"Buddhism speaks to inviting the discomfort in, sitting with it, instead of battling against. It's a "watch it come, sit with it, watch it go" mentality. The craving is not me...the urge is not me. That battling against is what creates addictional discomfort. The idea was weird and seemed counterintuitive to me at first, but when I realize the urge itself, the craving cannot hurt me and only has the power I give it...well a shift in my mind happened." soberlicious
This has helped me so many times. When I read this I thought WOW...so when I have a craving I head to a Thai temple and they are ALL OVER the place and sit and watch, come, and watch it go.....love this!!!! 1 year 3 months YEAH!
