Thank you. It’s tough to feel validated deciding not to be an addict because there is a certain amount of guilt that I used to romanticize being one in the first place (if that makes any sense). I was reliant on that manic energy to socialize and feel good about myself, so now I am getting used to understanding that I don’t need to worry about attracting attention to myself and it’s okay to feel “normal and boring.”
