MIRACLES HAPPEN: BRAIN HEALTH AND RECOVERY
Ten years ago, the father in this inspiring video (about a family stricken with kidney disease, fractured by his mental illness and a divorce, and now desperately seeking a kidney for yet another family member) had hit his second major crash from a major Bipolar manic episode, was a dry drunk, and was still actively engaged in a dual addiction.
Today, thanks to a number of modalities of self-care, maintenance of his Bipolar Disorder, and recovery from his addictions, he is living a one day at a time stable, sober life.
WHICH enabled him to give one of his kidneys to one of his sons two years ago and to support his other son through his current kidney failure AND to help advocate to find him a living kidney donor.
Prescribed medication, therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, prayer, meditation, EMDR, striving for earned secure attachment, affirmations, positive self talk, exercise, fellowship with fellow sufferers, service to others, AA, and recovery and spiritual readings can bring about miracles!
HOPING FOR ANOTHER ONE SOON!
