@stellabelle, thank you for your perspective. Actually your writing is quite clear and effective, so it's clear from your story that you have come a long way in a short time. You are thinking very noble and active thoughts and it's nice to be reminded to do so. I came here bc I saw another Steemian link to you and am definitely following now.
Also isn't it amazing to go back to things like alcohol or weed later, once you've reached better levels of energy and discipline, and realize how much energy they take out of you?
