Yes you are ...Liz and Nan thanks for your thoughts. Yes you are right, sad that care not accessible to many. I highly doubt we could have afforded this but sounds hopeful for those who can. (Even though CEO said 95% of fees covered by insurance, probably not the insurance my fam has. We had to get approval in 3-day increments while Fig was in hospital. It was scary because we thought more days would be more helpful. Crazy. Yes mindfulness...medicine for all. And another thing, relapses are possible. Scary.

As you both (Liz and you)...really good post, Alice. As you both (Liz and you) know, we too have had our issues with a troubled young daughter (though we didn't have addiction issues). While we didn't end up with a rehab program outside the home, we ended up crafting a rehab program of sorts inside the home for about 3 months, supplemented with wholesome meals, activities (classes in tennis, yoga, art) and intensive therapies (day program, 2 weekly psyh med/talk therapy). And... it was only because we had the space, time, flexibility and resources to make it so. Appalling to think about those without even a half of what we could offer our kid. BUT...mindful meditation as such not a piece of that mix, though glanced at via yoga (and a perceptive yoga teacher) and therapy. Now, daughter has been doing more of that and it's really helping. F is also taking a class in it and I think before the calendar year is out, I may enroll in something too. <br />KCFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00685155860282341767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095391922604035629.post-87636419478618588172018-03-03T07:08:01.283-05:002018-03-03T07:08:01.283-05:00Lordy, my breath caught when I saw this title, but...Lordy, my breath caught when I saw this title, but whew, a <br />Third party experience. I have my issues! It is hopeful to me that we learn so much about treatign addiction/ mental health, but incredibly sad that it is available to so few. Alos agree that it is good for all of us to realize the price paid by general processing of food and our specific tendencies to stimulate/calm with caffeine, sugar, carbs. We all need more mindfulness in lieu of frenetic activity!<br />Great post, thanks!<br />LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01183606631980015813noreply@blogger.com
