Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.

I was clinically depressed. I was paranoid. I was agoraphobic. I would have days at a time of not being able to even bathe or brush my teeth.

We cannot see what we don't believe.

Some of us are returning to sanity, because we're tired of the pain. We're in a hurry. No time to mess around.

My experience is that the teachers we need most are the people we're living with right now.

An uncomfortable feeling is not an enemy. It's a gift that says, "Get honest; inquire." We reach out for alcohol, or television, or credit cards, so we can focus out there and not have to look at the feeling. And that's as it should be, because in our innocence we haven't known how. So now what we can do is reach out for a paper and a pencil, write thought down, and investigate.

It takes only one person to have a successful relationship.
