“Rob’s entire life was successfully laid out, his attributes taking center stage, his accolades only a few seconds shy of the next brilliant offer, and the next rave review. Our family life seemed happy, at least from the outside looking in, and why wouldn’t it? I was the dutiful little housewife, he was the brilliant plastic surgeon, and his daughters closed the circle of the perfect family. When he was gone, working late, patching people up, consulting on emergencies, with the children long asleep, I would often stare at myself in the mirror, and wonder how my life had gotten so far left of where I was once headed. My face, without makeup, was burdened with secrets, lines that threatened to one day reveal themselves like a roadmap of my unhappiness. But for all Rob’s planning, he couldn’t have anticipated that on the second day of August, at 5:45 a.m., his life was about to become completely and forever irreparably changed.”
― Laurie Elizabeth Murphy, Dream Me Home: A Story of Betrayal, Infidelity and Love

“The mindfulness definition of an addiction is a SELF-INJURIOUS IMPULSE DISORDER.

The mindfulness-based treatment teaches us that we can become AWARE of these self-injurious impulses and learn that they are coming from a really small part of our brain: our AMYGDALA, which is smaller in size than an acorn. We can learn that it is this part of the brain that presses us to self-injure and disregard the consequences. While the amygdala is inside us; it does not truly represent us. We also learn to be AWARE that it is our much larger, grapefruit sized, PREFRONTAL CORTEX, which is the home of our self-caring and self-protective impulses. Our prefrontal cortex is our true representative and the home of authentic "I". The mission of MINDFULNESS is to help us learn how to get our PREFRONTAL CORTEX to become LARGE AND IN CHARGE!”
― Brian Ackerman, Me, Myself & My Amygdala: A Mindfulness Guide to Sobriety & Well-Being

Most of all, it’s about the organization of all this data into a meaningful and workable whole.”
