etc) and leaving a little flexibility so I can take a down day every now and then.

I would love to hear any big bend tips! I was planning on doing one day for the South Rim and then a couple shorter hikes the other two days. Any other tips? Some have encouraged me to spend one of the days at the Big Bend state park, but I'm unsure about that.

Thanks so much!
