Addictions

"Catch a game when you know your at GSN"... those lyrics have been on repeat mode in my brain the past few days. First step to recovery: Admitting a problem... Hi my name is Tina, and im a GSNaholic. Thats right, im completely and utterly addicted to Game Show Network. When I was younger.. a lot younger, my Great-Grandpa and I would watch game shows all the time.. I found the GSN channel a while ago but never was as addicted as I am now. Family Fued, Card Sharks, Lingo, Chain Reaction, Password Plus, Pyramid and best of all Lets Make a Deal.. they get my every time. I catch myself telling danny.. "This is the last show.. just let me finish the 30 minuets..I promise" but then another amazing show comes on. I have a problem. Im like the 90yr old caught in the 20yr old body. I seriously believe that this is the one thing that brings me closer to my Papaw. He passed away a few years ago and I know he would want me to watch these shows for him... although im pretty sure in heaven hes playing them instead of watching them on a 15'' mini screen with a fuzzy cable connection!! The addiction developed a while ago im sure started taking a toll on my life a few days. I came back from San Jose and Danny came home with me.. not knowing that I have had the GSN channel here I FLIPPED out when I walked into the room and found him watching Lingo.. thats when the problems surfaced.

We all have addictions, we only know that word as a bad thing that taken over our lives: alcohol, drugs, gambling but there are millions more that can bring joy to your life. The difference is.. when people don't want to be around you or associate with you, thats when your addiction had become a problem..I feel that yes my few addictions may be annoying at times because I do become a little obsessive over them, but that is who I am.

gotta go... Bingo America calls :)
