Kdeliass 0 #1 June 11, 2007 I did my first three jumps last week. It was amazing, and all I can think about now is to get back up in the air.. I feel unhappy without skydiving I just had this terrible weekend.. I had to work, and at the same time the weather outside was stunning, and there was full activity at the dropzone. I was so mad! Next opportunity for me to jump, is on sunday.. Its an eternity Are you guys feeling it this way? How do you deal with it.. Ive become a junkie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkycndo 0 #2 June 11, 2007 Sorry, there is no cure. But the treatment is to jump, pack, repeat. You will forever see the sky just a little differently then before. Now it's called a playground. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baseknut 0 #9 June 12, 2007 i was in the same boat bro. i started aff on may 18, didnt jump the 19th. and i finished on the 20th. i have been up every weekend since then. and i have 28 jumps now. i received my A earlier this weekend. just make sure you have money to jump. it is addicting, that is what keeps you coming back. welcome to the hospital, we all have the fever. oh yeah, and there is no cure.

riggerrob 643 #11 June 12, 2007 No worries, you can quit any time. For example, 15 years ago, I quit my day time job because they wouldn't give me weekends off. Then I worked at a series of skydiving schools and parachute factories. I work an average of 9.5 hours per day, six days a week, eleven months of the year at a DZ, teaching on sunny days and sewing on rainy days. My days off are spent goofing off on dz.com. I earned a journalism diploma for the sole goal of publishing articles in magazines like: CANPARA, Parachutist, Skydiving, etc. My last vacation was at a parachute riggers' convention. My next vacation will include visits with friends who work at other DZs. When I win the lottery, I plan to take a summer vacation in a country that has tall cliffs ... The remainder of my lottery winnings will be spent on a Cessna pimped out with wing tip extensions, in-flight door, souped-up engine, etc. I am debating whether to devote next winter to completing my commercial pilot license or aircraft maintenance engineer license. ... not sure whether I would prefer fixing jump planes or flying them ... Who am I kidding? I love flying jump planes! But I am not addicted, because I can quit skydiving any time I want. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflyit 0 #13 June 13, 2007 >>No worries, you can quit any time.There should be an AA group for recovering skydiving addicts. I could just hear something like "it ruined every aspect of my life, all I could think about was skydiving...it got to the point where I didn't eat so I could just do one more jump!"

quade 4 #14 June 13, 2007 Quote Are you guys feeling it this way? How do you deal with it.. Ive become a junkie Big fires burn out quickly. If you feel the same way a few years from now, you're living at the drop zone in a tent, working for the drop zone, doing anything you can to get into the air including foregoing medical insurance . . . THEN you might have a problem. Until then, I wouldn't worry about it too much.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
