		<description>I would never label you an addict, but since you've identified yourself that way, I value you too much to argue with your opinions.

So.  Knowing what we know about dopamine, how do you think it's been working in your head lately - like right before you started playing again, once you started playing, and during the time since when you had to work?

What does it feel like being Neils this week?  How does your body feel?  What's happening with your emotions over the course of the day/days?  How are you perceiving the world, perceiving yourself?

There are likely different parts of you (various layers of thoughts/feelings) telling you conflicting things right now.  I'd love to hear more about it.

I'm curious.</description>

		<description>I've got my therapist, my girlfriend, and at least one friend on this thread... It's like an episode of Jerry Springer.

Just need "gf" to run out at me with a blackjack... Or some pickles...

		<description>Nice! The best part is bench press sickness, now you are working out. Push it baby! Remember what the Hakagure has to say...

"It is not good to settle into a set of opinions. It is a mistake to put forth effort and obtain some understanding and then stop at that. At first putting forth great effort to be sure that you have grasped the basics, then practicing so that they may come to fruition is something that will never stop for your whole lifetime. Do not rely on following the degree of understanding that you have discovered, but simply think, "This is not enough." One should search throughout his whole life how best to follow the Way. And he should study, setting his mind to work without putting things off. Within this is the Way."
