JAM said:I borrowed the 10 warning questions for alcohol addiction and substituted the words "pool" for alcohol.
What are ten warning signs of addiction to pool? Here are addiction signs listed (in no particular order):
1. Play pool alone.
2. Making excuses, finding excuses to play pool.
3. Daily or frequent pool playing, needed to function.
4. Inability to reduce or stop playing pool.
5. Violent episodes associated with playing pool.
6. Playing pool secretly.
7. Becoming angry when confronted about playing pool.
8. Think about playing pool when at work.
9. Problems with family and/or loved ones because of playing pool.
10. Trembling in the morning.
If you answer three or more, you are addicted to pool.
Now let me substitute the word "posting" for "pool."
1. Post on forums alone.
2. Making excuses, finding excuses to post on the forum.
3. Daily or frequent forum posting, needed to function.
4. Inability to reduce or stop posting on the forum.
5. Violent episodes associated with posting on the forum.
6. Posting on the forum secretly.
7. Becoming angry when confronted about posting on the forum.
8. Thinking about posting on the forum when at work.
9. Problems with family and/or loved ones because of posting.
10. Trembling in the morning.
I passed the first pool addiction test with flying colors. I'm not addicted to pool. That's the good news.

my brother just informed me he was allowed to put his pool table in the living room in their new house rather than wait for the family room to be refinished. He also got permission to buy a cue from me for a $1000.00 only if he agreed to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Ballroom dance classes see the extent that pool players will whore themselves to feed thier addiction. It's just criminal that people take advantage of us addicts to get things like dance classes. sheesh.

My wife just told me I am still in the denial stage
If one of the 12 steps in PA is repaying those you have hurt financially, does that mean I gotta pay back all the money I hustled for all those years? How about if I play them some one-pocket for the dough I previously won off them...does that work? No? OK, let's see, if I leave now, I can get to Trick Shots for the early bird special.......hey, gave it my best shot.
