Hi, I think, (and I could be wrong here), that what you are talking about is sitting with a situation or an emotion. To let it marinade without acting on all the urges and impulses it brings up. There’s a certain strength in that ability to simply notice and experience something. Good luck. SJG

Thank you, Regine. I might borrow that metta for myself. And I will do all I can to continue sharing my personal exploration. Your kind words mean a lot to me.

Life is not easy. Decisions are not easy. Anxiety is not easy. But learning about all of it is a reward in and of itself, and also somewhat exhilarating and motivates to continue the journey of self discovery. Thanks for sharing your perspective. Very illuminating!

This online “sober matters” blog is genius. I am for you rooting around and finding a gig that lets you continue to bravely hold the mirror up to us and tell us stories about getting sober. I value those stories from you and Susan Piver and others. New metta for me:
May I be at ease
May I be happy
May I be grateful for my mysterious, beautiful, poignant life exactly how it is
May I be sober in thought, word and deed
