darkw0rker, I think if you take a look at the life you've been carving out, you'll see that what you have eliminated - social, sexual, intellectual - was precisely because you found none of it to be extraordinary. I would call the stage where you are a huge success. And that's not trying to sugar-coat anything.
You've taken away everything that you didn't find extraordinary and have gotten it out of your active life. Now you're stripped down to the bare essentials and can begin building. And you now have the benefit of not being dragged down by the ordinary.
Honestly, I think it takes a huge amount of balls to do what you've done. Most people would just stay asleep and satisfied with the status quo - with the "ordinary."
You're life is already "extra -- ordinary."
To continue on your extraordinary journey, I would highly suggest you also drop other aspects of the ordinary that ordinary people often use - but you will find to be of absolutely no use to you:
Self loathing
Pity parties
Gossip
Envy
Jealousy
Pride
My 2¢.
