Camping

Thought I'd quickly check in with you all to strengthen my will power . I'm camping right as we speak, and luckily have a bit of cell reception that allows me to post. Usually I wouldn't condone the use of electronics while camping, but I've made a habit to express myself on here to avoid a relapse.

Usually when I'm camping I drink.... A LOT. Like blackout drunk, or at least suffer from a terrible hangover. I'm not going to lie.. I wanted a beer badly as I sat by the fire, but you know what I didn't and I'm enjoying myself so much more. As soon as I got to camp I no longer needed to just start drinking. Instead I learned how to chop wood & make a fire, I set up the entire tent and bedding by myself, cleaned up, and had some food with my Parrier water. I just feel like I accomplished so much more being sober, and now I am the only one not passed out from booze, and I even have some time to post here and enjoy this fire as long as I want tonight. It's so nice to actually live again!
