Good for you! That's a lot of change, though, and can be terribly frightening for a lot of people. You're giving up your source of comfort, plus your backup systems.

This is a terribly interesting discussion. I don't have a good perspective on addiction, as I've never been addicted. I do agree that deep discussions are few and far between, and I'm really liking this. Maybe it's good that they don't happen all the time (how exhausting would *that* be?) but they should happen sometimes.
