Midwest, United States
I am a first-born female over age 60. I am middle class, and have a graduate degree in Business. I have over 28 continuous years in recovery from alcoholism. I have been in Borderline treatment for over 14 years. I still have not reached full-time Serenity, but I have continued to survive this disorder using distress tolerance skills, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and emotion regulation. These are the 4 components of the DBT Skills as devised by Dr. Marsha Linehan. Email me with any questions at amy@alawebpages.com. Many thanks and blessings for sharing my interest and broadening your awareness of this disorder.

Writing a Book

Hello, and good morning to all who are interested in Borderline Personality Disorder. I welcome your curiousity. I have not contributed to my blog the last couple of months, as I have been busy writing my first book! Yes, it's a meditation book for those who have an addiction along with Borderline Personality Disorder, and there are a lot of us that fit in that category.

I have finished the book, and it is in the editing process. I am waiting for permission from one person to use excerpts from one of their books in reference to some of the days' entries. I have made 366 entries, one for each day of the year. I am hoping to get it published one way or the other. I am making plans to submit it to a published house that accepts and published books on recovery and healing. I am working on it, and other related projects. It keeps me out of the doldrums.
