One of the skills is called "urge surfing" and involves imagining that the urge you're struggling with is a huge wave that rises up out of the ocean and seeing yourself surfing that wave...just riding it as skillfully as possible and watching it as it comes and goes. does this count? cause if this counts, i surf all the time, therefore i am. :)terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284855262535595879noreply@blogger.com
