Addiction Or Hobby

[tiggerblue10]

I've developed an addiction to Lego which started when Little Tiggs was bought a Lego City box set for his 4th birthday and I built it.

We now have nearly all the City collections which I've had to get in extra shelving for but I can't stop looking for more Lego stuff on Amazon to get and its not cheap!!

I think one of the reasons I love Lego is that I find the construction side of it very therapeutic and stress relieving.

Would this be an addiction or a hobby? Anyone else have an addictive hobby that is getting out of control?

Same here NoM, I'd rather create something than play with the boring Cindy doll I had. Maybe things would've been different if I had a Barbie doll, haha ;o)

Er, why do think I've posted nearly 60,000 answers on this site? AB is the most addictive hobby of all!

I get twitchy if deprived of access to my weekly Listener Crossword fix - I've even paid to get through Mr Murdoch's paywall ... which I think means it's an addiction :(

Haha, love those slippers!

My addictions are mostly of the food variety - popcorn, sweet or salty or both!

Hobby and addiction aren't mutually exclusive.
Nice to have an interest.

I agree, it's great to have an interest. Bit costly but I enjoy it so all good.

Haha a Lego addiction... I think that it sounds like you are really enjoying it. I'd say that's no bad thing. I've been playing roulette recently at OJO and this is as a hobby too. I think unless you NEED to do something then it's not an addictive trait. Life is short, be happy!!
