Attempting A New Chapter In Life

[Guest jazzyb]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,

A little background about myself:

I am a monah Sikh male around the age 30, I was raised in a partially Sikh oriented way, in that my parents both attended Gurdwara to do "raul" every weekend, however Alcohol and meat were always present in my life. I am educated at the Masters level at a N. American University and work a very promising and fulfilling career. I am also extremely happily married. My entire life I have loved Guru-sahib and have been a "Khailstani" since birth mostly due to my parents nurturing and teaching me what was happening to us at then present times.

I am currently dealing with serious issues such as anxiety and panic attacks and have been visiting a professional for this matter for the past 3-months. I also commit another major bujjer-kuriet in that I smoke cigarettes. But due to my wifes positive re-enforcement I begin a journey to quit this vile disease; a disease that Guru Gobind Singh Ji's horse, Neela, warned us about.

Today, I quickly googled "Anxiety and Sikhi" which lead me to todays Hukamnamma; the result of reading that Hukum was that I have realized I must reside by God's will. THis gave me lots of strength in trying to quit smoking so I went out to the pharmacy and purchased the "patch".

I'm hoping my little blurb will help me follow through with my plans.

Sat Siri Akal.

Keep japing naam and go to smagams (to be with sangat) be with sangat sangat is a roop of Guru Ji so go sangat and do some jap tap (naam abhiaas) and be confident

Also try going darbar sahib amritsar and have a ishnaan and do ardaas to maharaaj be4 about ur probs and have an Ishnaan and have bharosa that maharaj will fufill your Ardaas bro. Ramdas sarovar nahtey

I like MrKhalsa007 suggestions, I've found doing naam simran at home helps with worries, anxiety and feeling close to Viaguruji. Also speaking to Viaguruji of my innermost thoughts/worries and asking for the strength to overcome problems in my life

This is one of the easiest to say but quiet hard to accomplish - Bharosa keep bharosa of Maharaj completeing ur kaaraj, belwive in ur father and start falling back in towards Guru and have the everlasting Anand (bliss).

Also remember this- we all make mistakes except Guru ji themselfs "Bhulan andar sabh ko apul guru kartar" for example me I have done mistakes but we must do ardaas for maharajs to take away those sins, and for Maharaj to bless us with a Jeevan according to Gurmat (gurus way)
