Default How Do You Know If You're Addicted?

bowhunting can be an addictive, almost obsessive sport. you may ask, how do i know if i'm addicted? well, just ask yourself these questions:

how often do you go bowhunting?

do you have frequent urges to go?

do you wake up at night feeling the need to go?

does your bowhunting take priority over future commitments at work, with friends, or in extreme cases, your wedding day?

do you watch tv from a ladder stand propped up in your living room?

have you ever found yourself in your backyard at 3 a.m. shooting your 3d target under the floodlights in only your camo boxers?

if you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you are addicted. the good news is there is no cure! sorry yall i know that was stupid but hey i'm bored.

Belive me, Addictions are not fun at all. The definition of an addiction is anything thing or activity that negativly affects another part of your life. Addiction is hard to fight but its worth it in the end, trust me. But bowhunting isnt really a harmful activity so you really technically cant be addicted. You however can be obsessed. I know thisthread is all about jokes so Ill try and add one.

You know your addicted to Bowhunting when...

you spend more money on hunting supplies then food in a year.

You spend the last waking hour of the day thinking of reasons not to go to work tomorrow!

When you find yourself posting on HuntingNet at 12:30 in the morning.

When you decide on when to take vacationfrom work and hunting is the #1.

When your wife says, and I'm paraphrasing "you've got problems, all you think about is bowhunting, you need medication, your priorities are screwed up, wha wha....wha wha wha wha". I think I blacked out half way through the lecture.
Needless to say....My name is Brian and I'm an addict.
