Besides all the other things mentioned, I will add--I managed to live all of my long and wonderful life without any addictions. I went to the top party school in the USA and never smoked pot or used any other drug. Wouldn't even play cards for fear of wasting useful study or work time. Now, at long last, I am an addict. I can't get through a day without playing my computer game, TETRIS. Anyone else out there afflicted with this addiction?
