Yes, my diving career rests on a solid foundation of Pinot Noir . . . and KoolAid!
InThe DrinK:
Your heartfelt post is the very best post I have ever seen on this board.
Diving can and has changed many a life. The calm ocean, the silence, the beauty,
being weightless under the waves, it all makes for an experience that, IMHO, is
unequaled.
Glad to know you are a fellow diver and doing well.
I dislike mentioning this but it's probably worthwhile.
I did a DSD in Thailand and loved it. My wife then bought me a referral OW course for my birthday. It was a bit of a last gasp for her to find something to maybe help with my heroin addiction. I did my classwork here in the UK and referral in Brazil. It took a little bit of time but the habit got kicked. I found something in life that 'fitted' me. I'm a gregarious person that finds human contact confusing and often difficult. I love being under the water where I can't speak and vice versa. My true love is diving and all my addictions, little by little, bit by bit, are falling off me the deeper I fall in love with my true love.
If I hadn't found diving I'd either be dead or in jail. A retrospective inspiration if you like.
