How can I start this? I've been collecting Busses for some time now. If I had some extra money it was well invested in bacon slicing nuclear powered INFI. If I haven't had any extra money I still got the INFI - knowing that I could sell it again if I needed some extra money (HOG logic). I reached a point where I couldn't tell anymore which sheath belonged to which knife. Trying to compile a list of knives i possessed ended in frustration - couldn't remember what I had. Even forgot some of my most beloved pieces.

Made a cut. Forced myself to only keep one knife of each size of each color scheme I collected. The rest was sold on the x-change. The money I raised was invested in a new Harley. Since I got this bike I dumped more money into customizations than I would have when collecting Busses in the same time frame. Since I decided to cut down my collection I haven't bought a single knife - even though the company offerings were great. As of today I didn't get the SARGE, the TGLB and the AA Zombie Extinguisher. The voice in my head that always persisted "you must have it"... finally stopped talking to me.

I still have a bunch of knives - more than i need for the rest of my life. I still enjoy the forums and the great company I found here. I fondle my knives and enjoy those I kept even more than before. But I don't want MORE. Haven't visited the x-change for months.

Being cured! Finally. I am stronger than INFI addiction. Not suppressing the urge, but simply not having the urge. Self-assured and confident of being healed I visited the x-change just to see what's going on there. Saw a SARGE and almost pulled the trigger - withdrew - decided in the same second that I need a CABS - and a KZ-2. Never held a SARsquatch either. The Hellrazor must be great if some people recommend it over the TG... I'm back in the game baby. Gimme ma fix.
 
For a bit there, I was concerned you were going to be a shining beacon of hope for the weak-minded and afflicted.
 
OH Yes, Denial Isle...It's a long and lonely road.
Welcome back.
 
No there is no cure... not yet at least..... Sounds like you've evolved into the pick only what you really want or need status of your addiction. It's a calmer state of mind.......the energy in your body will flow more smoothly and you will flow like water. FOCUS GRASS HOPPA..... (now remember, you WILL experience a relapse when you purchase your next piece of INFI)
 
My addiction was initially indiscriminate but now (after selling off the fat) I still buy too many Busses (according to my wife) but I have a better idea what I'll love and regret not getting. :) The LBAA was one such Busse. Now I'm saving up for atleast 2 War Hawks! Bring It already!! :D
 
I tried quitting once, it's not working out to well for me... :D
 
Wolfdad said it. Be water, my friend. This is how I live my life, and my Jiu Jitsu game, and my Exchange travails.
 
No. Your addiction is not over. You've only found a temporary fix with your new addiction. ;)

For you it's a Harley, for me it's firearms. I bounce back and forth from knives to guns... depending on my mood. I'll sell or trade one or the other depending on my mood. All that being said, if you do things right, I very rarely lose any money on either and generally come out a bit ahead when it's time for them to go. Buying quality pays off in the long run.

Glad you were able to come to terms with everything. Back in the trough is a good place to be.
