You are doing great KT. Walking is the perfect exercise really, I do it everyday with my dogs and always feel better afterwards. And GREAT STUFF on 15 days!!! It really does get better and better...

Wavey, it sounds like you are doing loads better than previously. I used alc to give up drugs kind of and it stuck with me for many years....I hope it doesnt do the same for you...

Surfing is the hardest, scariest thing I have ever tried to master...

I am truly nothing, in the ocean in 8 foot waves, I could get knocked out, drowned or eaten at any stage..

But when you stand up and fly on the water it's like riding nature itself...

I can't explain it...But it;s awesome...

That sounds better than any drug or drink to me Wavey

I don't do drugs anymore Starts (Occasional spliff one every few months)

Alcohol is my problem, at least a bottle of wine every night, has been more like 2 lately (after 8 days AF)

Bollocks!

But, I'll get it sorted :-)

Just in some weird relapse land at the moment, planning AF in a day or two...

F&%$#*G Hard work Innit?

Surfing is most definately better than blacking out and feeling depressed and anxious the next 2 days...

Maybe I should move to the coast (I'm at least an hour away)

Ahh yes, but so so worth it...
I thought an af life wasnt worth living, it took me a while but yep, it is worth it.
And surprise surprise I am getting quite good at it :-)

I live near the sea and have always spent time there with my dogs. I just love it when its really stormy and I can stand near the waters edge and feel the spray and raw power of the ocean. It just makes me feel so alive yet so insignificant on the scale of things. I cant imagine what its like to surf an 8 ft.

Do you have the option to move?

You are so lucky KT, I am about 2 hours from the beach, but go as often as poss with the dogs. I feel so relaxed there and the dogs absolutely love it.
What dogs you got?

KT, The ocean is the most beautiful and the most terrifying thing I have ever come across..

I think that's why It challenges me, I love it and am very scared of it...

I've sat on the beach, watching 12 foot waves (Left my board at home, bollocks to 12 foot waves!)

Spent hours just sitting there, having a few beers (Doh!) Being amazed at the power of the ocean and totally mesmerized...

It's a shame it seems so amazing, we spend way too much time working....
