Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6049384, member: 430261"] Anything can become addictive, it all depends on your own personality, if you like something so much you need more and more of it then you are addicted to it. Alcohol, Drugs, Cigarettes, even Sex, can become addictive, the important thing is to realise that your are becoming addicted to something, and stop it, before it hurts you or the people around you. If it does not harm you or the people around you, what is the problem? I used to drink heavily, but stopped before it became a problem, now I enjoy a couple of beers occasionally, but never to the point where I am legless and suffer blackouts, which sometimes used to happen. Poker is a game, and like any other game can become an obsession but if you can limit yourself to playing for free, where is the harm? When the fun Stops, STOP! (I do regularly) [/QUOTE]
