Mindfulness training + addiction recovery

Here is an article about how I used mindfulness training to help me stay sober. I think that it is a really useful tool for any addict;

I would be interested in other people's views on the subject.

I think learning mindfulness is very useful but so is eating and sleeping right. Taking the body mind approach to life is the healthy way and I'm glad your finding your way.

keep up the good work

It can be very helpful in dealing with the anxiety and depression that so often accompany substance abuse. I'm an on-and-off practitioner, but fully admit that I need to perfect my technique and get better in terms of regular practice.
