I've known for awhile that I have a problem. I want to crochet all the time. I sneak yarn and a hook along with me most anywhere I go.
Sure, it began as social crocheting. I'd visit with others while crocheting. I'd appropriately crochet on a cold winter night. Then, I started crocheting alone. I've crocheted in secret. When I'm not crocheting, I often find myself wondering when my next stitch will be. I no longer crochet only at traditional times. I even crochet in the Summer! It has reached the point where I actually found myself crocheting at the beach!
Recently, though, I found a new way to support my addiction. It was really quite clever, I thought. When Mike and I were returning from out of town one night, it got too dark for me to crochet. I wasn't ready to stop. What to do? What to do? THEN, I thought of my new Acer Iconia Tablet. It lights up! I turned it on and set up as though I was going to write a fresh new document so that I could get to a bright, white screen. Then...
Yes, I did. I crocheted by the light of my tablet. It wasn't the most satisfying crocheting experience, but it supported my addiction enough for the moment.
Sadly, I can't be helped until I am ready to be helped... so don't even try.
footnote: I hope that I've not offended anyone with my silliness. I do realize alcoholism is a serious problem and I have a high regard for Alcoholics Anonymous.

Great Addiction.
Haha, I love it! I am an addict also, but don't often crochet in summer, and I highly doubt I would ever have thought to crochet by tablet...hilarious!! :o)
Steven whizzes me past the yarn isle, when we go shopping. If I tell him I need to get some, he says "REALLY?!" Oh, come to think of it, I think crocheting to help others, after I "retired" was your idea! :0)
Shall we host an intervention?
Thanks! Someone told me that I could get a flashlight app for my tablet. That may be better yet!
Steven just doesn't understand. We ALWAYS need yarn, maybe a different color or texture than what we already have.
At least it is an addiction that leaves me with something to show for it.
Maria, I am pretty certain you are not qualified to host an intervention since you are one of us.
Thanks, Susie, for starting my day out with a chuckle!
Awesome! I too am a crochetaholic and loving it!
Mission accomplished!
I'm so glad to know I am not alone!
