Now onto my real post. I have come to the conclusion that I am addicted. I have accepted this and I hear there about 12 steps I need to go through to get rid of my addiction. But I'm not sure that I'm quite ready to give up the beautiful game called spider solitair.

It started out as just an innocent little game that I liked to play occasionally. But as time passed I found myself trying to hide my obsession with the game. I would wait till my roommates were gone and then sneak onto their computers to play the game. I didn't have my own computer at this point in my sad, sad life. When my roommates would come home I would quickly exit out of the game and run to my room to pretend that I wasn't doing anything, especially in their room.

When I got my own computer the addiction only became worse. I stayed up late into the night just so could win another game. I would tell myself that I'd only play till I won a game. hahahaa! What a lie! When I would win I just started another game and told myself the same lie. I was lost in a swirling abyss that is spider solitair.

I have lately come to the realization that I do have an addiction. I admit it. Now I just limit myself to 3 hours a day of spider solitair instead of the regular 6. The only problem now is that as I limit my hours of actual playing I now make up for the lost time by thinking about it. Maybe one day when I can afford professional help I will be able to slowly, but surely rid myself of this needed craving; using medication if necessary.
