Hey AverageAmerican
Yea, this site has been a real Godsend for me. This early sobriety has been way harder than I thought it was gonna be. I can be feeling great one day, or one hour, and the next, my legs get kicked out from under me.
Like Phaleron and you, I do some hunting. I like to go small game with my boys, now 14, 16, and 20. It's great to be out in the woods with them. I have gone deer hunting the last 6 or 7 seasons and really enjoy the hunt, the whole weekend... My oldest son bow hunts and I wish I had the time for that.
This year, with the 2 month rehab falling when it did, I haven't been hunting. My boys went a few times. I am also into lots of shame and guilt and am having a hard time getting outside of myself and doing the things I love. That will get better.
