(July 5, 2016 at 7:29 pm)Thumpalumpacus Wrote: Mindfulness is something I practice in everyday life as part of my recovery from alcoholism ... when I find myself with a bad flow of emotions, I start observing the flow, chase it upstream until I find the problem, and then address it so that my day doesn't go to shit and trigger a drinking urge.

I don't formally meditate, but often playing my guitar induces a similar mental state.

I really admire you for doing that... I wish I had that much resolve because I've got a lot of addictions but have never tried mindfulness/urge-surfing as a means to beat them.
