    • Close Marijuana Addiction & Recovery

      I started smoking weed when I was 15y/o. Quit at 19y/o. Was a mom at 24 and didn't smoke again until I was around 38 or 40y/o. Started small but has increased over the years. I'm ready for a change!

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I never in my life thought I would have to deal with pain every day for the last 12 years! Many injuries to my chest and back. At 35 a neurosurgeon told me I had the neck of a 60 yr old! Back then the pain was controllable.
