This is great stuff Dee thank you for posting it.
I think part of recovery is learning to find better coping skills as well as being ok with being in discomfort as we're working through things.
Going to refer to this lots in the upcoming weeks.

Thank you D, anything that makes it possible to live a sober life.

I like the title of the tv special "The Only Way Out is In"

So true. For me active alcoholism was always about escape. It took me a while to realise that I was trying to escape from myself. However, life is so that wherever I am, wherever I go, I am there. There is no escape.

Through anapana and vipassana I learned that the release I was always looking for is found through not escaping. Through facing up to the inner self. Anapana and vipassana give me a technique whereby I can do that. Wherever I may be.

How apt- I was listening to that song at full volume in the car about 3h ago Dee. As usual- a most excellent and perceptive share. Always good to revisit such posts.
