Addiction & Recovery

regardless of the alcohol issue. I also hate camping, so I feel your pain. I enjoy being outside and walking in the woods or on a beach but I really hate having to live there, even for just a weekend. I insist on indoor plumbing, electricity, and an actual bed and I do not like having to fight off mosquitoes while relieving myself in the shrubbery, or trying to sleep in a sleeping bag in a tent full of mosquitoes while there are bears outside the tent just waiting to eat me, or it rains and the tent and my sleeping bag get wet. Or one time in the winter on a cross-country ski trip where we camped in subzero weather. Freezing your ass can be a real thing. If camping is not fun - and it's not - and it makes you want to drink just so it doesn't suck quite as much, you very definitely shouldn't go. Stay home with Netflix and popcorn.
