  • Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety

    Thursday, July 3, 2008 | An Educational story

    I started using my tapes and workbook from the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety.  I thought why not tell my friends about this because it is extremely helpful.
    These are some things the program stresses:
    1. I can't change the past.
    2.  I can change my attitude.
    3.  I can change my present.
    4.  This condition is temporary.
    5.  Knowledge is power.
    6.  I am intelligen...

  • SHAME - The Lock-Up!

    Friday, August 15, 2008 | An Educational story

    This is the 2nd entry about the 'Refrigerator Rights' Relationship Series we are doing at Church.
    This Series is *really* hitting home with me, and I think it will hit home with you too, whether you are a Christian or not.

  • Why Worry?

    Sunday, January 18, 2009 | An Educational story

    Life is a challenge every day and it's so hard sometimes to stop worrying about the future.
    Along with other self-help books I'm reading "Courage To Change - One Day At A Time in Al-Anon"
    So much of what is written here pertains to all of us in our everyday lives, not just to those who live with an alcoholic.  I wanted to share this passage with my friends.
    "Why am I leap...

  • A powerful moment.

    Wednesday, February 11, 2009 | An Educational story

    I had a crazy day, but it ended with an inspirational moment. I haven't slept in about 48 hours (long story - will tell you some other time - but things are fine) and then I was invited at the last moment to a reception where Michael J Fox was speaking about Parkinson's Disease, his experiences and the battle to find a cure.
    I'm not a big charity guy - I don't spend much time at fu...

  • Coping With Loss and Grief.

    Monday, March 2, 2009 | An Educational story

    So, I am still really grieving the loss of Lauren, though it makes me feel angry (maybe irrationally so) to see the boards have "moved on" or whatever.  Sheesh, I decide to finally sleep and everyone is just back to posted about how they want to continue destroying themselves and "what should I do?!"  I feel like repeating over and over about how this WILL KILL YOU a...

  • Panic Attacks, Anxiety & Depression

    Tuesday, July 14, 2009 | An Educational story

    First I'd like to give you the definition of anxiety out of Webster's Dictionary which says:
    It's a painful uneasiness of mind, usually over an anticipated ill. An abnormal apprehension and fear often accompanied by physiological symptoms such as heart palpitations, dizziness, feelings of bewilderment, sweating & increased pulse by doubt about the nature and reality of the threat ...
