Another addict!

Hey all!  Greetings from Florida!

My user name says it all.  Sherlock is my fix.  I just can't fight it anymore.  I have given in to the endorphins and indulge at every opportunity.

I have to confess that in the past I was not entirely respectful of the whole fan thing, Beatlemania, Trekkies, and so on.  But now I understand.  Or, actually, I don't understand.  I don't understand how this show has infiltrated my every moment.  It wasn't a conscious choice, and I don't seem to be able to leave it alone.

I am an older person in a responsible, professional position, and I feel like I have to sneak around.  My husband probably thinks I'm having an affair.  Friends and family would be highly derisive if they knew how involved my dependency is.  When I have tried to bring them on board, I get blank or puzzled looks, so I've learned to shut up. But I have so much to say, and so many questions! What a relief to find this site!

Thanks, all of you, for being here for me.

Hi and welcome, you have found the right place. May I recommend our self-help group for abandoned husbands?

Oh yes, my hubby certainly needs it too.

Welcome and have lots of fun in this community.

Re: Another addict!

Thanks, you guys.  Just being on here makes me feel so much better.  I feel hugged!

BTW, my hubbie doesn't know about my addiction.  I've been more or less successful in watching and researching when he's not around or outside of the house (I LOVE my ipad for this reason - easily portable addiction enabler.) But at other times, I've quickly switched to Facebook when he walks into the room. He really would not understand, and I would never hear the end of it.

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.
