My husband doesn't commit to many things, and usually if he does it is short-lived. It takes 7 times of doing something to form a habit. Problem is, how do you know when a habit crosses over to obsession? I think we're there. I'm not sure if there is medical treatment available for GO (golf obsession), and I am not hopeful that an intervention would be well received. This disease has taken over my television. It's not that I want to watch a different program - but I am sucked in to knowing golf information that I don't care to know. At all. Pop culture, golf culture. The golf channel forces me to endure old men with bad hair and ugly ties talk about Tiger Woods' legacy, how he uses metal spiked shoes, and how you can actually see on the ground where he has walked because of the holes his metal spikes make. One commentator even remarked of how he placed his foot in the steps, and he walked Tiger's walk. He took the same steps that Tiger did on his journey to the 17th hole . . . . blah, blah, blah. You would think Tiger is Jesus. Sick. GO should have a ten step program to recovery. The first step will be admitting the problem. I'll work on the other nine steps and report back. My husband will be my lab rat. Sick.

Hm. My boy has general Sports Obsession. He will watch anything if he thinks it's a sport. "Even poker?" you ask. Yes, because it is on ESPN, he is now convinced that it is a sport. When I catch him watching golf, I always really tease him, and he's embarrassed about it, and quickly changes the channel, but if I sneak up, he'll be watching it again later!
He doesn't even care AT ALL about sports. He doesn't have favorite teams (except KSU), and he doesn't know who the players are or what their stats are. Then why does he have to spend several hours a day watching them?????
Waiting for the cure you come up with,
Tonya
