Addicted....the only unhealthy part is when my wife finds out how much I have spent during my weekend hunts or online orders

There is a lot of product in this line and it can feel overwhelming at times, especially if your a new collector I agree. When you see sales though or that super good auction that is the best time to buy even if you spend a bit more than you wanted. Thats what Ive found.

I'm a recovering alcoholic - shortly after I stopped using alcohol I began collecting figures again.....
I believe some people (including me) have addictive personalities - we just can't stop giving ourselves something that we really like... to a point that it sometimes becomes unhealthy. When I realized I could no longer give myself alcohol (as much as I enjoyed it) I needed to feed my brain synapses something else..... and that became wrestling toys & memorabilia, as well as trips to live events, etc.
I think diving into my wrestling hobby isn't nearly as destructive or troublesome as my drinking was.... and my wife agrees.
I guess I have a little extra money in my pocket since I'm not buying booze every other day, too..... WWE has made quite a profit on my sobriety.
Been sober for just over 20 months..... bought my latest wrestling figure on Friday.....

Good for you, happy you found another path which keeps you in good health and much less bothersome to the family.
