YES


That's it.

Thank you again for this gift. Your post it is the perfect gift.

I am finding this a profound spiritual experience as well.

I'm very relieved that you are safe, that your family is well. I'm very glad that it seems that the reactors are going to hold. I don't mean to belittle that, there aren't words to express my sorrow.

But I, too, have seen the light! There are words, there just aren't enough of them!

ME LIKEY!!!!! I have been hesitant to post because the whole spiritual thing on the meds thread is somewhat judged. Sorry, judged may not be the best word guys, but I guess it's stated over and over how no one believes in the greater one. Or at least has faith in the greater one. I'm truly happy you have met him, or whatever happened to you. I believe when you met that priest, it might have been divine intervention, or just your time.

I'm not a bible thumping freaktard. I do however believe there is something much bigger than me, even bigger than baclofen. Not, that he will save me, if I can't save myself. Who would though? He did however, give me the tools and helped me find my way here. The minute I hit the switch Edo, I'm going to post it. Bac and spirituality are not mutually exclusive. One may help the other.

Oh wow Edoshaken,

I have tears in my eyes, all you've been through this week, and I know you've been through alot with the AL because you're here, and I relate to the spiritual awakening, I've had a couple of them, not necessarily due to AL but I do believe there is a purpose for things and the purpose of that priest in that odd place was for you to decompress and to confirm what you felt in the church, which was also purposeful. I used to baaahaaa this type of thing, I've been every type of athiest, godfearing, etc., but each is a way to reach a message or a messenger. I'm glad you found your message. May we all do so soon.

Be safe and well. :heart:

I think I ought to point out that when Jake had seeeeeen the light he wasn't referring to finding God, but discovering his true path "The band Elwood, THE BAND!". The fact that he discovered it in a church was somewhat incidental. The preacher was the one who showed him his path, but it wasn't the path the preacher intended.

And they ended up with "a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline."

I intend to honor the coin you sent.
I received it on the day of my last drink. It will serve to remind me of my commitment. I will also pass it on at an appropriate time, (one year continuous sobritey. March 13 2012) Though I can't imagine being willing to part with it!
I hope you and yours are still well, and far upwind. I am earnestly praying for an ease to the suffering of the people in your chosen country.

Thank you again.

Ring any bells?

"Hit it."

Quick update. Since my bacquake/church experience, the craving has crept back in, but only slightly. I still intend to stay alcohol free for until Easter. I made a kind of promise to myself about that. I won't minimize that experience by breaking that promise. I'm certain that I'll hit the switch before that time. My plan is to have a glass of wine on Easter. With any luck, I won't want a second. I don't believe that drinking a little bit of alcohol should be a problem if I am truly cured. If I'm not cured, I'll want more, if I am cured, then drinking a glass of wine should do me no harm.

SEs, short term memory loss, sleepiness, insomnia, short term memory loss. By the way, I also gave up sweets that day. Side effects are not overwhelming for me.

I'm getting out of town. Gonna take a trip down to Fukuoka and watch the developments with daiichi powerplant from afar. I worry that if an evacuation order is given for Tokyo, it would be impossible to get out. So, I'm gonna get ahead of the curve on that one. Wehave a newborn and a dose of radiation which wouldn't cause any harm in an adult could be very damaging to rapidly developing cells.

Good luck everyone. I'm reading the threads to which I'm subscribed, lushious, neちゃん, etc. via daily email updates, but am busy with my elder daughter as her preschool is closed until further notice. Not posting much, but you guys are on my mind.

Good idea on the pre-evacuation EdoStan.

I hope you know those of us around the world are watching what is happening in Japan and sending many thoughts and prayers your way.

Take care of your little one. They are so precious.
