Wanted to share the past few days
I haven't been around the past few days because I was on a fishing trip from Mon-Wed night, as some of ya know I'm a huge fly fisherman, that's what brings me great joy in life is being knee deep in a trout stream
Anyway....spent the past 3 days with a good friend whom has been by best fishing buddy/explorer in Norther Michigan for the past 5yrs. He's about 20 yrs older than me (58) but we have always got along great and share a lot in common and do a lot of these trips together. So long story short I just wanted to share a picture from the end of one of our days with everyone. I'm about 100 days sober now while we were on this trip and I thought the way we ended this trip was pretty fitting to how I feel these days with the relaxing sunset behind our drift boat while we snacked on some river side burgers. Coulnd't think of a better place in my opinion to celebrate 100days.
I'm seeing more&more that Life Sober really IS good!

Thats great. really relates to where Im at now. Ive been sober since mid january. I love the outdoors, every fishing trip involved a cooler and beers. Now, sober, I realize its even more enjoyable than before. I love life.

It's wild how the things that predate alcohol, which is pretty ancient, are so much better. I am not into fishing itself, but being on the water is one of the best things to do, and it's natural mood management!

Cool. I am a fisherman as well (scared as hell we won't have much of a season in the Gulf because of the oil spill). I do have a west coast albacore trip lined up.
Please post some more pics if you have any.
