Recently I was tooling around running errands while listening to NPR, and the featured show was on the topic of Cognitive Positive Reframing. They were interviewing a woman whose husband was suffering from the effects of Alzheimer’s and she was heartbroken at the fact that he was only a mere …
I want to start treating this little blog like more of an online diary, so I might as well just start doing that. My point being is that this site isn’t necessarily ALL ABOUT BEING SOBER, because my life definitely has other facets, but it is about my life and …
The other day I was chatting with a new co-worker as we walked out to the parking lot, and we both laughed when we saw that we drive the exact same Jeep. I saw her checking out my multiple bumper stickers, and I held my breath. “I like your women’s …
