    Hi, my name's Steve, and I have a problem...

    I believe that I have a DVD addiction problem. Since getting my DVD player a week or so back, I have to force myself not to go into places like HMV and virgin as I almost always end up buying a film! I can't afford this! help me!!!

    ------------------
    Cheers,
    Steve

    the self acceptance that there is a problem is a positive first step!
    have you thought about renting dvds instead of buying?? alternatively,try getting out more & socialising!!

        Believe me, my girlfriend is not impressed at my impulse buying.... the TV and DVD player I watch the films on were impulse buys.....

        PS: I also have nights out (I only see my g/f at the weekends - she's at college during the week) and I spend too much at the weekends too!

        This is my stupid student loan... I'm spending it on luxuries...

        I'm doing an Ian Beale! (sorry, just watched eastenders!)

          Tried going through the www.dvdaddiction.co.jp lately?

          Ofcourse, there's always the (in)voluntary girlfriend to help you out. That is, if she isn't into XXX movies

                  Ah a student I remember those days £36.00 quid for the first round at the end of term and that was ten years ago.
                  Priming yourself at the union bar for the most boring lecture of the year then getting merry and thinking ballcocks to it and then going on a 12hr binge instead.
                  Those were the days.

                    Ah, memories.. I remember spending my student loan on hundreds of vinyl LP records just a couple of years before CDs came out.. Then, when I got my credit cards I went nuts with Laserdiscs. Luckily I also spent money on really expensive equipment to play these things on. Shoulda saved that cash and bought stock in Oracle and Microsoft or something. Now that I AM in the stock market, it goes bearish for the first time in a decade. Does my timing suck or what?

                          Steve: Jord is right, perhaps your g/f could make some movies to finance your addiction?

                          Any takers?

                            DVD addiction a problem? It could have been a lot worse than that. (ie crackw|-|ore or something). Consider yourself lucky.
                            Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.
