10 maart "It's never too late to heal ourselves and our relationships, even with people who are no longer alive. People's souls endure, just as ours do, and respond to our changes of heart." Het is nooit te laat om onszelf en onze relaties met anderen te helen, zelfs met mensen die niet me...

Nieuwe workshop! "Herstel" Wat betekent herstel voor jou als naaste? Herstellen als naaste: hoe doe je dat en waar ga je doorheen? Als naaste van een dierbare met een verslaving, in actief gebruik of in herstel, word je onvermijdelijk meegenomen in de chaos van de ziekte; veel overkomt je...

9 maart "Women who love too much often tell themselves the man with whom they are involved has never really been loved before, not by his parents, nor by his previous wives or girlfriends. We see him as damaged and readily take on the task of making up for all that was missing in his life long ...

8 maart "The best rule of thumb for dealing with people whose lives are unmanageable is to scrupulously avoid doing anything for them that they could do for themselves if they chose ." De beste vuistregel voor het omgaan met mensen waarvan het leven onbeheersbaar is geworden, is om echt he...

"Never make threats you're not prepared to carry out. In fact, never make threats at all."

Uit nooit dreigementen die je niet werkelijk wilt uitvoeren. Nog beter is het om helemaal geen dreigementen te uiten.

3 maart "Sex is one of the tools we who love too much use for manipulating or changing our partners. We behave seductively to get our own way, and we feel great when it works and bad when it doesn't. Failing to get what we want usually causes us to try even harder. We often find it very excitin...

2 maart "To stop loving too much, you must lay aside your fantasy of being the one who will make all the difference in this man's life. That's your need, and it's not a healthy one." Om te stoppen met te zeer liefhebben moet je je fantasie opzij zetten dat jij degene bent die het verschil ...

29 februari "Remember, most addicts, whatever their addiction, do not recover. Most eventually die of their addiction. Try to take your relationship addiction as seriously as you would cancer. Become willing to go to any length to recover." Onthoud dat de meeste verslaafden, wat hun versla...

28 februari "Boredom is the sensation that we women who love too much so often experience when we find ourselves with 'nice' men: no bells peal, no rockets explode, no stars fall from heaven. In the absence of excitement we feel antsy, irritable, and awkward, a generally uncomfortable state tha...

"When we stop our half of the battle, the battle is over."

Als we onze helft van de strijd staken, is de strijd voorbij.
