It’s Nothing Personal (Part of the Missing Link Series)

January 30, 2013

I used to be that person. You know the type. High-strung, uptight, and wound-up.  That’s how people used to describe me and that was before I ever graduated high school! “Lighten up, Alex.”  “Calm down, it was just a joke.”  Oh if I had a nickel for every time I heard things like  that.

Borderline Weekend

June 4, 2012

February 15, 2012

It’s a gray day here in Philly.  Nothing beats sitting in yoga pants and an oversized hoodie that I got from my yoga studio for $7 yesterday and eating an amazing bowl of oatmeal: In the mix: Oats, soy milk, dried cherries, Dutch apple butter, and slivered almonds.

Self-Care Sunday: Chopping Off the Locks

January 22, 2012

This weekend has been a difficult one for me emotionally.  Even though I am doing really well in my recovery, I’m not perfect.  I still have urges and sometimes they are STRONG.  The difference between now and my former self Pre-November is that I now have a lot more skills to use instead of giving [...]
