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 hate that I struggle with drinking. I hate that it is occupying so much mental space. I hate CRAVINGS. Yet, I can't stay away from the stuff. I'll make a resolution just for today. Tomorrow I can pick it up again if I want. Today I will love myself, and I will accept that I have an addiction, but that doesn't mean I'm bad, icky, ugly, gross, or otherwise awful. In fact, I live a very textured and inspiring life. So, I will appreciate my body and brain for what it is, and accept that it is flawed and human.
