I can hear all the pain in your story. I offer my metta prayers to you, in the hopes that it might be of some help. Whether or not it will, I don't know. I can just hope your faith helps bring you some comfort and peace. With kindness, Sunada Kavitha,

For the past 12 years i had lived in continuous harassment and torture. i cant leave him for my kids sake, and secondly its against my tradition ( im an indian ). i knew that i have to accept this suffering and had been concentrating on spiritualism for the past 5 years. If possible please pray for my kids, my husband and for me . many thanks. hi Sunada,

Of course, you could choose to keep drinking and meditating, but I think you already know that it isn't the way to your true happiness. You say you already know the answer. Mindfulness can help us to see through our thoughts when cravings arise. But if you feel unable to manage this process on your own, I'd like to encourage you to seek professional help. Mindfulness and meditation are very useful tools, but they by themselves can't provide the answer. Wishing you the courage and wisdom to persevere, Sunada <a href="http://www.mindfulpurpose.com" rel="nofollow">www.mindfulpurpose.com</a> Hi David,
