Confessions of an Addict

Well here goes, I can’t hide it anymore, I have a confession to make. I have become an addict; that’s right an addict. They say the first step to recovery is confession and admittance that one is an addict. I have become an addict to playing solitaire on my iPhone. That’s right, shame of all shame, I am addicted to an electronic game.

Now you must understand that I have never once played a video game. I knew nothing of electronic games until that fateful day I bought my iPhone (curse you Steve Jobs). I was told to download some games for my amusement when I had time to kill. So I said, “Ok” and I downloaded “Solitaire.” First it was just a game here and there but before I knew it I was playing more and more. Oh the shame, the humiliation, over and over, it just never stops! Of course you know what comes next; the hard stuff. First Solitaire, and now Scrabble; that’s right Scrabble! What is next, Yatzee?

So in my desperation I’ve decided to go cold turkey, no rehab, no 12-step program, nothing but willpower. I will beat this monkey on my back. I will no longer be a slave to my impulses.

I feel better already, I feel refreshed and renewed. Well there it is, the musings and ramblings of a former game addict.
