I still quite don't understand how it happened, but I've accumulated a fair few sharpening stones during the past year. I wanted to improve my sharpening skills, so I bought myself a few waterstones (i.e., Naniwa Chosera 400, Suehiro Cerax 1000, GBOJ). I wanted a few quality stones that I could enjoy using.

I think I enjoyed the experience a little too much. Those three stones germinated and grew into this.

I may have a problem.

You're lucky you got hooked on waterstones. Getting hooked on natural stones, which are far more romantic, addictive, and tantalizing, is much more dangerous.
 
Not even close to needing a 12 step program. (Yet.)

Don't ask me how I know.
 
If you're having fun, then more power to you. I think most people hate sharpening and will do almost anything to avoid learning it. There's a whole market just for people like that.

Next, show the knives being ran across the green brick of joy.

What are they?

Most of the knives I'm interested in are bladed in carbon steels and simple alloys like 1095. Something like this Argentine puñal.

Have you tried DMT diamond plates (feeding the addiction).

I think I'm going to stick with waterstones for now. I don't need diamonds for the steels I usually deal with, though I did pick up an Atoma 140 for flattening.
