There is a fine, maybe even blurry line between a serious hobby and an addiction. Sounds like you were able to extricate yourself from what could have been a bad situation. More power to you! The rest of this is just a rant not directed at your post. I question the percentages that the study came up with just because I don't think you really CAN define what is an addictive level for one person vs. a hard core hobby for another. I play a lot of WoW. Used to do other MMORPG's until I got sick of the game of the moment. It will happen with WoW too. If I'm not doing that with a free evening though, it's probably going to be TV, or a book, or something that others would perceive as equally boring or viewing as a symptom of a "lack of a life". The hilarious thing about those kinds of comments though is that they never come from the people who are spending all their time on "their life" which must be so oh much more fuller than mine. It comes from people who sit around observing what others take the time to post. Then they armchair quarterback the life of the poster based on what? A paragraph? What the heck kind of life is that?
