1,2,3...bungee!!!
Hey guys,
Hope you are all well.
I just wanted to share that I ticked off something from my bucket list today. I completed my first bungee jump and am still smiling hours later. It's something I've wanted to do since my teens but then life and alcohol took over and it was kicked to the side. Standing on the crane today, it felt much higher up than it looked from the ground and I realised I would be free-falling towards a car park. Once I had jumped, a sense of real fear struck me that, should the equipment fail, I would almost certainly be a goner. Then I realised that I very nearly had been a few years ago due to my alcoholism. Once I felt the bungee cord kick in, I let myself enjoy the bouncing and I have to say it was one of the most awesome experiences of my life - and one I certainly wouldn't have been able to do had I still be drinking. I have booked another jump for August and so much looking forward to it! Feeling so grateful for my sobriety today.
Wishing you all health and happiness.
Thanks,
Emma

Thanks, guys. At one time, I probably couldn't have imagined doing anything without alcohol in my system but I feel like I'm living more than ever now. Hope you have a lovely day. :-) x

Emmsie, love it!!!!!!
I felt that way when I went skydiving. It was amazing.
I love pushing myself in ways where I am a little scared and I do it anyway. I spent so many years living in so much fear...afraid of virtually everything. Practicing fearlessness is critical to my growth. I very much enjoy making fear my b*tch.

Soberlicious, I love how you've just put all that! I can relate so much as I was a scared little rabbit in the past - still am, sometimes. Great to hear you went skydiving. You've inspired me to give that a go at some point. Sounds awesome but so scary, I bet!
