I am disappointed that this topic isn't actually about Dry Erase Boards.
I have those snaps as well. I could do a whole year, going to gym from monday to saturday. Now I've stopped and it has been 2 months, and I just don't know why. But I know that if I go back I will get addicted again.
I can also smoke like 20 cigarretes per day during 4 days straight, and then I can just stop and stay months and months straight without even remembering abour smoking.
I have no clue whatsoever why the addiction comes easy but goes easy as well.
"How can something consume you, be the thing everything else in your life circles around, the thing that makes you distressed when you have to go without it for a day, but when that day actually comes, you don't really care like you thought you would?"
I'd say that sounds like compensation, when you find the new-found obsession doesn't yield what you're missing, it ceases to be relevant. It's the only way I can make sense out of you gaining and losing obsessions so fast
