For me, it was food. Went from college athlete to morbidly obese. The sensation of eating just hit me different. Every bite was euphoric.
I found my greater addiction in Bitcoin. I have embraced it consuming my thoughts almost every waking moment because it keeps the demons at bay.
I’m nearly back to college level physique. I recognize my younger spirited self again, undoing decades of selling out daily in the pursuit of fiat and social acceptance, turning to food for fleeting pleasure after each exhausting day of masking.
I am fortunate to have rediscovered Bitcoin. It’s a mind virus that rewires the brain and leaves no room for other infectious thoughts. It’s freed me.
And it’s wonderful to recognize myself again, after all these years.
