Dear Bhante,
I have finally took the step to meditate daily, take precepts and live a more wholesome life in accordance with the Dhamma.
However, in the past 3 weeks as I am deepening my practice and understanding, it has been extremely difficult. I think they are withdrawal symptoms, because I have been staying away from entertainment and other unwholesome things. I am irritable, theres tremendous anger and frustration coming up that I didnt know i was capable of feeling. I am noting anger, anger, anger, sadness, sadness, but my realisation is that this will not eradicate those bad feelings! I am noticing how attached I was to results and having only pleasant feelings with practice. I know very well this is the best time to remain equanimous and not give into those feelings, but the craving gets stronger and stroger and I am starting to dispair...
I am writing not really to ask anything technical, I am looking for a little confirmation that everything is going well and i am not going down the wrong way.
Thank you so much. Love from Hungary.
