Step One: Admitting We Are Powerless
My friend/coworker and I used to play Trivia Whiz a couple times a week in the bar below our place of employment. At first it was just something to do over lunch. Then, one day, we got the high score. We named our team Turd and thought it funny that Turd had the high score. A couple days later our high score had been beaten. Suddenly it became an obsession with us to keep the Turd afloat, so to speak.
We started out small, a buck here, a buck there. But it wasn't long before we were dropping five bucks a pop to maintain our high. We left the competition behind and began to compete with our own high scores. No matter how high we scored it wasn't high enough. We told ourselves we'd quit once we broke 100 million. 100 million came and went and still we played. Now, Turd dominates the scoreboard with no score less than 100 million. But, at what price?
Some 400 games, $133.00+, several jobs, and a couple marriages later we have finally hit our bottom and admitted that we are powerless over... Ooh look, there's a dollar in my jacket pocket. *yoink*
See ya! Turd rules!
