So many positive reports today…..so uplifting. I have been 100% recovered for a long time now myself, but I am pulling for all of you because I've been through this whole process (many times).

One thing that has been on my mind lately is this……everything serves a purpose. EVERYTHING. The difficulties I've had attempting to manage this addiction are no exception.

I have been really looking at what all of this means for me….I am uncovering that there has been great meaning in this kratom addiction.

I have become strong in some areas I was lacking, I have learned to surrender and ask for help (and that there is no shame in needing to lean on others sometimes). I have learned the great joy in helping other people……I have learned that failing at something a few times doesn't mean success isn't possible…..and much, much more.

Good things sometimes come from my most difficult challenges……gifts that keep on giving, too. Yes, I understand how profoundly corny this sounds, but I am going to leave it as is.

Classes started for me Monday, so I won't be here as much, but I am pulling for all of you. FREEDOM ROCKS…… the ban may well be overturned, but I hope for those of you who said you wanted to quit anyway----I hope you totally succeed :-)
