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.

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.
