As I keep experiencing life free from addiction I keep learning new ways to deal with life just as it is. Zen philosophy and practice really helps me stay in the moment. That alone helps out much more that I expected. Many times when 'I just let go' and 'get back in the flow of life' without clinging on to how I would like life to act for me...many of the difficulty that I think as stumbling blocks actually become opportunities to grow.
