- At my home group meeting last night the topic was gratitude but we also read the daily reading and there was a line in there about how gratitude leads to humility without which there cannot be true anonymity . Not a direct quote by any means but...
- I live in NNY and I don't expect 80 and sunny on the last day of May. But this is ridiculous! My wife and I went golfing around noon and it was 60 degrees but the wind drove us off the course. I've come home from ice fishing warmer!Just two hours...
- I'm not sure if this is an ego topic , or just me trying to meet the world of today.I've got a full time job, a regular part time job and two per deim jobs. I'm grateful for them, it's alot better than no job. But it is a juggling act and sometimes...

- Hello all. I've been sober for a few 24 hours now thanks to AA and the higher power. I only get to about 1 meeting per week these days and thought I'd join here for added support.
- Wow, this board was just started what a couple of weeks ago? And now no post?Are we here for anxiety or ADD??? LOLWhere is everybody?Joel
- I'm trying to develop strategy for when a new worry first rears it's head or an old one intensifies or for when my mind wants to play "Find the fear"I'm finding that by applying techniques such as facing the greater fear (Worry Cure) or taking...

- I think this group might have the potential to aid in my recovery, so here I am. Looks like some good wisdom here already in your membership.But , I gotta admit, I've got mixed feelings on the free speech thing. I'm a rights kinda guy as you might...
- I'm a recovering alcoholic and I often work the tools of AA quite well, which includes a strong dose of staying in the hear and now.Some stressors , like budget cuts that might effect my job, I let go of fairly well. But anything I can talk myself...
- I've been talking about this and this AM has been a perfect example.The first part of the line "The power of doing what you do not want to do" is from the book the Worry Cure. For me I added "When you do not want to do it" This morning I'm sitting...
- We're constantly reminded of the physical effects of our societies sedentary lifestyle , yet we seldom consider the effects on mental health.Our bodies have changed little in a hundred years or even since the days of hunter gatherers.Yet, our...
- Like anyone whether they have anxiety or not I have good days, bad days and OK days. I had a really good day yesterday and I find myself trying to reconstruct it. A feeling of true relaxation is rare for me and I experienced this yesterday.Perhaps I...
- I'm in the process of trying to become more pro-actice in dealing with my anxiety.I'm reading the "Worry Cure" by Robert Leaahy and I'm going back on an SSRI. Just doing something other than reacting feels good.
- It's a serious question. I'm a believer that part of why we do things is secondary gain. Sometimes I think my anxiety , especially the kind where I worry about stuff I know is highly unlikely , takes my mind off the real issues I need to deal with ....
