for me in the beginning it was my husband and kids, and finding this site, being able to associate with others, which also allows me to ask questions,be honest, be afraid, be doubtful and wavering in strength,only to then find the support, encouragement, the challenge to look at questions that are put back to me when needed.
Now its the site, along with feeling so much better physically (even lost weight!), being much clearer in my head, better able to cope with day to day challenges, and an overall feeling of well being. The Mindfulness training has complemented all of these.
While I respect AA does it for some people, and there are aspects of it that I take, such as the one day at a time, I have no real desire to attend meetings and align myself to an organisation, too many memories of my parents relationship with it.
What I think I need is to stick with going forward is this site and regular postings, keep up the mindfulness and continue to learn from others success such as yours.
without showing my lack of IT skills too much!! how do I access your blog?
Wishing you continued success Mcaodha
