Make sense?
Ya I can understand that. I like the saying/(question) I hear in NA a lot: "Why do I have to change the way I feel?" or "Anything to change the way I feel will do."
In my case the guilt of leaving the sunlight of the spirit eventually outweighed the temporary sensory enhancement of a drug.
On the flipside I also like the "Progress not perfection" quote.
