I have found meditation to be one of those things that’s worth the extra effort – sort of like flossing or taking a multivitamin – that I was only able to put in after years of contemplation. While the benefits aren’t always immediately clear, the long-term payoff is there. Maybe it has to do with being in a certain stage in life (for me the mid-30s) or having tried various ways of coping – whether they be drinking or some other distraction – and finding they don’t really get at the heart of things. I guess we all come to things in our own time – not a moment earlier or later, right? Thank you again and best wishes.

I can somewhat relate to your story, as I went through a very difficult situation the past 2 years, and at one point found myself drinking to cope. I stopped, and am now struggling to find my “center”, to find something to do to help my problems. I applaud you for your strength!
