thank you all so very much

Pete I am attaching what I give to anyone who breaks their sajja.
Loads do and thankfully only once or twice. This is sometimes a wake
up call to remind us I believe how out of control we can get. This
now has pulled you right back in and you can get back on track.

Just two pages in this and the second one is just a picture. I am not
sure if you took the Buddhist sajja or one to your self it does not
matter.

All you need is 7 incense sticks to light at once. Now it says put
the incense stick in the ground. I am from Ireland so this would not
work in our rainy weather. Plus privacy is an issue. My neighbours
think I am mad already. So when I am lighting my incense I have put
soil from my garden into a plant pot holder and keep it in my
bedroom.

I went to Thamkrabok July 08 from drugs and alcohol. I was doing
great but in October 08 I drank a lot one night and luckily I was not
offered drugs because I know that night I would have taken them my
resistance and emotions where so low. Like you I felt terrible. It
was only afterwards that I realised that feeling terrible was a good
thing. I retook my vows this way I am showing you and I have not
looked back. I am one year on as it is now October 2009. That does
not mean that I have not got stressed or tempted. I do of course.
But I have not given into it after getting the second chance. I do
light the incense when I am tempted and reinforce positive energy into
my thinking.

I so hope this helps. All to often if you are like me, its emotions
and matters of the heart that bring us down. We just have to make
sure we don’t use them as an excuse anymore to drink as we end up with
the emotional problem as well as a drink problem and feeling shit for
doing it all.

Chat anytime.

We all in this together and the more we fight it the stronger and
happier it gets. The early months are the hardest. It does get
easier

Your friend in Ireland
