Congrats man. Good to see you make it here. Get ready for a long ride the next week or so. It sucked, but it's still something I 100% believe that I would not trade in for 45 minutes of dip just so I could lie to myself to make it seem better.
I still have trouble thinking of myself and dipping in terms of an addiction. I hate thinking that this is something that completely controls my life. Even though I could nonchalantly say it, I don't think I ever truly believed it before. I always thought that I could put it down whenever even though when I tried I would get a few hours not days.
