As I’m cutting down alcohol I’ve dabbled with super hot foods from time to time :).

Interesting. I guess if you’re a person who needs those hits of endorphins/dopamine/adrenaline/what have you, it seems like a good outlet. 😁
As for me, I like it more zen, you could say.😌🧘♂️
Sports, exercise, and video games give me enough highs, I think.
I needed fewer jolts, so to speak, before kids. My time and my available vices are slowly leaking away, so we get creative!
Very relatable. Had to probably cut at least half of my hobbies after kids.
