My god, man. You are un fucking stoppable. Holy shit. I am in awe.

That's really kind of you to say :)

Yes, sobering. And the fact that you've been off it for a year speaks volumes for your courage and self-control. Dam admirable imo.

Yeeaaah, the awakening feelings .... been there and done that. Not fun. But the worst does pass with the passage of time.
