"Give up defining yourself — to yourself and others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem."

First trip to MD without the internet. It’s interesting. I usually use the internet as some kind of identity lifeline while I’m here but the weird part is that it’s actually easier to stay grounded without it. Since it was an addiction it was a way I used often to escape the effects of something unpleasant, often feelings in myself, which occur all the time. So it is new territory to be here and not be online.

Technophobe: I’m not a technophobe. I’m an addictionphobe. If it’s addictive it’s suspect. If it’s addictive it can be used to control. If it’s addictive it’s very likely at some point the addictive substance or thing will take control of the relationship without my knowing it.
