I have decided to blog about my practice of yoga as the primary source of therapy for recovery. I hope this blog will be a place of inspiration and refuge for all who suffer with mental illness, addictions, and other compulsive disorders. I have struggled with depression and addictive/compulsive disorders all my life. Only recently I have found good recovery from severe depression and alcohol dependence.
About Me
- Evi
- I have completely overcome eating disorders which emerged during my young womanhood, and I have also overcome addiction to cigarettes and marijuana. I am not interested in 12-step approaches to treatment for addictions. However, I do support Moderation Management as a beneficial therapeutic community, and I have found members of that group to be loving, supportive, patient, and kind.

I am beaten
I have had enough, and I'm raising the white flag in defeat. I have been defeated by alcohol. I have posted this Shiva, often thought of as the god of destruction, to represent the tearing down and rebuilding of myself. I accept myself as a whole person, complete depite the fact that I'm shattered and flawed, because in accepting my wholeness, I also celebrate that I am beautiful and loving.
