RE: Some thoughts on SUFFERING
Thank you @futuremind. It is not easy, and you have a plate full! However, you are here, the worst is over and you have survived. That is a major something! I have replied to you on your blog, just would like to suggest a few things for you if I may:
- Book: Healing the Child Within: Discovery and Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families
-1 hr docu/movie on YT: Samadhi
I also have a good friend @camuel, who has also had 'tribulations' with alcohol, he blogs and vlogs about it.
And my friend, we are not powerless, we have just given it away. We can take it back and no power in the universe can stop us, except for ourselves!
I'll see you around 🔆 🔆 🔆
Thank you for the resources @barge, I will check out this documentary tonight. I'm looking forward to it!
It's certainly not easy. I no longer crave the drink. When my anxiety is bad, I seem to crave it, but I know that is an illusion. What I am really, actually craving is anxiety relief, and the more tools I obtain to naturally relieve it, the better off I will be. Thank you for your time, and conversation my friend. I look forward to speaking with you again!
If you enjoy the doc, there are some guided meditations associated with it which should come up in the suggestions on YT. You mentioned 'mindfulness', what about meditation? It is considered to be the most (by a long distance) effective way to treat acute anxiety....also, if the mind is saying 'this isn't working', it is probably not the case that it isn't - we can just observe the games as they play out, no action required (including thought :).
