I'm a Stoic.
Anyway, getting off all drugs has been great, mostly due to the hedonic treadmill/tolerance.
Similar with video games. Games are fun today, but if I play them for a few weeks, they become work.
I get way more excitement out of achieving a new 3D print design or finishing a coding feature. Not to mention, reading non-fiction is pretty great, mind blowing stuff if you find the right book, as previously mentioned.
I somewhat blame Disney, I get all excited for some hedonism, and they release a crappy starwars episode. I'm more disappointed than if I worked all night.
