................. I don't know...

I'm thinking of starting a support group... You know, for you guys who seem to be addicted to the brand..

I probably have issues too.

I have other watches.. Some of them cost as much or more than a Rolex.. But still, after a few days, I go back.. and I like it.

It feels good, I feel confident, and I feel comfortable with a Rolex strapped on my wrist.. Something about it - power, status, serenity - I can't quite put my finger on it, but I can't keep away..

I haven't figured out any rules or anything yet.. I wouldn't want it to mimic somebody else's addiction regimen.. I mean, it's not like you need a multi step plan of interdiction of some sort..

As a matter of fact, I'm not so sure that this particular addiction is actually something that needs to be stopped cold-turkey or any other way.. or even tapered off from slowly..

There isn't any patch to put on; no messy spoons or needles or anything quite so scary.. It just takes some plastic, a pen, or a handful of Benjamin's... common items that everybody can get their hands on..

Now that I think about it, I'm not so sure that there really is a problem here..

............. so, if I can't even come to terms with that concept, maybe I'm not really ready to start any kind of support group at all. Most of us couldn't afford to be in such a group for very long...

Count me in... I'm addicted!

God grant me the serenity.....

htc8p · 2 October 2010, 05:35 PM

honestly it is a sickness that i have to get out of my system.

it can also affect my not only mentally but physically

so there...there must be something available to help ease this addiction

Take a GMT IIc and a YM and go to bed with a hot drink.
If you still feel the same in the morning, take a Daytona, that should do the trick.

EE33 · 2 October 2010, 06:08 PM

I think Dalip would make a good President of the group

Joey_V · 2 October 2010, 06:09 PM

We should have our own little sig pic...

Singslinger · 2 October 2010, 07:00 PM

I'm sure that the So called meeting will end up being a big GTG with alot of wristshots and even another lucky winner of a Rolex watch

InVision · 2 October 2010, 09:44 PM

Larry, I know I should join but, can we have meeting on line or phone call in. I just don't have any meeting time until I retire in 2 years. Thanks for the consideration, Sincerely, Mike

Shade · 2 October 2010, 11:43 PM

I think the support group idea is great! But I think it'll last 24 hours tops and then we'll be supporting each other to get new additions and we'll have a completely different group hahaha..

Sixxgrand1 · 3 October 2010, 12:02 AM

...and I thought that I was the only one addicted to peeling off all of those little sticker protectors....

AndersB · 3 October 2010, 12:05 AM
