"Information alone, no matter how alarming, is simply not enough to stop any kind of addiction."

Informatie alleen, hoe alarmerend ook, is simpelweg niet genoeg om wat voor verslaving dan ook te stoppen.

12 maart "What is most hidden in us is also what is most universal. Everyone has secrets that need to be uncovered and healed, and as we face our own, we help create a climate in which others can do the same. As we work on our own healing, we help bring about healing in the world." Wat het...

11 maart "All each of us really knows about parenting is what we experienced as children with our own parents … and what some of us learned from them was more about what not to do than about how to parent well. We need to appreciate everything , positive and negative, we've received from our pa...

10 maart "It's never too late to heal ourselves and our relationships, even with people who are no longer alive. People's souls endure, just as ours do, and respond to our changes of heart." Het is nooit te laat om onszelf en onze relaties met anderen te helen, zelfs met mensen die niet me...

9 maart "Women who love too much often tell themselves the man with whom they are involved has never really been loved before, not by his parents, nor by his previous wives or girlfriends. We see him as damaged and readily take on the task of making up for all that was missing in his life long ...

8 maart "The best rule of thumb for dealing with people whose lives are unmanageable is to scrupulously avoid doing anything for them that they could do for themselves if they chose ." De beste vuistregel voor het omgaan met mensen waarvan het leven onbeheersbaar is geworden, is om echt he...

6 maart "When we feel responsible for another's behavior and we cannot bear our guilt and anguish, we need help in managing our own uncomfortable feelings , not help in managing that other person's life." Wanneer we ons verantwoordelijk voelen voor het gedrag van een ander en we de schuldg...

5 maart "Many of us have been taught that good sex means real love, and that, conversely, sex couldn't be really satisfying and fulfilling if the relationship as a whole were not right for us. Nothing could be farther from the truth for women who love too much. Because of the dynamics operating...

"Never make threats you're not prepared to carry out. In fact, never make threats at all."

Uit nooit dreigementen die je niet werkelijk wilt uitvoeren. Nog beter is het om helemaal geen dreigementen te uiten.

3 maart "Sex is one of the tools we who love too much use for manipulating or changing our partners. We behave seductively to get our own way, and we feel great when it works and bad when it doesn't. Failing to get what we want usually causes us to try even harder. We often find it very excitin...

2 maart "To stop loving too much, you must lay aside your fantasy of being the one who will make all the difference in this man's life. That's your need, and it's not a healthy one." Om te stoppen met te zeer liefhebben moet je je fantasie opzij zetten dat jij degene bent die het verschil ...

29 februari "Remember, most addicts, whatever their addiction, do not recover. Most eventually die of their addiction. Try to take your relationship addiction as seriously as you would cancer. Become willing to go to any length to recover." Onthoud dat de meeste verslaafden, wat hun versla...

28 februari "Boredom is the sensation that we women who love too much so often experience when we find ourselves with 'nice' men: no bells peal, no rockets explode, no stars fall from heaven. In the absence of excitement we feel antsy, irritable, and awkward, a generally uncomfortable state tha...

"When we stop our half of the battle, the battle is over."

Als we onze helft van de strijd staken, is de strijd voorbij.
