Meditation cures addictions.

There is so much money spent and resources committed to addictions I don't know where to start.

So many hospital consultants and researchers seeking a cure for addictions.

Addictions to drugs. Addictions to caffeine (tea, coffee, soft drinks). Addictions to cigarettes and tobacco.

And there is so much spoken and written about meditation.

Even my peer support network emailed me today with 10 mindfulness tips, one of which was regular meditation.

Yet no-one seems to be making the connection between meditation and addictions.

Prior to meditation, I had several unhealthy, toxic addictions.

I used to crave my coffee in the morning. Tea in the afternoon and evening.

Once a day I used to have a craving for cannabis. The high that I was getting from the cannabis could not be equaled by anything else.

And of course tobacco. Once an hour I had to get up out of my comfortable chair and go outside for a rollie (handmade cigarette).

So my day was filled with addictions, whether it be caffeine, cannabis or tobacco.

Oh, and lest me not forget, my addiction to and craving for sugar. I would eat sugary chocolate biscuits, at least four or five each day.

Well folks, since commencing on a twice-daily, non-negotiable, twenty minutes per session meditation practice all of my addictions have left me.

I don't crave coffee or tea. I don't crave cannabis. I don't crave tobacco. And I don't crave sugar or chocolate sweetstuff.

I have noticed tremendous improvements in my mood. I am not lazy and I am much more positive-minded, generally speaking.

My relationships with those around me, including my parents, brother Eamonn and fiance San over in Laos have improved beyond recognition.

Since starting on this twice-daily, non-negotiable routine I generally take the healthy option, the option that's best for me when presented with a decision to make.

I saw a woman today in the supermarket placing box after box after box of Easter bunny eggs on the conveyor belt. How many Easter eggs did I purchase? 0. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

So if you want to turn your life around, if you want to avoid doctor and hospital visits, if you want to lead 'the good life' and avoid trouble like divorce or falling out with the people in your family/neighborhood/occupation, best get meditating people.
