Each morning during the season before I brush my teeth, I find myself running into my office to see how my team faired the night before. I analyze my upcoming opponent to decide on line-ups and starters. It is probably one of the most addictive fantasy games I play. Does anyone else enjoy it more as much!!!!!!

The addiction is real, and I've got it, but the only twelve steps I want are those that will improve my team!

im the same way..........
1st thing i do when i wake up....make coffee..pour cereal.....and sit my ass down to check the results.......then all day at work (im on the road with no computer)..i think about how to improve my team.....pretty sad !!!!!!
but its fun......

sounds like my house as well

I usually try to get the results at night, but then I find I am staying up way too late. It is a good addiction, like Go or chess. It is fun , clean stimulating and challenging. But, I probably spend a little too much time with it. Oh, well. I hope that I won't get burned out.

yes sometimes if im awake ill check them at nite..but i like to wait for morning...makes it exciting to wake up...
WOW my life is shit!!!!

I normally won't go to bed without seeing how at least one of my teams performed. Most mornings it brings me to 2am before I retire for the evening. I don't have to be up until 7:45 though.

yeah im up at 3 am for work ...so sometimes i have days when the results arent even posted!!!!!

those days when they do maintenance kill me!!

Multiply all that by 4 years and 5 different versions of the game(200x,ATG,ATGII,80's@ 69). :wink:

5:00am routine - make coffee, outside for a smoke and let dogs out, get cup coffee, sit down for my daily results and set up next days pitching matchups and manager strategies.

Had a hard time getting out of bed prior to Strat - about a year and a half now. Love it.
