Thank you, chief and Kate!! I think you guys are wonderful, too! You have both been instumental in my journey. No worries here.. I think that these old boys have popped up because of my little trip to my mom's.. yikes! Anyway, they are just thoughts.. no action required anymore - thankfullly!

4theboys - that was terrific! I agree with you 100%! The more power you give the thoughts the stronger they get. I am very glad you have discovered this insight. You are doing fantastic!

Namaste, my friends.

:H:H I love that concept. It's true. During a recent chi gong treatment, the old master told me that "I think too much" My time was up so I didn't get an explanation. But, maybe, it's my committee. I tried "The Beast" theory for awhile but never could get the hang of it as the moderator would often be rather abrupt, harsh and scolding. I've been trying to mediate for absolutely decades but I can't get my mind quiet for more than a few seconds. I've tried EFT tapping and now I'm working on meditative deep breathing. What if I fail again. I feel that my clock is running out. I often think of running away from my life and joining an ashram. I got plenty of frequent flyer miles piled up!

So, here I am at the end of Day One stilling hating myself but laughing along while reading the forums. So many wonderful people here. :h I've never told "my story" to anyone, not even myself. g

Wow, MM that really brought it home for me. Thank you for sharing that.

You are so right and I am saving these words. All these committee's we have, it's time to end the meetings.

MM -
The Beast is sneaky and persistant.

Stay Vigilant!

THIS ONE DESERVES ANOTHER VISIT!

Over the past few days, I have been having some weird, but pretty strong "urges" to drink. You know the drill, I have been sober for five months, perhaps over doing it is finally out of my system (yeah! right!.....NOT!!) Don't get me wrong, I still love life as a non-drinker, I never want to return to a drinking life on any level. None the less, I had to look up this thread. It is so powerful and really helps!

Kate, I hope those thoughts and "urges" leave that pretty little head of your's soon. I am reaching a hand out, so grab it and I will pull you back, ok?

Thank you for seeking this thread out. I have never seen it (slightly before my time). So much truth here.

We must fire those committess!

Love you lots.

Love, Me

Oh my God, MM! This is amazing!! I have a Committee myself. They are a bunch of paunchy, balding men with briefcases and they draw up detailed "position papers" for all of their opinions. Well, no, a couple of them are sexy, or I would ignore them, right?:H:H:
thanks: so much for bumping this. Someone recently referred to this thread. It should be a sticky for sure!!

WOW - I had never read this either. Thanks for pulling it back up. I have to add - my committee went from the drinking committee to the "Your never going to be normal now that you don't drink" committee. Yes one group says "You were mentally healthier when you drank and smoked" another says "You also were easier to get along with back then". The other committee sits in the shadows and says .... "You look worse now than when you were drinking daily". OTF???? How do we silence these voices?????????? I'm trying to boot them to the curb, but they just get more subtle and sneaky. B@stards

Thank you, Thankful.......I am much better today!!! You are always there for me, we are always here for each other.......I am so grateful!!
I know what you mean Liv, we go along, everything is great, then all of a sudden out of no where the sneaky bastard is there again!! I honestly cannot even isolate a "trigger", it is just there. This comittee is ruthless.............I am so grateful that I have another comittee here at MWO..... We are non-drinkers and we love being that way!!!!

Kate,

Thanks for finding this today. I have been AF for 4 months and my committee has been meeting as well. While I hate that so many of us have to keep hearing these damn voices, it does help me to know I am not alone in this.

I've decided I have veto power.
