Work in Progress

Although not the only time, but sometime at the end of 2004, after a few straight days of drinking hard, I knew I had to stop somehow, and for the next 3 days or so, I was so sick I could not believe it. I could not even hold a glass a water in my hand, they were shaking so bad. I really thought I was going to die. That was probably the worst of the worst as far as my physical self was concerned. But my life too, in general was nothing but a big mess. Huge mess. Nothing but loose ends all over…See More

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

Hmm..I began my journey into sobriety 2005, but I have fallen off now, about 6 times, I have managed to keep things up and up, but other things, not just alcohol, are "ganging" up on me-age, 20lbs overweight, lack of energy, stressful times, as I try to cope with the fact that I am heading for retirement, and my financial situation is not at all where it should be.So, I am kind of getting it from all fronts, and I struggle. Struggle like hell. But the thing is, once you "do" AA, you can't go…See More

So, I am kind of getting it from all fronts, and I struggle. Struggle like hell. But the thing is, once you "do" AA, you can't go back to the old ways. Alcohol is just not the same anymore. And yet, I know I can still get myself into all sorts of trouble.

I am wondering, is there a some type of meditation or yoga practice that could help for those times when I feel really stressed out, to help me to get over the feeling of needing to drink.
