AA for us

Is there such a place for us audiophiles: Audiophile's Anonymous? I feel that at this point that I am showing all signs of an addict and I am no longer a functioning addict, unfortunately. 

The only upside is that it is distracting me from other harmful activities such as watching the news x hours a day.

On the wagon, off the wagon, put on repeat endlessly. The 'other' AA would be seriously frustrated or done with me.

Should the AA include counseling and support groups based on the specific affliction, i.e.:

  • excessive system cost to income ratio
  • tweaks and cables infatuation
  • flavor of the day compulsion
  • connection cleaning mania
  • golden ears delusion
  • fear of missing out phobia
  • audio gear hoarding disorder
  • fear of leaving the basement
  • repetitive music track syndrome
  • on-line forum obsession
  • others?

Thought I would experiment with spicing up the pegboard (tried and true) by adding a mattress and some Texas hot sauce.

I'm quickly running out of new ideas @ my age.
