Awesome link Markern thank you very much!  It is wonderful to know that there are others out there that are finding the benefits of meditation on addiction.  Very encouraging.

My addict group "officially" restarts on Feb 15th now.  My trial classes worked out well and the administration at the Drop In Centre has given me the go ahead to start teaching classes.  I am allowed to take 20 participants per class and each class now lasts 8 weeks.  Then once these 20 participants are finished the 8 week course they can sign up for the second "level" of classes in which they will learn spinal breathing.  Everyone gets a free DM book, and things are looking very promising.  Most of the participants are struggling with crack addiction (not methadone or opiates) so I will soon find out the effects of AYP on stimulant addicts not just opiate addicts.  Very exciting for me.  Anyways, thanks again for the link my friend, it was a great read!

Love,
Carson[^]

I havew an idea. In norway there has recently been established a register and center for the study of exceptional cases of curing desease. They look for cases were the development of a health problem has been abnormal in a positive way and some sort of alternative treatment might have caused the positive development. Although your case is a bit special, it is not a disorder in the most commonly understood sense, quiting methadone with no withdrawels is both absolutely exceptional and if repeatable, wich there is good reason to believe it is, extreemly valuable information. I therefore think they would be interested in documenting your case story. The register they are making has gotten a lot of attention from researchers in other countries so buy being in the database you might get contacted by researchers wich would like to investigate if this can be replicated. You can contat them here: nafkam@fagmed.uit.no.
