I'm a perfect example of this unfortunately.

Poker is a sick game. If I could travel back to the past, I would have never started playing. I've seen the worst of me and it's not just at the tables anymore, but carries into my family and social life. I'm becoming more anti-social as the days go by (not that I was a social butterfly to begin with.) It's getting pretty bad and I know the cause of the problem, but can't fix it because I'm addicted to this wretched game. Damn it all to hell really. I used to be a go-happy type of guy, but poker has completely flipped that part of me upside down.
