Welcome to my world.
This journal is many things. A lot of it’s Al-Anon, as that has saved my skin on more than one occasion. In fact, most of it is about recovery from one thing or another. You might read me writing about all of the “anonymous” programs at some point.
My family lives here as well. I try to portray them as lovingly as I can. At least, I hope they know I love them. 
Put your feet up and stay a while. Hope you get something here and leave what doesn’t help you.
I really like your site. I especially like your sentence “All about recovery from the past, from life, from everything.” I am working on recovery from Gambling. But realize that perhaps co-dependency was my first addiction. Over-eating is one also. I have been reading several books this past 2 weeks on healing and recovery. I think the 12 steps is a good place to build a foundation, but I am adding other information to this for recovery. I like your manifesto, and am going to start writing one out for myself. Thank you for sharing and I can see how hard you work, you are a winner. Love to you.
Overeating is one of mine. I also have to be careful with overspending. But co-dependency seems to be at the core of everything, which is why I go to Al-Anon and not the other recovery programs so much. I LOVE reading and also add other things to my recovery. Go for it. Go for broke. (no pun intended). Judith, thank you so much for stopping by, and I love it that you love me! Right back atcha. Keep on keepin’ on.
