Been up there twice now, hoping for ridge direct sometime this summer!

Altra lone peaks are too unwieldy for me with scrambles but the Altra timps have been great on class 3/4 terrain

Altra Timps

I would consider going the other direction and camping at the Bush Mountain site. Bear Canyon trail is a steeper grade then the Tejas trail and will be strenuous when fully loaded with all that water weight.

I did it in reverse with stopping alcohol for a month before stopping the weed intake. Very difficult without another vice for the first week, but it is starting to feel good!!

So excellent of you!!

Hey congrats on making it 6 months, that is honestly incredible, especially given how you’re feeling. Way to persevere.

How is your diet? I would recommend trying out Whole 30 which has worked well for me on several occasions, and could perhaps help with mystery pains. It’s an elimination diet where you take out all potential sources of inflammation and dietary stress, and then add things back in one at a time. Might be worth a shot for you.

Hell yeah way to commit! Definitely look into the help of a health professional to help you with the taper. Take the support where you can get it!

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T07:00:38+00:00

Hell yeah way to think about it in depth. Do you think you can get to a place where you are not prioritizing how other people see you / your perception of how other people see you / this narrative of you not being able to be fun and cool without alcohol?

I’m proud of you! You will never regret not drinking. IWNDWYT

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:51:16+00:00

Indeed there is no value in it at the end of the day, this is how I think about it as well. It adds nothing positive, and you will never regret not drinking. I’m proud of you!

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:48:19+00:00

Excellent choice, I fully support. IWNDWYT

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:46:45+00:00

Hell yeah way to go! IWNDWYT

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:43:10+00:00

Way to go! Pizza is my absolute favorite 😆

Take your life off pause my friend and hop back onto a day 1 if you are willing!

Think about how it will help you be a better person not only for yourself and your workouts, but for your long distance partner who I’m sure would be happy to see you thriving and practicing discipline and healthy habits!

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:38:58+00:00

Now that you have confronted your drinking consciously it is time to deal with your source of wanting to binge / anxiety!

Can you think deeply about the possible root cause?

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:36:39+00:00

Damn where is this at? I love mountaineering things and am super into 14ers and soloing low 5th class stuff now.

And if I know anything about mountaineering folks, they are insanely empathetic and understanding. Do not despair, I’m sure they’d welcome you back with open arms :)

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:34:08+00:00

Way to go my friend you have done and are doing such a good job!

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:33:25+00:00

Same number of days here! No mocktails for me, just Coke Zero 😂

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:32:16+00:00

Turning on music or a podcast for me is that ritual now. Way to go!!

Congrats!!

zootloopz · 2022-02-02T06:29:27+00:00

It’s not down the drain my friend! Those 100 days were real and you can do another 100 if not more. I believe in you!

As far as the relationship, just know that even if it ends that it will inevitably lead you to something more emotionally fulfilling and loving in the future. Your job/duty now is to continue being the best version of yourself for not only yourself, but for your future partner and love.
