Hi, my name is JC and Iām 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 ā 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 ā 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
