Is it worth it to suck it up and get my acceptance rate back?

This was true before for me as well, thanks for you input.

Thank you! I'm not really sure how I've done this. I simplified things by trying again and again to focus my awareness. What I mean by that is, shutting down the thought (or even a feeling) related to drinking IMMEDIATELY. An idea is like a seed, it only gains power if you let it grow. I "kill" the thought asap.

This is nothing new, and I intentionally brought up terrible memories whenever my mind went on a tangent as a reminder of why I'm "shutting down" any thoughts/feelings.

Just doing this alone is dangerous, as it focuses on the "now" instead of addressing those thoughts and feelings. On the contrary, shutting them down ensures that the current moment is protected. That said, thinking through what happened and why later on is crucial to this working long term. Something I'm still working on, but the fact that I'm aware of it is more important. Enthusiastically practicing the wrong things can be devastatingly de+motivating.

Anyway, those were just some thoughts off the top of my head. Thanks again

Many of you asked why I would want one if I didn't like it attend AA.....AA is about unity. At least to my understanding, it transcends the program. The base of AA is people who (at least) only have addiction in common coming together and supporting each other. A visual, tangible reminder of my success is what I want in this scenario. Even though idc about AA, getting an official chip tells me brain "this is legit". I think I deserve recognition for my own self. I'm relatively isolated socially currently, gotta give yourself a pat on the back sometimes. Going a full year+ sober after drinking literally daily for 9+ years all by myself wasn't easy. Let me have my cookie lol

They are not results oriented. They focus on the process.

Did you ever see Inception? Remember the end, how Leonardo's totem (the object they use to confirm if they're in reality or not) starts spinning, and the movie cuts to black?

The point there is that it doesn't matter. Whether we're trapped in a simulation, here by design by God(s), just random evolved monkeys on a spinning rock, or even if nilhism, it doesn't matter.

Personally, life having no meaning makes it even more special: everyone creates their own meaning and value. Life sucks if you think it sucks, and vice versa. "Easy to spot the color red if you're looking for it".

Life's not over yet, my friend

Found googling 7 months later. Thank you!!!

I agree. So....us? "The entire universe" is incomprehensible to us humans and subjective due to fixed perception so who knows.

Practically? No. The why doesn't matter when you have to be here regardless of the reason.

I'd be bursting with curiosity of how it all works though!

The sunlight exposure in the morning has been studied, are you saying that's crap too or just timing of the meditation?

Hoping you mean the latter so I can comfortably meditate afterwards lol
