Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all

Chris is quite perky these days. There are very few times in his life where I have seen him thrilled, but Sunday was one of them. His friend from high school who used to be in a band with him, phoned him out of the blue and asked if he would join his new classic rock band. No hesitation in saying “yes.”

The other times in his life where I would say he was thrilled are the following: Getting his first guitar, getting a laptop, our buying a la-z-boy recliner for our living room (all the men in the house were thrilled!) and being in a band.

He knows he has bigger things to think about, like a career direction, and he is working on these, slowly, while getting lots of support from others. For now, he is thrilled and it sure suits him.

I’m a mom walking the long road of recovery alongside my son, whose world shifted at nineteen with a schizophrenia diagnosis.

I offer the truths we’ve discovered, the mysteries we’re still unraveling, and a critical look at a medical system that often overlooks the spiritual depth of this "dis-ease."
