Enjoy the new ride! Few things make for a more joyous cycling occasion than a new bike!
I have no desire to recover; I love my bicycle addiction! For me, upgrading an older bike is more fun than purchasing a new bike! Consequently, I can’t even leave a beater bike in its stock condition, as I enjoy riding it much more once it’s been given a few choice upgrades.

Paranoia on that one, would put it in a bank vault if they let me. My addiction went way overboard when building that bike.
