What is optimal method of supplementation? OTC from drugstore? Diet? Thanks for your patience, I am a rookie.

Now the straw man is "Big Recovery"? If the 12th step is not about a purposeful life, I do not know what is.

I really like the analogy about having to pee. I think that is very appropriate. I got sober in the 12 steps, right after the neuropathy hit in my left arm, and I still do the Steps. The longer I maintain this state of affairs, the more I am aware of the truth in the statement that I am just one drink away from a drunk. I am even getting used to the idea that sobriety runs thought by thought or heart beat by heart beat.

Great article...had to laugh at the steel wool thing too. And may I suggest a phone call or Google Hangout to talk about how the brain recovers in recovery. Might be an interesting footnote to the downside of usage. Mike

I have struggled with this for my kids and I. There are some areas of tension for my 11 year old and I (clean up after yourself, voluntarily pick up the house, because you see the need,ect) and I have often thought of putting them down in writing with a behavioral checklist stuck to his door, to be monitored each morning, but have not done that. That check list for him is really for me, because that is how I keep my semi-ADD brain on track for a few of its major projects. The boy is doing well in school, his interactions with his five year old sister are typical, and sometimes loving, his buddies appear to be in the normal range of behavior, and I am grateful that he is not abusing inhalants, or booze, or drugs, so on the whole, I will leave this situation as is, although we have been dealing with the morning pick-up since school started.

I am an older Dad, 61, and my first born, who is now 11, doesn't believe me when I tell him we did not have running water in our farm house when I was pre-school age, and he also struggles with my liking rock and roll. He hasn't discovered yet though that I am not a metal fan, though, other than Led Zeppelin or AC/DC. He was never big on action figures, went right to video games. Thanks for the memories.

Send him over to my house, I need some help with that. I was trying to learn the Laberge method a few years back, actually succeeded one night, got so excited that I woke myself up, and have had no success since.

Selling stuff for profit on the backs of folks who are really going through this stuff makes me nervous. Hope they donate profits to the appropriate helpers. This kind of commerce is very sneaky to my mind.

I no longer try to capture the perfect moment. Rather I get some of it, which will cue the memory, then go join in.

I really like the stats. Please keep up the great work. Would love to be able to see individual referrers, if it doesn' t slow down everything?

I was on my way to do the same thing at age nine, and a buddy came running up and asked me where I was going with the rope, and I dropped it and ran off to play, not more than 100 feet from the place I had picked. Live changes fast.

RIP Shaka, you are missed and loved, and we just went through this with our old friend thunder, who is now buried in our front yard with a cross fashioned by hands who miss him.

Great story, my five year old will be going through this soon, so I will keep some cash on hand.

Our first six weeks with my daughter were like that. We thought we were going to be arrested for infantacide once or twice. How do you endure 20 months? But she did get over it, and then about an hour after that happened, she started climbing out of her crib and up onto the kitchen counter. Mike Logan

Re: 5 Tips On Fatherhood Your Dad Never Told You

How true, especially the silly stuff. I make it a point to do goofy stuff with my kids, make silly metaphors, and word plays. Since I work at home a lot, I get requests to play frequently, so recently I got to rediscover the trampoline, although my weight bounced both of them around quite a bit.

I love doing this to my son, who refuses, so far, to put his xbox cd's away after use. So I put them away. In whatever cover is handy. So far he in not phased.

My son loved Scooby, but my daughter likes Sponge Bob. Lucky he is up to X-Box Age. I can just imagine the conflicts. I guess I should tell my secret. I still find myself drawn to the next plot twist when it is on.

Hi Tom,
I loved that book too. Now I want to incorporate that work with my clients, my children (son just started Little League), and myself. I am a student of Chi Gong, and have had some similar experiences to what you describe with your feldenkrais training. Mike
