Years ago I adopted the identifier ‘Cascadian’ as I fit most of the stereotypes.
(Referring to those of us that live in/around the Cascade mountain range.)
I know it’s not ‘a hobby’ but being native to the PNW, it really is a lifestyle. We’re out playing in the wilderness, hunting, fishing, enjoying the rain. We smell a little like moss & dirt with a hint of patchouli. We grown our own food and prefer our animals over people most of the time. I’m about to move across the country and I have no idea what my life will be like. I spend 90% of my free time outside in wilderness where most of my ‘hobbies’ take place.
Almost 3 years after quiting a heavy 26 years habit. I quit cold turkey.
Currently being forced to move having no income and no social circle and family is distant.
Super proud I haven’t broken yet. I want one ALL THE DAMN TIME.
I use physical exercise to help me get through my cravings.
