The best gift you can give yourself and your family is to find some kind of solution. It's always a spiritual solution that helps. I don't care where you find it. Maybe you're Muslim. And hopefully you find it in a recovery program. If I could stand on a rooftop and point, you know that there are more people that have some version of this disease than do not. And, I would challenge every single one of them to do something for themselves and find the peace that we found.
