Why do I crave self-medication? Why do I feel the need; and how do I put an end to that desire/misconception? It is ultimately detrimental to my end goal to allow this to continue, so I will begin extensively researching the possible causes of my symptoms and discover how to permanently resolve them, because if I don't, their development will be the death of me. No matter how bad things get, I won't give up, and I promise myself now to continuously strive to remember my spiritual path all the while. I will not give up, and I will not succumb; I will stop at nothing to find my answers, and hopefully affirm breakthrough routines I read about or synthesize my own. Now I take my life into my own hands and choose to live. This is my journey, and it is also for the collective benefit of the scientific community. I'll contribute the whole of my intellect and will and welcome suggestions, since this is not my struggle alone.
And so it begins...
