you make an excellent point Cynlite - the will to live is just so powerful. At the depth of my despair some six months ago I had numerous health issues - back pain, neck pain, I have and continue to suffer from something called benign fasciculation syndrome, all of which culminated in a strong desire to end my life.

I was taking Class 2 opoids 18 hours a day, eating nothing and not interacting with anybody outside my immediate family. Only a strong faith in God and the impact it would have on my three young children and wife prevented me from taking the plunge.

My outlook has improved markedly and my will to live is stronger than ever. I take no opoids and eat almost exclusively a plant based diet. The body has fed the mind and in turn the mind is helping my body heal itself - the two are intertwined
