xing Posted January 26, 2015 Pleased to meet you. I'm a semi long time lurker here but have found a thread that I'd like to post in. I'm a former Marine and served in the Iraq war. When I got out I was a mess, had nightmares, was drinking quite a bit, etc. I spent about a year and a half spiralling down before I realized that I needed to make a change. I began meditation 4 years ago and it has one hundred percent turned my life around, a permanent reward for a temporary effort. Thank you for taking the time to read this, may you find whatever it is that you're searching for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chang Posted January 26, 2015 Hello and welcome to the forum. You are accepted. Glad to have you as a member and thank you for that interesting introductory post. Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Chang and the TTB team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
