Default Re: withdrawal from quiting poker?

[ QUOTE ]
Yes, I have on occasion (only in my younger sillier days) tried to quit poker. Poker is pretty much crack. I got very depressed and actually began having anxiety attacks. Now I play poker every day and it's not a problem.

That might be a sign of addiction...

I get serious withdrawls, but for me it isn't about the gambling or anything (I never bet on anything else) it is about the competition. I took up poker cos it was a way for me to channel my competitiveness and love for people (and their money) into a rewarding activity. If you find yourself HAVING to play, you are in trouble. If you WANT to play, you are fine.
