The trick is to not only associate "you" with your thoughts, or shut them out entirely, but to watch them float like clouds withought emotional reaction. Something of the sort.
Sorry Erem. I highjacked your thread. Anyways due to my recent marital split, i"m temporarilly living with my parents, who have a fully stocked wine cellar, and drink regularly. So I know how you feel. I just can't wait to get out and have a home with no alcohol in it.
