I am on a 10 day camping/fishing trip up in Northern Minnesota, only .3miles from the Canadian Border. I have been fishing before, but never like this. Coming up on 3 years of sobriety, I figured I deserved a cookie! Well, a camping fishing trip with my cousin, sleeping in a tent and fishing every day. It is so peaceful and serenity is all around me now. Especially not listening to a single car passing by. Listening to the wind, hearing nothing from the normal run around life is such a welcomed break to pat myself on my back for sticking to it and not faltering back into old habits. Dont forget to give yourself a pat on your own back and dont beat yourself up, because of what you were in the past, because you are making a great effort to leave that old life behind you. Forgive yourself, I have.
