6. i tried everything.. lived at AA. I had given up and was just trying not

kill myself, being that i am hypoglycemic.. i was maintaining a moderate dose, with an occasional black out and F*ck up.

I ran into a Pema Chodron tape..'When Things Fall Apart'.. great tape, then i ran into a Tibetan Monk in El Paso TX, and learned to meditate, that is what helped me to stop..

after meditating for 3 years and 3 Buddhist meetings a week, 2 study meetings and saturday morning meditation.. i had a white light revelation during a group meeting... that Buddhism was like an AA meeting for people addicted to conventional thought.. that still makes me smile.

pm me any time you want.. i'll be your sponcer

I don't want no coffee or tea
Just me and my good Buddy Wiser
That's all I ever need
