Hi Rhonda, Congrats on six(edit four) months. When I was early in recovery the first time, I suffered from anxiety and agitation. A dear friend in the program asked me "can you handle this feeling for just this second" and I realized I could. Each moment, in and of itself, was all I had to experience. I didn't have to worry that I felt anxious yesterday or that I might feel anxious tomorrow or even whether the anxiety would ever end. Also, it helps me to tell myself "its just a feeling" and not connected with any external events.
sometimes i work the program one minute at a time instead of one day at a time.
I agree with meditation tapes and easy yoga DVDs.

Thank you for sharing.
