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

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]
