Good luck, and congrats on kicking addictions. I just quit nicotine a month ago, and have probably gained 10lbs already. But, I feel better. I wasn’t recovering very well when using nicotine because I wasn’t hungry. I track my HRV, and it had gotten all out of whack as well. Now, it’s back in the normal range.

Nothing special. I’ve quit The AT 53 times. My problem is I keep going back. Every hike has been an adventure.

Thru hiking isn’t what some folks crack it up to be. It can be boring AF. It’s just hiking really. When did it become such a big deal kinda thing? Hiking, really?

Yeah I agree, most days are boring and just putting in the grind. Sometimes in life you just have to push through.

If your first thru-hike led to you kicking two addictions, then it was a huge success, not a failure.

Why do you want to hike the Appalachian Trail? Sometimes the why helps you during the tough times. Also, if you have this vision of a NOBO hike, it's going to change a little in 2025 as towns and trails are still recovering from the Hurricane Helene damage. Hope you get the time and space to heal and accomplish your goals.

It really is baffling why anyone cares how other people spend their money. And even if you’re paying for hotel rooms and whatever, you’re still hiking the 2,200 miles. THAT is the hard part. Also, I feel like a lot of the time it’s people who say “hike your own hike” who then turn around and judge others for how they hiked their hike. It makes no sense lol
