Default in trouble at work.

ok, so i am in trouble at work. for poker related activities (of course). i must say that the summer of poker has gotten me almost addicted (or addicted) depending on what you want to call it. i've had days earlier in the summer when i'd skip work in favor of playing mindlessly online for 12 hours. but the trouble did not come then. i was at work late, after business hours, basically done for the day with working, and i didn't feel ready to drive home yet, so i sat there playing for an hour when a co-worker (more like boss-level but not my boss) caught me.

anyway, i know it's addictive, and i need to stop constantly thinking about poker. detox so to speak. what do i do about the job? it is not really awkward (yet) but i probably need to show them i am trustworthy and professional.

You should quit your job and become a pro. It really seems like you are ready to take the plunge. If you can play poker online for 12 hours a day I can see you easily making $400K the first year of play.

I wish. My favorite gimmick account of all time, and he doesn't overuse it.

we're all addicts here, unless you want to argue that posting on a poker forums, reading 10 books about poker, and using hand history analyzers are not the signs of addiction.
