Many a mention has been made of this hobby being an addiction. Just curious how many here feel that they are actually addicted.
To me, being addicted would mean that you repeatedly engage in a particular activity in spite of knowing that continuing to do so will lead to personal ruin. In this hobby, it could mean that you are endangering your family life, personal relationship(s), your work, your health or heading down the path to financial insolvency.
Others may have different definitions of addiction (I'm no expert) or other parameters of their lives that are in danger, but the bottom line is that you are aware that you may be f**king up your life, but you can't stop.
It would also be interesting to hear the reason(s) why you feel you are or are not addicted.
I haven't searched, but don't recall seeing this question asked before. If it has, my apologies.
