The first step towards recovery is to admit that I have a problem. And I certainly do! I was cruising in last nights 150k on UB. I won't get into the gory details but I had just over 100k in chips, was in second place with about 35 people to go, and the blinds were only 1200-2400 before I started donking. This has been happening more and more over the last month or so. I tried to tell myself that it's the holiday's, enjoy yourself. Just have one donk. But then 1 donk turns into 2, then 3. I always thought of myself as a social donker but now I realize that I can't control my donking anymore! Over the course of about 3-4 hands I managed to lose just about everything. I was like a donken sailor!! The comments by some railbirds were painful and amusing at the same time. One observer keenly noted, "It's an Opus chip give away!" (opusx69 is my sn on UB). Another witty observer stated, "yeah, it's like a clearance rack." I was speechless. It was all true. Is there a 12-step program for donkaholics like myself? Clearly I can't recover on my own. Is there a DA anywhere? Maybe all of us donks (you know who you are) need to start a recovery group or something. Please help me!

LMAO nice post

LOL I think we're a guilty if this.

Hey Duff check your P.M Thanks

perfect cause Artie will be 37 they have a lot in common

A couple of 10 day follow-ups and you will be just fine.

Hey Artie we ave all been there. Nothing worse than knowing you are making a mistake and you push/call anyway. It's that same feeling you get while slamming te car door shut just as you realize your keys are still inside but there's no stopping tat door from closing!! Get back on that Horse you Donkey and ride again!

You have already taken the first step on the road to recovery by admitting you have a problem. I two once suffered from that same disease (wait or was it chronic masterbation...o well i dont remember. I hope this helps you as much as it did me.

STEP#1: "We admitted we were powerless over being a donk -- that our lives had become unmanageable."
STEP#2: "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."
STEP#3: "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him." (Emphasis in original.)
STEP#4: "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our play."
STEP#5: "Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being that 33 is not the nuts when 10 J Q K is on the board in a 5 way pot.
STEP#6: "Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of play."
STEP#7: "Humbly asked Him to remove our ill timed all-ens."
STEP#8: "Made a list of all persons we have donked on, and became willing to make amends to them all."
STEP#9: "Made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or crack aces."
STEP#10: "Continued to take a personal inventory and when we pushed at the wrong time we promptly admitted it."
STEP#11: "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out." (Emphasis in original.)
STEP#12: "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to Donkaholics, and to practice these principles."
