Good Morning Aberrs! -

BTW, I feel Great! and thanks for asking!

Mindfulness meditation, now that is something worth thinking about or meditating upon. I have meditated and the goal of true meditation is to empty the mind of all thoughts which is *very* difficult to do especially for a Type A personality like me. But when you do do it, it can be almost euphoric and is extremely calming. That's what we all used AL to do now wasn't it to calm and relax ourselves?? So it would stand to reason that meditation or mindfulness meditation, could be very useful to help us simply relax or better navigate our way through alcoholic urges and temptations. I'll have to give this a try.

It is so great to see you again Brigid. For those of us here who do not know of her she is truly one of the great success stories here at MWO and almost 3 years sober is *HUGE*! Her story has inspired me in so many ways and a great example of her insight can be found here... Two years sober for me today and I can't wait to read your 3 year post Brigid.

Have a great AF day today everyone!!
