I've been having odd beast behaviour due to hot weather and nice gardens yet even going to the pub doesn't budge my BP
The marvellous BP which is the simplest answer to any beast activity I encounter and a few reminders of 'playing the tape through' firmly centre my thoughts on the present.
This thread is another great example of the power of Now, in that no matter the date or the poster the words make sense and I am not alone when I have all the wonderful SR community to understand my journey and empathise with similar thoughts to mine.
I have also read Gabor Mate's book and I thank you for drawing parallel with the R in AVRT
AVRT is great along with all the other techniques afforded to us such as those of Tolle, Mate and psychological therapies such as CBT and CAT amongst others.
It is a joy to be sober and celebrate with you
Driving my wagon of hope through beautiful views on my road to myself
