Man, this was absolutely riveting and completely real. Seriously glad the algorithm worked its wonders and this came my way.

If you've never struggled with addiction yourself then it's hard to understand that it's who we are. We're not just addicted to getting loaded,
we're addicted to everything. When I became addicted to playing music, networking and putting on the best show that I can that's when I
was finally ready to change. When I jammed with my drummer for the first time it gave me a better feeling than using ever did and when you're
using you don't think that anything can or will make you feel as good as that until you experience it for yourself.
