Thank you so much.

Great.

Well, that's where you vomit like crazy.

That's right.

Right, okay.

Kayleen, can I ask you a question if you don't mind?

Absolutely.

So my friend Ben Bueno, he runs a rehab facility.

He's a really good guy, really, really good guy.

And I had a conversation with him recently.

about this because I can self-medicate as well.

Now, I've never gone so far to where I felt like it was like I'd have to go through crazy withdrawal or anything like that.

But I do know my tendency, which is to reach for something to kind of self-medicate.

And he asked me a question I thought that was so powerful.

He asked me, what's the driving force or what do I think this is making me better at or what am I medicating?

And for me, it wasn't like I was medicating pain or anxiety.

I thought it made me better.

So I thought it made me happier when I'm with my kids or when I'm doing things that I don't want to do and it'll give me energy or makes it easier to be present because my mind wants to wander type of deal.

And that actually helped me a lot because then he asked me, well, is that true?

Does it really make you better?
