It would be nice if you kept showing up
I drank after 2 years my first time sober and everything fell out from under me. My BF at that time got me to take a "class" on Buddhism. It was 2 guys that practiced together with a small group of about 5 people tops. What drew me in was the 4 noble truths, but it was the first one ... that there is suffering. I truly needed to start where I was at that time. One of those 2 guys was my "teacher" although he would not go by that title. I am sure that just before he died he became an arahat.
It was the treatment center I went to and the therapist I found there that got me going in a true for me direction. Mindfulness and reflecting on things has really been changing everything for me. More so now then it did 32 years ago.
ok .. dinner time
