Giving Up the Past
Do not be mistaken; when we emotionally heal ourselves, we necessarily must give up the past including people and unhealthy dynamics.

Understanding Addiction
I have been reading a lot about addictions during the last several years, and learned that addiction is symptomatic of our emotional states and not just a condition in itself to treat. When we treat one addiction, we merely find a substitute with another addiction. How many times have you heard that when the drug…
