I'm guilty.

Dufftrix: "What about that one time all of yall came over and threw me a party and took all my transformers?"

Friend: "That wasn't a party that was an intervention"

I get them when I see a new one I really want. For instance, I nearly passed out when I finally found Hound.

 

Man, that was a rush. . .

i'm not addicted anymore

- Substance used to relieve or avoid stress

 

got that

 

- Considerable time spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance, using the substance, or recovering from its effects.

 

that too

 

- Important activites or obligations are reduced or unmet due to the substance use.

 

sort of

 

oh hell in adicted

I am very addicted to Transformers. I buy and buy until i die.

me adicted (YOU are addicted even more if you post on a transformers web board)

- Substance taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than originally intended.

 

Does 20 years constitute a long time? And I guess it is intended for use til your teens.

 

- Substance used to relieve or avoid stress

 

Oh yeah! Big Time!

 

- One or more unsuccessful attempts to cut down or to control substance abuse or a persistant desire to do so.

 

I managed to quit for a few years (Machine Wars/G2 - Beast Machines)

 

- Considerable time spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance, using the substance, or recovering from its effects.

 

8 hours + a day for that blessed spending cash.

 

- Symptoms of intoxication or withdrawal occur when expected to fulfil major obligations at work, school or home.

 

Sometimes when I am planning to go TF shopping after work, I can't keep my mind on my job.

 

- Important activites or obligations are reduced or unmet due to the substance use.

 

Yup!

 

- Continued use despite knowledge that a persistant or recurrent social, psychological or physical problem is related to use of the substance.

 

What social or psychological effects can there be from playing with Transformers alot?

 

- Marked tolerance with increased amount of the substance (at least 50%) to achieve intoxication or a desired effect: markedly diminished effect with use of the same amount of substance.

 

I can't buy just one, and when they have no new ones I sometimes buy ones I already have.

 

- Characteristic withdrawal symptoms.

 

Am going through withdrawal right now for my just purchased Wednesday Alt Tracks, Dead End and Meister.
