you come home and quickly stash your 3rd newly purchased SUP in a 16 month period in the dark and dingy basement where your wife never goes.  of course she is wrapped nicely in a board bag so not to get any dings or cobb webbs on her.  the board not the wife  ;D

See the movie Flight if you want to get down with the full concept of addiction.  Entertaining as well but you may not want to jump on a plane again.

In the random area, the political threads discuss deficient spending and national debt.  My path to avoiding personal debt is to avoid restaurants, realize I don't need a big screen TV (but I do have a 27" Mac) and realizing that snowboard trips result in, yes you guessed it, less SUBs.  My addiction is full blown.

if i walk into a room and any of you Zoners are sitting around with somber looks on your face, im turning around and leaving the room!
Not only is Denial the first sign but its also IMHO a very suppable water way!

You are trolling the Zone at counsel table on your iPhone to de-stress while waiting for the judge to take the bench... and get pissed when he or she comes out in the middle of your post... and you have to choose... finish your post, or deal with the judge.
