Hi guys, my name is Lily, I too am an addict, My partner is an addict and an enabler, he keeps leaving reminders on the telly when anything even remotely snow related is on, he checks web cams more often than I do! I blame myself for his addiction tho, I introduced him last year and the greedy monkey has clocked up 5 weeks plus numerous fridge trips already! We are also financially embarressed at this point in time and may have to resort to that well known rip off artist MR MASTERCARD to finance our next fix.

Just ask yourself some questions ........

1. Have you ever decided to stop obsessing about skiing, stop visiting j2ski, viewing webcams, cuddling skis, boots etc for a week or so and only lasted a couple of hours?
2. Do you wish friends, partners, colleagues and casual acquaintances would mind their own business about your skiing or boarding?
3. Have you looked at a webcam today? Even though you won't be skiing until next year?
4. Has you skiing caused trouble at home, work or in your [sic] social life?
5. Have you tried to get in that extra week or weekend because you just do not get enough?
6. Do you tell yourself you can STOP anytime?
7. Have you missed days off work because of skiing?
8. Do you think about skiing when you should be working, paying attention to partner, children, the dog?
9. Does your credit card cringe when the ski holiday websites are visited?

If you answered yes (honestly!!) to 4 or more then ..........
Maybe you ...........

Hi

My Name's Icy and it looks like I'm an addict

1. I disappeared from J2ski after my holiday as my skiing for the year was over. I then gave in, it was too much to think that I was missing out
2. Yes, all of them. Just let me get on with it. But when I do tell you, please at least pretend to be interested and smile in the right places
3.NO :D
3a. But now I want to :evil:
4. NO. I am lucky that I just tell people that I am going - at home there is only the dog and she is not fussed :)
4a. However my addiction is rubbing off on those who feed their addiction too and it affects their life
5. YES and failed miserably :cry:
6. YES....but I know that deep down I cant. My life would end, what would replace it :roll:
7. Apart from the 5 days i am off? ;)
8.Yes, ALL of the time - no matter where I am or what I am doing. In fact I did it in a meeting today with the chief exec, wondered, "he has loads of money, wonder if he skis...." :roll:
9.Mine constantly sweats. Out of season it knows there will always be "that bargain"

My name is Icy, and I'm an addict
