Stick with it religiously and it WILL help. The last few months have been some of the worst in my life and meditation made it tolerable. I can't imagine going through what I have without it.
If you'd like additional resources, PM me and I can pass a few more along.

Really appreciate the info regarding this subject. I'm willing to try and do anything to make things better than they are, because being sober simply isn't enough to control things in my head.
I'm unhappy now at nearly 23, but I hope for that to not be the case by my 30's or 40's.
