About Me

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.

'Tis the Season


Hello and welcome to the holidays 2010 ! It has been a good year for the most part. I am still dedicated to my recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder. I have taken care of my body, my spirit, my mind and my soul this year to the best of my ability. 


I have read books to nourish my soul. Completed works that have envigorated me and kept my mind lively. I have been eating better, losing weight and taking care of my cardio-vascular system with exercise and supplements. I meditate daily. I learn new things, especially on the computer. I stay in constant contact with my Higher Power. I couldn't ask for a more "fit" year.

Sure there have been births, deaths, marriages and break-ups in my small world of people around me. But, I seem to have weathered them well. My therapist retired, but I got another and have an enriching relationship with her. I couldn't have asked and received a better year than 2010.

I hope that I can set an example to those around me, and that they too may find peace, joy, happiness and fulfillment in their daily lives. I am here today..healthy...and wishing to share what I have learned to benefit others. I will not push my ways upon others...only share with them if I am asked. I hope that they stay tuned into this website, and pass it on to carry the message to those who still suffer.

I look to a wonderful 2011, and hope and pray that I be brave in any storms that may come my way. Amen.
