I was feeling a little sorry for myself this morning because my wife and I don't have kids, and this older gentleman was talking about how peop...

Are you meeting roadblocks to recovery? A disorder means out of order, not the way things should be. Are we convinced that addictive behavior is counter to the way we are intended to function?

Apologies Sometimes, we act in a manner with which we are less than comfortable. That's human. That's why we have the words: "I'm sorry." They heal and bridge the gap. But we don't have to say, "I'm sorry" if we didn't do anything wrong. A sense of shame can keep us apologizing for...
