The first link is where I originally heard of this talk by Dr. Joe Dispenza and the 2nd is the link to the talk it came from. I sincerely hope you use these links and my podcast to further develop your thinking that will help guide you into a more healthy way of living.

And I gain more insight into my recovery the more capable I feel as a member of the my family. The more capable I feel within the more capable I will feel. Family provides a core strength that helps me understand how valuable I am. It is not enough to find family it is in keeping family that sustains me for years to come.
