And here's a good quote I heard today, Muddy. It's not from Buddha, it's not from Jesus, it's not from some famous psychologist, it's from Brian Welch of the band Korn, and he knows what he's talking about. I hope every little bit of wisdom may help you. You may know he's a recovering addict.🙏

"Now, when I think about it, I have lived a crazy life. I've toured the world dozens of times, I've made ridiculous amounts money, I met millions of people along the way but I still felt stuck. I felt alone and misplaced. What I realise is that true peace and genuine growth demand a price beyond money, beyond gold. They require a sacrifice of time, effort, selfish desires, and truly giving up control. Until you're willing to pay that cost, deep down you'll always have the question, 'Is there more to life than this?'"

It's something to contemplate with the open mind.
