10:33 My journey began August 12th last year. I was completely consumed by everything affecting young people today. One by one I had to eliminate these parasites that kept me chained in an endless loop of consumption for eight years. It wasn't until December that I managed to get off most of them. I felt great for the first time in years while being productive. I had great days, and bad days but I rest assured that I'm investing in something positive. The hardest thing was the uncertainty of sobriety when you're just starting. The "I'll start tomorrow" phrase/choice just stinks. Recently I've relapsed and have been binging two things simultaneously for "dopamine stacking". I'm not proud of it, but it happens when you're in recovery. The most important thing I recognized is that I can't consume with regulation/balance.
