Replying to NS I have a problem..I think I'm addicted

Ian_Fitz:
Almost two years ago it happened I'll always remember that day no matter what. It was cold and dark..... I rode through the park and went off the lip of a rail... It was so great of a feeling! Ever since then when ever I can I have been skiing park... I learned so much in the park and went from being a gapper to an ok park skier. It didn't stop there... I spent all my time thinking about skiing when I wasn't skiing... From drawing skiers in class to going into my backyard and making weird contraptions such as drop ins and rails. I then started going on websites and apps and communicating with other people who have the same addiction. But that didn't help... It made it worse.... I began making edits/ obsessing over when a certain season would come. I began treating the weather man like a god hoping it would snow a lot. I spent all my money on cloths and I occasionally would have to shell out 300$ for new skis. After a while of thinking and after taking a break from it I realized skiing is an addiction ....if I wanted to stop skiing I couldn't.........I love skiing so much it's crazy how you can enjoy something this much....skiing is an addiction but it's also a blessing, a passion, and a way to enjoy life to the fullest.
