These help us realize that it doesn’t matter what others believe. We know what is right and what our motives are. That’s all that matters.

Thanks Matt. And you are right, the opinions of others should not affect us so negatively like that and at the end of the day a lot of what led us into our addiction was often how we perceived others to perceive ourselves. Thank you as always for the encouragement and support brother

I'm doing great Taylor, thanks for asking. Friendships, relationships come and go, and remembering that when I feel physically "on-fire" with my pain, can be quite the task.

Hang in there and keep being here.
