Am I addicted?

Addiction can be diagnosed in this way:  ( according to the definitive guide- the Diagnostic Stastitical Manual - volume 4 a.k.a DSMIV which is basically the book with every psychiatric illness listed and the criteria for diagnosis- its intesting stuff and  am I sounding like a big nerd? )
Three or more of the following:

•  Tolerance ( you cannot get addicted the first time you have it- yur body needs to build up a physiological dependence)
• Withdrawal ( feeling crapola if you don't have it)
• large amounts over a long period
• unsuccessful efforts to cut down
• time spent in obtaining the substance replaces other activities 
• continued use despite adverse consequences.

OR in more laymans terms:

• Thinking about it all the time
• Dreaming about it.
• Wondering about it.
• Doing it when you should be doing other things.
• Staying up late on school nights to do it.
• Saying just one more.

If you know who these two blokes are you may be addicted to:

yep, I am talking about The Wire.
Some friends lent us the box set of the whole series.

One of the best series I have ever seen - in terms of reeling you in and making you want more....
I know its on SBS or ABC at the moment but if I had to wait a week between episodes I would not be coping.
