I too loved Patricia's post in the newsletter as well as Janice's. What an inspiring start to the week. Thank you ladies!!

: I LOVED the *Radiant Life* post from
: Patricia in the newsletter this
: morning, thank you Patricia, and
: thank you Kathleen!

: What is rattling around in my head is
: thinking about how addict skills
: are really mis-guided self-care
: skills, and how these very
: important, life-sustaining
: self-care skills get lead astray
: by a biochemical hijacking. Where
: is the shame in that?? Somehow a
: great weight (shame, obviously)
: has been lifted from my psyche
: this morning, and I have a new
: appreciation and sense of
: 'rightness' about the journey that
: I am on with all of you.
: Wonderful!

: I am only on Step 2, and I don't dare
: go back and contemplate my own
: addict skills at this point, but I
: love reading about how those of
: you who have some recovery under
: you belt have transformed your own
: addict skills. Please feel free to
: share, if you feel so-inspired!

: Thank you all,
