It’s one of those pesky emotions that holds people back. It held me back for more than 30 years. I’ve played it safe or didn’t play at all for most of my adult life. I came home from college almost every weekend because I was so home sick and I took a job practicing law [...]

Thank God.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on January 13th, 2012
Literally. I don’t publicly speak about my faith or my religion that frequently. Shame on me. But trust me, he’s been on my mind. A little over three years ago I used to cry the entire hour on the way to work and the way back holding on to the steering wheel for dear life [...]
New Year, new interview, new insight.

Hopefully with every new interview, I bring a little bit more knowledge and even more wisdom to the table. Here is my latest Q and A with Directlyfitness.com.
Resolutions.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on January 1st, 2012
Every year right around this time gyms, yoga lounges and Weight Watchers meetings are packed with people resolved to make big changes in their lives. But from my experience, the people who try to make too many changes too quickly are the ones who fall off the wagon the fastest. The people who vow to [...]
Withdrawing.

Google saved my life…kinda.
Posted by redheadlaw7 on December 14th, 2011
Well, a reader requested that I explain just how I got myself out of the black pit of depression and got over and through all of my addictions. I have myself so worked up about this that I barely even know where to start. I wish I could recount everything that happened for all of [...]
OMG…what’s happening to me?
Posted by redheadlaw7 on December 14th, 2011
That was the question I asked myself over and over along with asking every medical professional around “will I ever be normal again?” And no. It’s not happening to me right now… so stop worrying mom. But while doing some research over the weekend about panic, depression and anxiety, which I tend to do sometimes [...]
My motivation.

They are the reason I’ll never give in to drinking or depression ever again, my babies.
