It is there that I can listen to the solution. If I am "in my head" and I can't get to a meeting for a few hours, I quiet my brain by sitting still to meditate. I close my eyes and I try to focus on my exhaled breath. If I find myself thinking, I simply say to myself, "thinking" ...even if I have no idea how long it's been.... and I go back to focusing on my exhaled breath. I try to stay with it for about 20 minutes.
To me, my breath is a reminder that Higher power is with me. Since I cannot control my breath... it happens on its own, without any help from me... and has the power to keep me alive... to me, that is Divine intelligence. The Power Greater than myself.... is within me. My job is to get quiet and make conscious contact with it.... I listen to my breath, I let my breath go to, and relieve all the tension in my body... and I sit, present with my breath. There are many ways to meditate, this was a method from Pema Chodron that made it so easy for me. It brings me peace. I'm addicted to it, I do it every morning and evening.
I hope this helps, it helps me. If you don't like it, please don't criticize me. I am a sensitive alcoholic too. It's a character defect of mine, I sometimes give people too much power. Just for today, I'm going to try not to give anyone the power to kill me.
Namaste, my friend.

If you are going keep posting, will you please tone down your titles, there are a lot of new people viewing and speaking for myself the word Kill, killing, dead, surely you could cut back on the drama......just a little. ok?
Toni,
So are you in or are you out, have you made up your mind, we all work the 12 steps, it is what keeps us alive and away from the disease, so in so much of what you have to say, I feel stumped.
Peace of Mind is always my only goal, and my HP that I choose to call GOD helps me everyday, when I remember to ask first thing in the morning, an continue thru to day.
Welcome to MIP if you are staying, there are a lot of people here that help me everyday, when I ask...
Ha ha No Worries! thx rob and the others who understand
I really am trying to understand, but you gotta remember, I'm just a drunk here...not known for my awesome brain power my friend. How about sharing your story with us to give us a little better idea where your coming from? Oh, and I haven't said it yet, but welcome to MIP!
Brian

Yeah. Me too...even though I'm full of fluff and have no substance in my posts I still want to read yours and learn about you! Put in writing buddy! We are here for you and trust me, I've been here a long time. All of us are "real" alcoholics. I could share some serious drunkalog of mine that would leave you without a doubt, as I'm sure could many others.

Bill recovered real one. Come on baby boy when I see the truth and hear the truth its the truth. I heard the stories from behind the podium.and I identified but when I read that but that my sponsor keeps making me syudy every day.I got to. See the truth! Not every one in the roons get that opportunity that we have enjoyed. When I got that I did axactly what you are doing now shouting the glad news and good tidings to the new people . But what I forgot is that I have to be tolerant and open minded to othere peoples opinions on things such as god and how they made there appoach. I do agree that the frothy and feel good sycho babble that is on here is really no different then what we see in the rooms .you know wht they say if you can't hit them with a prayer hit them with a chair. No wait that's what they say about me. Keep exposing your thinking and feelings .be thoughtful of the senative ones . And considerated of the nuns the mothers and daughters that are on hear to. Keep showing how this solution is working .what about what you have to surrender to god how are you getting ready or preparing to be of maximum service.how many hours are you in that book ?and hoe does doind these things making your life great.or so it don't suck ? Expecting some answers here .I know I need some help to .
