recovery
Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
Focus on doing things related to the goal
The pages of "Essentialism" have left an indelible mark on my perspective. It's more than a book; it's a guiding philosophy urging us to discern what truly matters in the cacophony of life. The idea of honing in on tasks intricately connected to personal goals while avoiding the temptation of scattered pursuits resonates deeply.
The Annoying Friend
I didn't think there was ever a problem with making friends. I was pretty out-going, fun, confident and was a fluent speaker.
Volition as Wings, Soaring Against the Wind
In the tremendous and extensive material of the sky, where the purplish blue meets the skyline, birds arise as valiant heroes in a story of flexibility. With relentless assurance, they take part in a hit the dance floor with the breeze, spreading their wings wide as though to oppose the actual quintessence of obstruction. Their rising to the sky turns into a demonstration of the dauntless soul that exists in, filled by a natural resolve that goes about as an impetus for taking off despite everything. This avian expressive dance, where each vacillate is a victory over difficulty, fills in as a significant similitude for the imperative job of tireless self discipline in our own life story.
"Who Are You Going To Be Today, Carol?"
Today, I know who I am. I am 'Carol.' But who is Carol? Well, today she got out of bed, did her hair, and her makeup; and she feels slim, happy, confident, and ready to face her day.

Stories I was told growing up, culture stories taught me values and lessons. Many in a humorous way. The story about the eagle flying through the center of the storm to get to the other side has been so helpful to me and others.

The second part of my journey. You can read the first part here: I am getting used to food. Some days I am fine, and on those days I can eat what I love without the guilty feelings that creep up, but on others,

Brown, different shades of boring brown are all around me. The carpet; functional, high traffic proof and two different shades of flecked brown on a lighter brown background. At least one of those other colours has hints of orange, and this colour is reflected in the faux wood panelling covering the lower half of the walls. Yellowish lighting pulls out the orange tones. I wonder if comforting warmth was the effect they were going for, because if it was, I’m not feeling it.
My Battle With Recovery After Eating Disorders: Part One
This is my story about my battle with eating disorders in the past, and how I still fight with food today. This story is going to be written as a series. There is a lot to focus on, and it is painful to write. I felt it would be easier for myself as a writer and for the reader if I wrote it in chunks.

Your Words Are Your Sword.
People underrate their words so much and too often. When people often get a "You look nice today," they answer like: "What? Me? No, No, I look awful today; this was a rough morning…" and continue in the endless negative downward spiral.
Zondra Dos AnjosPublished 6 months ago in PsycheThe Twelve Step Approach: Outdated or needed now more than ever
This post is inspired by a few recent posts we have seen attacking Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve step groups as outdated and ineffective. While the Beehive Recovery Blog does not promote one particular route to recovery as the only means to achieve sobriety, these posts prompted us to write some educational things about AA, as it has been a core part of many people’s path to happiness and freedom from drugs and alcohol (including most of our blog contributors). Everyone’s journey is different and there are many ways to achieve sobriety. Beehive Recovery Blog hopes to educate as many people as possible on the subject of addiction. This includes providing education in trends of addiction, recovery stories, treatment options and resources, as well as dispelling misconceptions.
