[QUOTE="SpiffyAllstar, post: 505293, member: 1683"]I did it as well. About four years ago I stopped cold turkey when I went off to college; everything was packed up and sealed away in a plastic tub in my closet. I didn't really choose to do it, per se, but the situation in my life led me towards it. In the dorms I had no place to store or display my collection, so it was in true storage elsewhere. Finances were tight, so there was little to spend on new aquisitions. The biggest factor, however, was it simply stopped being important. I'm a senior now and there is light at the end of the endless tunnel of schooling; going through my old stuff, I found a few misplaced items and it reminded me of what I used to do for so long. About two weeks ago, I got a mailer from the website and stopped by out of curiosity. It's a miracle I even remembered my password, but lo and behold...I caught the bug again. It's amazing how easily you can lose the fire for such a hobby, but it's just as amazing at how easily and inexplicably you can get it back. In the word's of the great Bender..."I'm back, baby!"[/QUOTE]
