Thank you so much! :)

I agree with all you said and I am SO glad I finally realized it. I have dropped booze, and cigarettes and am eating really healthy only for a bit over a week but I know it's going to stick this time. I am committed to finding relief for my relentless bladder pain.

I am also using my debilitation to create my businesses online and build for my future. I think my 30s and 40s will be where it's at.

I think I had to grow up a bit faster than most people due to my abusive and crazy childhood but that didn't make me wise... I only started wisening up recently when I realized the ball is in MY court now and I need to make my life one worth living. I think my growth really started when I cut out my toxic family.

Thanks so much for such a thoughtful response.

PS - I love Dr Seuss books. I was going to say I love Dr Seuss but then remembered he was very racist.
