Nobody wants to be “sold” anything. So many products & companies that so many of us have dumped money into only for it to not work. Those are a couple of reasons why I said no for almost 11 months.  I was having one of the worst days.. all 8 kids were acting possessed by demons, my house looked like a category 27 hurricane, I had been decorating ALL day for a Halloween party for the kids after school, and also babysitting my 6 month old nephew (who you have to hold the entire time).

All my stress, all my anxiety, it all just melted away. Nothing mattered, I didn’t care about anything, it had flipped a switch in my brain I didn’t even know I had. It gave me so much power (or so I thought). It all starts off innocently enough, and the next thing you know it goes from recreationally to a daily need and want, then a necessity just to get through your days. Something dark insid ..read more
