I have heard Sir Richard Branson mention he indulges in a similar gluttony and privation. He binge drinks over a weekend or so, and then goes full dry for a period. Rinse, repeat.

I've dropped out of all social media. Books- you know those paper things with words on them. As far as gluttony goes, sadly the flesh is weak. I've been a pescatarian for a couple of years but my sweet tooth cries out for attention. I have my meditation pillows and Buddhas in the same room that I play my brushes on, and I walk by them to my easel with rare visits yet I miss it.

"Learning to excel at both gluttony and privation is, I believe, an underrated discipline. Moderation is fear of discomfort disguised as a virtue."

The last line is a banger. Definitely something to chew on.
