Perfect Stranger Myth
September 26, 2014Stigma and Addiction
October 13, 2014A client with addiction issues used her craft work to keep herself occupied in an attempt to avoid using her drug of choice. She was gracious enough to give our business a number of placards to hand around the offices. Just to share a bit of levity, here are a few of her sayings:
- Some people never change their opinions because it has been in the family for generations!
- A hug would make my day.
- I only feel stressed three times a day…morning, noon and night!
- Before you give a person a piece of your mind, make sure you can get by on what’s left.
- There are moments when everything goes well; don’t be frightened!
- Many people hate any change that doesn’t jingle in their pockets.
- One man’s simple is another man’s “huh”?
- A man with one watch knows what time it is….a man with two isn’t sure.
- In the garden of life…Friends are the flowers!
Find ways to do positive things in order to help yourself manage your life in healthy ways. There is always a way to get to your goal. Be ingenious!
“Find a place inside where there is joy and the joy will burn out the pain.” – Joseph Campbell
