Such a more liberating idea than a permanent, chronic, relapsing brain disease that is outside in the parking lot doing pushups and will one day kill me, as a fact. Understanding my drug use wasn’t the optimal activity, but it was the best option at the time. I wish I never had it in my past, but understanding and believing it isn’t my identity for life is exhilarating. @rhoadsoda @LifeProcessPrgm @speele5

@JustinTrudeau You and Trump are both fucking idiots. Good luck with a fentanyl czar. Absolutely stupid. People seek experiences through drugs. It’s human. Regulate them. Meanwhile, you can do what it takes to improve human life so that fewer people rely on them.

Nobody likes despair. That’s why we often try to minimize it or offer advice when someone says they’re not doing well. The Life Process Model takes a different approach—honoring a person’s pain and helping them build on their current situation.

I guess he’s planning to stay in office until 2031, when those IRS employees are ostensibly being hired. (To wit: most will replace retirees— including in the customer service and IT positions). Do we give a fuck that he says any odd bullshit?
BREAKING: President Trump says he will either fire all of the 87,000 IRS agents or move them to the Border.

We, at #LPP don’t really talk about #recovery. I mean… we’re not about what you’re “recovering” FROM: We’re focused on what you’re living FOR. And where you’d like to go.
