How Can I Fight an Addiction to Online Contests?

Question by Inno: How can I fight an addiction to online contests?
I love online contests, I compete in many and I win almost 1 every 3 days. I like the prizes (books, DVDs, cosmetics, gadgets and so on) but I like even more to see my name on the winners list. The problem is that these contests take a lot of time and got me into a routine it’s hard to break out of. Any advice?

You might want to try Gambler’s Anonymous… you say yourself that it’s become a routine and that it’s not the prizes, but the thrill of seeing you name on the winner’s list.

I live in Reno and have worked for Casinos here. Take the test (linked below), be honest with yourself, and if you need it, get the help you need…
