Are you "clinically" addicted to Dogfight?

It may not be something that actually enters your bloodstream but could it be considered a "substance" under the following guidelines? You decide;


From medicalnewstoday.com:


How is Addiction Diagnosed?


DSM criteria for substance dependence - a patient diagnosed with substance dependence (an addiction) must meet criteria laid out in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), a manual published by the American Psychiatric Association.
The criteria for drug dependence that causes significant problems must include three of the following:

1. Tolerance - the substance has less effect on the patient because their body has developed tolerance. They need more and more of it to get the same pleasure.

2. There are physical/psychological withdrawal symptoms, or the patient takes the substance to avoid experiencing withdrawal, or the patient takes a similar substance to avoid experiencing withdrawal.

3. The patient frequently takes higher-than-intended doses of the substance.

4. The patient often tries to quit or cut down.

5. More and more time is spent getting hold of the substance, using it, or recovering from its effects.

6. The patient’s drug use causes him/her to give up social, occupational or recreational activities.

7. Even though patients know it causes psychological/physical problems, they continue taking it.

Without a doubt, If there is DogFight, there will be Budd! :lol:
Edit: Honestly though, I'm not exactly sure if I'm "clinically" addicted... As far as I know, the answer is no... But those symptoms seem familiar... :whistle:
Hey DogFight... It's been awhile

The other day I was behind a gravel truck when a couple of small rocks hit the window, ping ping ping, I immediately swerved left into oncoming traffic and my right thumb kept pressing the horn. Because of dogfight I was able to avoid all cars.

My wife was pissed and not talking to me which is great because I can play dogfight in peace and quiet.

No I'm not addicted

I found out that using your therepist's terminology back at him works wonders to be dismissed from rehab.
