Addiction
Contributed by Jan Cheang~
I was reading a short article and found this. It says that if I had answered “yes” to any of this list of questions, then I am considered as an addict. I was thinking about running when answering these questions – and yes, I’m addicted to running! And I believe that almost all of you are too!
The following is the list of questions:
I. Can you hardly wait until you are alone so you can experience the feeling that comes from taking part in the experience?
Sort of, like cant wait to get off work on Mon and Wed evenings ..........
II. Do you find yourself avoiding people because they interfere with your addiction?
Yes! It’s like I dread having dinner invitations on Mon and Wed and Sat nights. I even dread getting invitation to weekend lunches because I rather sleep at home after my long runs. Tsk tsk...becoming very anti-social.
III. Do you find yourself daydreaming about your habit?
Very often... especially now when I have been googling on overseas marathons ever so often!
IV. Do you regularly turn to your habit when you are troubled?
Yes! Nothing beats sweating out on a run after a bad day...or when you have some terrible things to sort out in your mind.
V. Do you feel better able to face life after engaging in your habit?
Quite true...this was why I took up marathon running again in 2003.
VI. Do you get upset if you cannot partake in your habit for a long period of time?
Cant agree more! Will be worrying sick about how fat and unfit I’ve become etc...
VII. Do you prefer to be with other people who do what you do?
Of course lah! See you all 3 times a week and still can spend time picnicing with the same people on a precious Saturday...I see you all more than I see my mom and dad!
