The Lost Art of Self-Care
By
Sherry Gaba
Sometimes us psychotherapists and healers are so busy helping others learn how to give themselves the self care they need, we forget to give it to ourselves. There are different names for it, but I think “caregiver burnout” describes it perfectly. As Thanksgiving approaches, I realize I may be approaching burn out. As addicts and…

By
Sherry Gaba
So why is it baby boomers can’t just say NO to pot smoking? Maybe it is because they are part of the me generation. Perhaps it is because they have the largest disposable income available to them to purchase drugs. Maybe they are in a time warp and still believe it is the 1960’s. No matter what…

By
Sherry Gaba
I spent my summer filming Celebrity Rehab 4 with Dr. Drew Pinsky and a host of professionals I respect very much–plus a cast of very courageous people who were willing to expose to the world the pain of their addiction and their passage to sobriety. The new season airs on VH1 starting December 1, and…
Your True Values
By
Sherry Gaba
One of the things you should be noticing about your sobriety is that your values are changing. Things that used to be important to you–maybe having time to get high, a knack for making up convincing excuses, or buddies who can drink as much as you can–no longer are important. And things you once…
