And when stress gets big enough, people look for relief. And so they look to behaviors or substances, which then can, if the stress is big enough and repeated, can become alcoholic. So that stress is not really the wound. It's the relationship to it. Like I said, the limp after the broken leg, but that limp

while it's not the broken leg, informs how we walk or don't walk, how we run or don't run, how we view ourselves, how we view the other people in the world view us. And all of those things together can lead to a level of stress where people find relief. And since it's chronic, then they keep using.

But then the behaviors and things that they do while they're using or drinking create a trauma itself, which then leads to more stress, which then leads to more addiction. So it becomes kind of this perpetual motion machine, if you will.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I believe that there's some initial research going on that it can help with cravings and addiction in general. It makes sense to me. I mean, I've heard that anecdotally over the years that people that were diabetic and also alcoholic, but the diabetics that maintained their blood sugar properly, had less chance of relapse. I mean, there's this very simple

kind of an acronym called HALT, you may have heard of, hungry, angry, lonely, tired, which seems so simple. It used to drive me crazy, but it's so true that, you know, people tend to be at higher risk for relapse or using when they're either hungry, they're angry, they're lonely, or they're tired.

And if you can maintain that, I would imagine that it would have some interesting effects. I was just at a meeting with some of the executives of the major insurance companies, our company, and has a private meeting with them.
