One can be an addicted gambling winner.

Do you see why?.

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

If you are aware enough to know that you're addicted, you're not addicted enough. GA is for quitters.

I am starting a new 12-step program, TOEHTWIAOA Anonymous.

It is called Terrified Of Ever Having To Work In An Office Again Anonymous.

I am addicted to never hearing anyone say "I can't make it to work today because..." ever again.

I may be addicted to poker, but not to gambling as a whole. I find casino games to be really boring. Tho sometimes $.05 slots do get the better of me [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

I only play because I needed something to do while the wife played the slots, internet poker is just practice... (denial stage?)

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

True enough. I have become addicted to my monthly cash withdraws. I love party and interpoker sooo much. I dont know if I can live without them.

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

I don't ever play -EV games, which includes all casino games, state lotteries etc. No edge, no play.

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

My mom asked me if I was addicted to gambling last week.
I asked her if she was addicted to being a doctor.
I think she got the point [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

Not me. For me, and addiction is something I have to do each day. I can easily do without poker for a day, a week, or whatever - and I do. The only things I am really addicted to are:

1) Breathing
2) water
3) some amount of food (but I can fast for several days if necessary)
4) American Idol (acutally Simon's comments - I skip forward past the singing part)

I like playing cards. I need extra income. There's nothing to do after 10:00 except watch TV. I actually don't get off on the thrill of gambling. I play low stakes while bonus whoring where the risk is very low and income very predictable. I'm actually a little sick of the poker grind and frequently have to talk myself into playing enough poker to clear all the bonuses. I think when you're addicted to somehting it works the other way around.

If I'm addicted to anything it's internet messageboards. I rationalize that it is better than watching TV but I read too many stupid threads like this one for that to possibly be true. Before this messageboard I was a multi-1000 poster at another site (that had nothing to do with poker). I literally have to tear myself away from these infernal boars sometimes. I miss them when I'm on vacation. I need help. Is there a MB Anonymous?

I consider myself a workaholic rather than an addict. I was the same way at my pre-poker jobs

Yeah, I bet there are some real fish at a Gambler's Anonymous meeting...

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

Heh. Good one. You know why every other guy goes to sexaholics meetings, don't you?

Re: be honest-were all just a bunch of addicted gamblers.
 

Would it be ethically wrong to go to one of these meetings and give out my referal code? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Congrats, you are the dumbass of the day!
