Grats YKM, on being one of the few to jump into that world and make it out the other side.
I'm on a slippery slope right now, but when I first jumped in it was a solid two years with no breaks. In the last five years though, I would say I have been living the clean life most of that time. I just can't demonize it like others do, I absolutely love it. I also understand and recognize that it seriously screws with my motivation for other meaningful life adventures, hence the need for lots of breaks in the last five years.
With summer here, and kayaking to do, I'm starting to attempt to slow down again. Unfortunately I found this site and I'm itching to try out a few things I've never got my hands on before. After that though, it's time to get back on the grind and get back to finding my river god /default_smile.png
