today for the first time in many weeks, i am grateful to be alive. it’s brilliant how much genuine connection, even in a phone call, can positively impact us as human beings. i feel for all the starving people in this world right now. “to thine own self be true.”

thank you Toni. appreciate the reply. “it’s nice to know there’s something else in the cage, aside from cocaine water” if anyone gets that reference

just to clarify that was not my issue either. also alcohol with me. i was referencing this experiment where scientists put rats in a cage and only gave them cocaine water. 100% of the rats were addicted. they did another experiment where the built a rat amusement park this time. i believe the results were that no mice who weren’t already addicted got addicted and most of those who were already addicted, stopped using. i think that’s a very interesting model on how our society treats addiction. i don’t want to go down that rabbit hole right now, but every day that i become more clear, the real picture seems to reveal itself more and more. food for thought
