A Recovery Blog

This blog is about my continuing recovery from severe mental illness and addiction. I celebrate this recovery by continuing to write, by sharing my music and artwork and by exploring Buddhist and 12 Step ideas and concepts. I claim that the yin/yang symbol is representative of all of us because I have found that even in the midst of acute psychosis there is still sense, method and even a kind of balance. We are more resilient than we think. We can cross beyond the edge of the sane world and return to tell the tale. A deeper kind of balance takes hold when we get honest, when we reach out for help, when we tell our stories.

Message For Ed

Eddie, I'm with you. You have known me for 27 years through a telepathic connection through these young beings. I have a lot of faith, but limited understanding, but I am going to keep writing here about all the things that have helped me in my recovery from love addiction and the things I've learned about other addictions, especially alcoholism, codependency addiction, sex addiction. May what I write help you and anyone who reads some of the latest blogs. I'll be in touch here. 


A Longer Version of The Serenity Prayer


God, please grant me Patience with the changes that take time

An Appreciation of all that I have

Tolerance for those with different struggles

And the Strength to get up and try again one day at a time

Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can

And the Wisdom to know the difference.
