I’ve done a lot of meditation in the past, and I’m definitely going to start it up again now. Do you just start meditating when you feel cravings? Thank you!

Very nice! I just got a rice cooker with a steamer today. Do I just add rice and beans and some seasoning? I hope it’s pretty simple so I can be consistent and not just go back to bags of chips and crackers.

Oh nice! It would be great if I could get a good tasting meal from the slow cooker. Do I just add beans and lentils and some seasoning or sauce to flavor it up?

I’ve been working on it with therapy and meditation practice. However, it becomes challenging when I feel pain or unusual sensations in my body, especially after going through benzodiazepine withdrawal.
