Ha shockozulu! We must be around the same age. When I stopped the drug abuse, I sat lamenting the loss of my Jupiter 4. ...so I googled 'make synth' ...ended up on a forum elsewhere and got hooked!
I think developing a hobby is really important in the early stages of kicking a habit. Well, it was for me. I'm not an Electrical Engineer or anything. I just solder by numbers! It beats taking drugs. I guess its a healthier obsession. I'm building a TR808 drum machine at the moment, in stages. Those men in the white lab coats at Roland really knew their stuff! Can't beat analogue! Blah blah... going off topic here...
Yes, I don't play Don't You Want Me all that often either. Dare is a great album though! Plenty of great tracks!
EDIT: PS, I guess Phil Oakey is your 'higher power'? haha
