I imagine you saw a bit of a dopamine spike when that message came in. Was it enough to mitigate the physical symptoms at all, or was that purely mental, I wonder?

Genuinely mitigated the runny nose, aches and pains in my back, etc.

I wish I could trick my stupid brain like that. (not saying that your brain is somehow easier to trick than mine or whatever. My brain is just stupidly stubborn when it comes to feeling pain)

I'm really very deeply glad you kicked that habit and killed the dragon. This internet stranger is rooting for you :)

It's mental either way.
