The majority of us admit we are addicted, but I don't think anyone actually is looking to do anything other than feed their addiction

I am not addicted, I can stop anytime I want....

When's the next coop?

It's totally normal.  Put it this way, this addition / hobby is a pretty positive thing.  A lot of people get a lot of enjoyment out of these shows.  They are also a great outlet for the OCD person or person who just needs to stay busy. 

I'm also coaching volleyball, 2 teams ... and assisting a third.  Serving on a board and working a fulltime job.  Again, I like being busy ... this addition is a healthy one, but does hit the bank account.

I tell my wife that this is a lot cheaper than counseling, drugs or alcohol ... and for me, its good to have something you can really get immersed in, take pride in ... and challenge yourself with all year.

I think you came to the wrong place if you were seeking help with stopping  None of us think we are addicted.

Like Chris said: I'll stop when they pry my cold dead fingers off the solder iron!
