Introduction - 2008/09/02 20:04
Hello all,
oh my God how wonderful it is to be back in the sport. Man it's killing me though. I have been having a really tough time staying focused while writing papers. I mean seriously I have lost my ability to stay focused - my thoughts continually are redirected to the sky's and to my next jump.
Here's what I wrote in dropzone.com
"Short but sweet history. 11 years ago I started jumping - I made 25+ jumps in the matter of a summer. Than someone (non-jumper) introduced me to clubs - X - and ultimately cocaine. Coke became my best fried for at least the next 6 years and alcohol continued on for the next 5. I can't tell you how stupid I was during those years. I never once got into trouble with the law, but all the same I was living a lie and spending stupid amounts of money. For what???? About a year ago I starting trying to kick alcohol - my wife was really getting on my ass. I wasn't able to; I finally came to my senses and made a deal with her and myself. It was agreed that if I got sober I could take up skydiving once again. After 30 days of sobriety - I once again experienced the ultimate thrill. Now that I'm getting back into the sport - I realize how stupid I was. My God, whereas the coke high only lasted a few minutes before wanting another bump and the alchohol just made me stupid; it''s been over 7 hours since I touched down from my 2nd return jump and I'm still feeling the (high). Now that's what I'm talking about.
I guess my point is Skydiving truely is the ultimate high and the best drug around!"
I'm so looking forward to jumping again this weekend. I am wanting to rent a rig to jump with all day Sat. or (if needed) Sun. if anybody has any good ideas please let me know. The only thing that is stopping me from my A license is learning to pack my own chute and jump with it.
Take care,
Mark Sehnert
