Burn the devil out

Do you, or someone you know, struggle with addiction? It's my hope that by offering some insight into my personal challenges it might provide some light at the end of the tunnel.

You see, I'm addicted to scratchies. I relish the feeling post-purchase and pre-scratch when the world is your oyster. You'll sort everyone you know, including your turnip-headed cousins. Sure, on the surface I look like the kind of Executive level player who gets taken out to lunches with the Mayor. And you'd be right but I'm also never far away from scratching my next itch.

Every time I fail to scratch myself a prize, I've taken to cutting up the covering residue into lines and doing them up my nose as a brutal reminder of the time and money I'm wasting.
