Ocean, I have been hiking a lot. It is true. Every time I go out in the mountains by the river my anxiety is cut in half. Especially if I swim. And it's cold!

I fortunately live in the mountains with waterfalls, rivers and tons of hiking trails. I have recently been to visit my sick father at the beach and that helped but not like the forest. Thanks for reminding me.

The good thing is I didn't use or drink and today when I woke up I was so grateful! I have to remember to keep it in today. Today, this moment is all I have to deal with...not the rest of the summer with all my family bs coming up.
