An old poem I forgot I even wrote.  It shares my
story about how I freely let my life be stolen... by a
beer, a shot of whiskey, or anything else that got
me high.

The 12 Steps of Self-Parenting
This is not a 12 Step group, but rather a 12
Step book for healing the inner child in us.  This
month on the ramblings page I share my
thoughts on the fifth step, Learned to share our
self-parenting issues with others without
self-recrimination or shame.

The Twelve Steps of CODA...







John Bradshaw, my favorite recovery author, has
said that alcoholism and addiction is a secondary
disease.  He believes that our main addiction is
co-dependency.

If we weren't co-dependent we wouldn't be
alcoholics or addicts.  I do believe this  No
recovery is on solid ground if we don't deal with
our co-dependency..

can become reality
***********************
2010 is the year of the
ACOA Promises
The second promise of ACOA says, Our
self-esteem will increase as we give ourselves
approval on a daily basis.

Self-Esteem Through Love shares my experience
of finding love and self-esteem through my
Higher Power.







I struggle with the word "self-esteem."  To me it can
send me straight to being proud which is something
I don't need or want.  The article of the month talks
about self-esteem being self-worth which is
something I need to remind myself - I am worthy.
