But as it relates more specifically to healing and the healing process,

For me, I think it has a lot to do with you have to understand the root cause.

Right.

And when you're substituting one thing for the other, you're not really addressing why you need that thing.

And so it's going to take you time.

You know, it's not an overnight thing all the time.

Sometimes you do just wake up one day and you don't have a thirst for it.

You don't have a need for it.

you don't have a craving for that thing.

But I really do think it's about that emotional stuff that you're dealing with.

And okay, and so what is really causing me to go this way?

Why am I using drugs or alcohol?

Or why am I using food?

Or, you know, even reading, you know, that can be a form of escapism.

So understanding how we're escaping and why we're escaping and what we're doing to distract ourselves from what's really going on within I think is really important.

And so

I talk a lot about radical honesty and acceptance and all the things that we've been discussing.

But in terms of I think the healing process for me in particular to like it,

I go back and forth all the time with marijuana, alcohol, and things of that nature.

But also, like I mentioned, the gym and just staying there for a second.
