This is so good for me to read right now! I totally identify with Paul's description and MycoolFitz's post is almost a "god shot" (lol).
Mindfulness has helped me more than anything ever has. For me, doing step 10 and 11 IS mindfulness (plus inventory).
Basically, I am stealing both of your posts and using them for myself!
Thanks, both of you.
