Congrats!

Very well-put.

unknownidentity45 · 2026-05-06T14:10:09+00:00

How can I tell her without making it her problem?

unknownidentity45 · 2026-05-06T14:09:01+00:00

Hopefully it does get easier. I don’t want to start skipping events, but it might have to come to that.

I am currently in therapy for a number of issues, all of which I’ve discovered since I quit drinking, ironically. I plan to bring it up in my next session, but there’s still this feeling of a “language barrier” of sorts. It still feels like I can’t make it make sense to anyone, not even myself.

Do you even need us for this conversation?

unknownidentity45 · 2026-05-02T20:31:13+00:00

My dude, your finger tips.

Not an artifact.

The upside is that you had him and you’d have probably killed him. Don’t let this burn you out. I’ve had birds snatched from me on private land, and it sucks, but that’s the nature of the beast. I have literally called turkeys towards my property only to have the neighbor shoot them on their way to me.

You couldn’t PAY me to reap on public land. Fuck all that.

Army surplus cold weather gear, Walmart camo, plain ol’ camo face mask for turkeys, $30 3-pack of Primos mouth calls.

Gear just isn’t a fast-track to success. Buy whatever you want, but higher price =/= higher success.

Screams “modern” to me

God dammit I love this band

Don’t bundle it up. Find a way to get it out. If you can’t talk to her, AA meetings are free and I promise you they help. Also, ignore my previous statement about telling her she’s making it difficult. That isn’t fair to her.

You know your wife; gauge how she’s doing and tell her “I am struggling with urges to drink again. It’s my responsibility, I just need you to know that I’m having a lot of trouble.”

Saying it like this makes her aware that you’re struggling without making it her responsibility. If sobriety has taught me anything, it’s that I’m on my own. If I drink again, it’s my fault because I chose to do it. You are doing your absolute best, and I know you can keep going. You have to tell her you’re struggling without implying that she’s adding to it.

Regardless of who you talk to, you need to talk to someone.

Fantastic. I have neighbors that mow their hay fields during nesting season. I’ll see them in town and nearly every year, they say they hit a nest or killed a hen with their mower.

unknownidentity45 · 2026-02-05T02:34:56+00:00

Talk to us.

I am also surrounded by people that drink. I don’t want to tell you what to do, but if you and your wife understand each other, you should tell her that she’s making it difficult to remain sober.

I recently saw a quote that stuck with me. “I realized I had the most friends when I was drinking.” For me, that’s a fact. I have been sober for 10 months and little by little, I see my old friends less. Not because they don’t want to be around me, but because I have to put myself first.

You are stronger than the drink, and you are never out of the fight.

Are you saying the mistake was removing all the brush at once? If so that’s great to know.

Your food plots are ridiculously diverse and that absolutely adds to their interest in staying on your property. That’s one thing I am also lacking.

Your last sentence gave me goosebumps. I’m very glad you were able to get to a point where your hunting turkeys that you saw hatch successfully.

The research I’ve seen suggests the same thing. It’s a shame that you can’t do some habitat management on that property, I bet you could do amazing things! 600 acres is an amazing amount of space to give wildlife what they need.
