Mindfulness meditation is also an important part of my journey towards becoming fully recovered from my destructive relationship with alcohol. It definitely helps me to balance my day. I hope the storm of your situation is starting to ease and that your day has been brighter.
I have some guided meditations CD's that I've used and have read several books on meditation. Right now I am just using a breathing meditation to help clear my mind at night before sleep. I was meditating in the mornings but the past few weeks I have been heading to the gym to some cardio. I also do yoga a couple time a week via DVD's which end with guided meditation and visualization exercises.
