It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.



Peter F. Drucker
What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter.

With survivors suffering from P.T.S.D., it's a balancing act. If things have progressed to the point where addictions are present, then surrender is needed. That's the way addictions are healed, by admitting powerlessness over them. But before realizing one's powerlesssness, it is necessary to first do something to get into recovery in the first place. So, if healing is desired, action is mandatory. There is no other way in which one can be healed, short of a miracle.

Here is a link to Titanic survivors and their lives.

Note the percentages of survivor chart on the front page. Money sure helps sometimes.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
