Now I can articulate what problems are from my illnesses,and not my drinking.

Good job!!! BF
"The battle ground is in the mind." This! Yes!! Precisely.

"Now that thought to [whatever] has starved to death,
and it's left behind in the past, and gone."
And you get into the presence of Now sans all that struggle and grasping and aversion.

You sure can articulate it very clearly! You've got a strength of clarity from all that mental muscle you've been cultivating by mindfully choosing. One moment at a time, one minute at a time. Bravo.

And thanks to all for your encouragement here in this neighborhood. Always nice to stroll through to see how you fine folks are doing.

Best,
Theta

I am trying to use less and use stevia sweetener instead. It has a different taste and I am trying to get used to it.
I think I am down 4 pounds.
I have a busy day today, work then dinner at jason's deli, they have a great salad bar. Then a night of jazz. We were given tickets so that will be fun!
I work tomorrow which I don't mind at all, helps to keep me focused and doing something productive instead of lounging around and wasting time.
My house needs desperate cleaning, I just am not up to it. I wish I could hire a cleaning lady....If I had thought about it I would have hired one while he was gone in August.
have a great day
87 more days till my birthday...I can hold out surly....23 so far.
It's getting close to a month now. You are being very courageous. This takes allot of will power,and Gods help to accomplish this. BF

Hi Bizi. Is it day 25? How are you doing? I'm hanging in there. It's really cooling down in the Mid-Atlantic area. BF

I am doing fair tonight. had a great day at a german festival although jeff lost his keys for about 20 minutes it was terrible imagineing how we would get home etc. someone found them at the kid zone where we had been watching the kids play. thank goodness. I had one non alcoholic beer .5% and then they ran out when I went back for another.
I just took a much needed shower and my OCD tendancies kicked in and took foreverI rubbed my face raw...sigh getting ready to watch exfiles and drink some tea. just taking it a day at a time, I feel crazy tonight....my neck is bothering me maybe jeff will rub my shoulders if I ask nicely. He is a good man. Did a load of pants scrubs and took them out of the dryer and folded them with creases getting ready to iron them. It was such a chore tonight like pulling teeth, I will iron them tomorrow night.sigh every thing is effort tonight and I have not even looked at my day for tomorrow. getting behind in paper work again. sigh
thanks for asking steve.
((((HUGS))))

Hey Bizi I know what you mean. I have all kinds of these knit picking OCD,obsessions,and compulsions. Luvox has helped me with this. I still check things over,and over sometimes. It depends on the day,and biochemical situation. The medications are the key to helping this problem.

My parents didn't understand OCD when I was a kid. No one talked about Phobias,and OCD back in those days. They didn't know what was going on. They talked about my OCD like it was stupidity.

One of the areas of the brain where the OCD originates is the Basal Ganglia. BF

Bizi,

I completely understand how much of a chore it is to get ready for work on Monday. I start on Saturday afternoon so I do not feel stress on Sunday. It only helps somewhat.

Steve,

My mother probably has some OCD that goes with her anxiety. It was hard growing up with her and is still hard to deal with her.
