^^You are absolutely right. It certainly would be unsustainable if I didn't have a balance in my life. Thankfully I do. I didn't mention the other parts of my routine, where I make art and have work in art shows, practice vippasana buddhism, take week-long silent meditation retreats, chill in the forest, surf, etc.
The balance of being driven and keeping it slow and quiet has helped keep me 100% sober for the last 363 days. I appreciate the tip, tho.
ooh, almost forgot: blackberry, raspberry, banana fruit salad, with an english muffin toasted with honey.
