Simko: I've always found the twelve-step bit intriguing...
Anonymous: Those 12 simple actions did more for me than years of intense psychotherapy, medication, self-medicating and strategic geographical moves combined.

“Be Here Now”- Ray LaMontagne

Don’t let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don’t try
Don’t let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there’s a strength that lies

Don’t let your soul get lonely child
It’s only time, it will go by
Don’t look for love in faces, places
It’s in you, that’s where you’ll find kindness

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

Don’t lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don’t put your trust in walls
‘Cause walls will only crush you when they fall

Be here now, here now
Be here now, here now

How long to form a habit?

Although the average was 66 days, there was marked variation in how long habits took to form, anywhere from 18 days up to 254 days in the habits examined in this study. As you’d imagine, drinking a daily glass of water became automatic very quickly but doing 50 sit-ups before breakfast required more dedication (above, dotted lines). The researchers also noted that:

Missing a single day did not reduce the chance of forming a habit.

A sub-group took much longer than the others to form their habits, perhaps suggesting some people are ‘habit-resistant’.

Other types of habits may well take much longer.

Seeking Freedom from Co-Dependency?:

This Relational “Bill Of Rights” or ”Declaration of Interdependence” changed my life for the better.

I have the right to:
• Feel respected as a person.
• To be appreciated and not taken for granted.
• Effective communication with others.
• To have my privacy respected and to have boundaries.
• To not be one upped or one downed.
• Feel good about myself and my relationships.
• To expect trust validation and support from those who are my friends.
• To grow within and outside of relationships.
• To my own separate opinions, thoughts, feelings, and choices.
• To choose to stay or leave any relationship.

This is a particularly painful study of addiction and love from the series “Intervention” this episode features legendary Three Dog Night singer Chuck Negron and his son’s battle with heroine and his mom’s struggle with enablement. There are some really important messages of love and reality offered here. Pretty hard to keep a dry eye. Kudos to the Negron family for being open and sharing their story.
