I quit smoking cigarettes 10 years ago and social media 5 years ago.

Once you are addicted you forget how good life is without. You don't notice how much of your behavior has changed to accommodate your addiction until you quit.

I have no doubt people in the future will look at this time as the equivalent of the insanity of my grandfather becoming a cigarette smoker at 13 in the 1930s. "He is just mature for his age, what is the big deal?"
