Hi, my name is JC and I’m a boltaholic.
My enabling friends made me aware of this problem recently.
In my defense, I usually only bolt on the weekends and then only socially with friends.
I have never bolted alone, although some of my friends do.
When I do bolt, I try to keep it casual – more stress only leads to more bolting.

So far I have only bolted from stance, which tends to keep the number of bolts I place to a minimum.
I can stop any time – although lately when I do, I usually find myself rebolting.
Bolting can cause us to behave in an unusual manner

And it can produce strong yearnings for the next bolt

It can make us feel initially relaxed and then put us in pain

It can make us behave like contortionists

But the rewards are indescribable

Give tours, showing people your new routes may lead to moderation. :)
Oh, and if you space them puppies out, that slows everything to a crawl.
I have faith in you. You can do granite and cracks. I know you can! Stay strong!

I am so happy you took our intervention yesterday to heart and admitted that you are an addict. No need to check yourself into treatment. I am confident we can manage your addiction through correct dosage and moderation with the occasional binge. :aureola:
BTW nice zoom in on Clink! Classic!

Heh, I've only just started to talk about getting into drilling and my wife and friends have already begun to give each other "we need to have an intervention" looks when I bring it up.

And so it begins :)

If I do not admit to having a problem then I do not have one. ; )
When I bolt alone, I prefer to be by myself.

Yep - the first step is admitting you've got a problem.
I appreciate how Thoroughly you know yourself :)
