The joys of sobriety
The joys of sobriety
Hi all
I just wanted to post on here about my weekend. I've took up scuba diving in sobriety and love it, it's something i've wanted to do since i was a child.
Anyway i went up to the Northumbria coast the weekend to some little islands called the Farnes. Weather was beautiful, water was crystal clear, sandy empty beaches.
I actually got to dive with wild seals, they're bigger than you think!!...bigger than a large dog...there were hundreds of them. Saw lots of other wild life too, including a big jelly fish out in the deep.
Had i been drinking i would never have experienced this.
Sobriety really can give you a life beyond your wildest dreams.

Indeed. When I was 20 I had a friend who went swimming drunk and drowned. Probably a good thing to stay away from water while drunk.
Oh. I think I missed the point of the thread Earlier this summer I posted some photos from hiking around the lake near my house. Never would have done that while drinking. 5 miles through the woods every day after work... it was pretty awesome. When it cools off a bit I'm going to start again-- not much fun to do 5 miles in 100 degree weather.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to put that on my agenda of things I CAN do again.
I havent been on a dive in 10 years. I used to live in Florida and took a couple dive trips in the Keys. Awesome!
No wild seals though.
