Saving Fish from Drowning

Posted Today at 05:44 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

I’m not really sure WHY – but this simply fascinates me . . .


The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and the good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding. – Albert Camus

Anniversary Pizza Party!

Posted Today at 05:34 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

Today was the great B-day / Anniversary Pizza Party!

It was so awesome!

Letting Go: The Journey For Your Life
By Barry Elwin-Jones

WHAT IS LETTING GO?

Letting go can be the most terrifying experience we can have. Letting go means having no support mechanism for our egos. Put simply, when we let go, we trust that everything is going to work out in our best interest even when we are in the middle of an experience that screams out to us to hang on.

Is Codependency Turning You Into Someone You Never Intended To Become?

Is Codependency Turning You Into Someone You Never Intended To Become?
~Diane England, Ph.D.

Who is the author most identified with the concept of codependency and the codependent? I suspect it is Melody Beattie.
