I tried the EFT techniques I mentioned in my last post on one of my more unpleasant recurring negative thoughts a couple of days ago and so far so good….not completely gone, but greatly reduced – I’m well impressed 
So for my next move-as it sort of says in the manual “rinse and repeat”.
Another thing I’ve yet to mention that I’ve found useful is “guided meditation”.
On tape, cd or mp3, there are all kinds from “quit smoking” to “win the lottery”(joke!) but the mechanics are the same – soothing music overlaid with metronome sounds or “binaural beats” to cause you to relax into an Alpha brainwave state, and then introduce positive affirmations on top. The basic idea is to get these affirmations deep into the subconscious.
I had used these many years ago to great effect and then slowly forgot about them and went on my not so merry way. But since AA managed to wake up my spirituality I’m remembering all this stuff and trying it out again.
At the moment I’m using a self esteem meditation on my mp3 player and after 20 minutes I really do emerge relaxed, refreshed and positive.
And Grateful for another sober day
be well
