SETBACKS AND RESPECTING THE ILLNESS

8/31/2010, from Recovering Treasure

This piece was not dated.  It must have been written some time ago as it is very faded and was somewhat hard to read.  I'm so glad I have it though as it really demonstrates how much effort we have to put into giving up sabotage and substituting Dr. Low's thinking for our own.  As … [Read more]

 

Unusual Circumstances require a meeting

8/24/2010, from Nervous Girl

It's been a while, but I'm still around -- just really busy. I guess it's good to be busy because it gives me the chance to practice objectivity. Or at least it's a distraction from what I'm really upset about. So I've had a few events of what we in RI might call "unusual circumstances." … [Read more]

 

Moving the Muscles

8/11/2010, from Recovering Treasure

When I was growing up and especially when I was probably in middle school, I'd inwardly roll my eyes when Mom would say, "Dr. Low told me..." or, "Dr. Low says..."  But of course, later on I learned to pay attention. First I paid attention out of intellectual interest, later to help friends, … [Read more]

 

Zipping beyond my comfort zone

8/10/2010, from Living with Anxiety

Self Endorsement

8/9/2010, from Recovering Treasure

It seems like one of the hardest things for me to remember is to endorse myself for my effort. I remember Mom remarking over and over how important it is.   Endorsement encompasses a lot. Effort refers to many things.  I will post one aspect of this and what Mom had  to say about it later. … [Read more]

 

Custody of Recovery

7/29/2010, from Recovering Treasure

Recovery has experienced  many challenges over the years.  At this time, we are going through what many other non-profits are experiencing -- the impact of a slow economic turn around.  So once again we are challenged and have had to make changes.  It has always been … [Read more]

 

Benefits

7/13/2010, from Recovering Treasure

My mother wrote in journals, sometimes for herself alone and sometimes to share with me.  They covered all different kinds of subjects.  The following is what I titled “Benefits” for obvious reasons.  The point she makes here is one she repeated often and to many.  I hope you … [Read more]

 

Eleventh Year Anniversary

7/6/2010, from Nervous Girl

Last May marked the eleventh anniversary of the first Recovery International meeting I attended. Back then, the name of the program was called Recovery, Incorporated. I only attended one meeting in May 1999 and didn't come back again until June of the same year. It took me a while to realize that … [Read more]
