Monica as a Christian I would say steer away from “all that stuff”.
I perhaps have a naive view or perhaps I was given a glaringly huge sign which I read – but there is only one healer who heals through miracles .
I find it absolutely easy to accept that there is a link between addiction and “new age practices”.
I refuse to even do yoga now and over all as I gradually feel cleansed from the things I dabbled in many years ago -I find feel cleansed inside and outwardly .
My life Had improved so much – mostly by the removal of negative people -and the introduction of positive ones – this has happened over time -maybe this is why the addiction is proving easier to beat this time. Also many people who have been in my life a long time – for example at work- at last see the real me and the seem to like what they see.

I think you would find solace (and maybe even contacts !) in a good Christian church Monica.
You are a good person. I don’t think you are a snob and I know Laura doesn’t think so – we both have formed friendships with you and that is because we value you and like you- it really is that simple !
– I never reached any dizzy heights in my career , but I know that to bring in a good salary means so many sacrifices – the biggest being time with our kids. My happiest days are when I’m off and there is a lovely dinner sitting on the table when my child gets home. It is difficult now to turn our back on all those sacrificed times and accept less !
Thank you for chatting last night- I am still anxious but I am
Clearer in my mind about what I have to do – I think sometimes we forget how fragile our mental health is and looking after that is my priority right now .
