100% agree. I happened to do this this morning as I was dealing internally with another, somewhat similar, sort of addiction.

Earlier in my life, I was addicted because I was fearful/anxious/traumatized. It was a (shitty, yet effective) escape.

Now that my life has been stable for a few years the addiction came back up. I wondered why, and I realized it was because I was bored. It made things more challenging (which was a motivation to quit I thought), but it turns out the challenges introduced by this addiction actually make my mundane day-to-day more stimulating.

Sure is hard to code stoned huh?
