I confess. It happened to me, and I didn’t even know it.

The excitement of endless browsing. The thrill of pushing the SHOP NOW
and BUY NOW button. I was seduced into climbing onto a treadwheel ride
of endless searching choosing and buying.

And of course, the ultimate thrill: the constant arrival of packages to be
opened. Just like Christmas! over and over and over again.

It’s a mystery. I’m intelligent ( PhD). I have never been attracted to
gambling, card games or games in general. I find little interest in
television, and my reading habit has shrunk with age.

I’m retired. I have a quite adequate income. I’m an amputee with difficulty
getting around.

Ah! There’s a clue.

Forced to stay indoors much of the time; reduced social contacts; reduced
range of activities; increasing boredom.

Ahh! There are my excuses.
