Not Sure what to do from here

[Clancey]

I just registered and being not very computer savy just need to feel my way around the pages for a while I guess. I don't know how the chat rooms work since I've really never used them before. Plus I don't know the "Thread" option or what it means. I'm really a very back woods guy when it comes to computers and I didn't use to be that way.
I finally decided I need to do something with my drinking before things get any worse at home. My wife has started attending Al Anon but wouldn't tell me anything that was going on or helping me recover or solve my problem. I understand my issues but I feel I'm in this recovery on my own but I would really like to feel my wife is with me with true feelings of love and compassion but I'm sure this is awakward for her since this is the first time either of us has experienced this drinking issue.
I would like to know if there are any medatation tapes I can purchase and I would like to know more about this holistic or hypnotic treatment that's available.
My wife is a Reiki (sp) Master and I don't know if that is of help or not.
Mostly good medatation tapes and reading material.
I went to my very first AA meeting last night and I'm more on the shy side of things to be able to talk to a room full of people I don't know about several certian issues I feel is very personal to me and my wife that contributed to the delema "I'm" in now.

Hi Clancey,

Welcome to MWO, this is a good place!
This is a lot of help available for you here, don't worry about your computer skills!

At the top of the home page, click on the tab that say Heath Store. There you can purchase the MWO book and the Hypnotherapy CDs. It's a bit of an expense but well worth the investment.
The book explains everything you need to know about the program. I highly recommend the CDs - they teach you to relax & reinforce all the new things you learn.

Right here in the Just Getting Started section is a thread called 'Newbies Nest'. Please feel free to visit us there, ask questions & let us help you along

You've made a great decision & you can turn your life around, I did!
Wishing you the very best on your journey.

Hi Clancey and welcome. This is a great place. I joined in October and it saved me from going further into the hole than I had already gone. I didn't feel comfortable attending other types of meetings in person for a variety of reasons, so I stumbled around here and have found so much support. I highly recommend the book, although I haven't tried the cds. I'm sure they would only help. The supplements have made a huge difference in my life and you can get stuff you need at a health food store if you want to try things out right away. That's what I did and it worked for me.

Best wishes to you!

Hi Clancey,

Welcome, you've found the right place for help with this.

I'm sure you will soon come to understand how the forum works. A thread is each of the titles you see displayed in the various sections, "just starting out for" example, you started a thread when you posted here. The posts are the individual comments within each thread. If you want to contribute to a thread just click on the post reply button, you have to be logged in of course.

I am certain that Reiki healing would be helpful to you, it can help you to relax and to release anything that is standing in the way of your progress, it is more than for physical healing only. Regarding meditation there are a number of threads with links to recommended sites and books, some are free to download, here is a thread on meditation (just click on the blue text following this and it will open the thread up in a new window for you) https://www.mywayout.org/community/f9...ion-27125.html
