    Hello Micheal, thank you for sharing.

    I'm Amanda and I'm a PJholic. It has been zero minutes since my last song/fix. I'm currently listening to Corduroy (studio album version). A co-worker / fellow PJholic and I flew to Toronto from Halifax to see PJ on August 21st and have listened to nothing but since or prior for 2 months prior to. We listen at work, in the car and at home.

    Thanks for listening.

    Hello, my name is Mary Ann and I have 19 days until my next confession.

    The new stuff is almost spiritual. It is so great, I can't even stand it. Not that I have heard it or anything.

    I feel your pain. My family does not understand and I fear an intervention. My friends on facebook do not even respond anymore because of all the Pearl Jam links. Why, for the love of God, do people close to me just not "get it"?

    Pearl Jam is my crack.
  • petrocspetrocs Posts: 4,342
    A few weeks back I gave into temptation and dropped 7 bills on 4 kegs (concerts) of Pearl Jam...I know I shouldnt have but it was a seasonal! The 4th one was a Punkin Ale :)

I just dropped another $440 on tickets and a hotel room for Another philly show. :) I can't stop and i don't want to. The dog hasn't eaten in 2 weeks. actually, just kidding, I don't have a dog. But if I did, his name would be Stone. Please play Mankind at ACL and or 10/30-10/31.

    Hi, Im Matt, PJholic. Unfortunately, there's no hiding it, so I am looking more for a Family Of recovering PJHolics Group so they can adjust and finally accept that this is a life long struggle to open up to listening to anything other than Pearl Jam. If you can guide me to such a group, it may save my relationships with them all....thanks.....
    Formally known as Tackalac before being formally known as Vedderwt,,,,....release my old name and posts....

    haha! great!

    my two coins...it's been about 2 hours since I've stopped listened PJ. And it's very hard. The hardest time is in my work - 8 hours daily without this music seem to last forever. Sometimes I can't think about different things.
    It is very helpful to meet other PJholics like me.

    Thanks for sharing. My name is Jo and I am a PJholic. I don't see anything wrong with this addiction and have shamelessly pressured others to join me. I listen to nothing else at home. I also have a confession........
    my friend wanted to borrow a DVD from me, and when he wasn't looking I removed the disc and gave him the cover only. :oops: Thankyou for listening.

    LOL, i love that thread!!

    My name is Laura, and i fear i am a *little* addicted too... 3 weeks ago, i started school again, and in the first 3 days everybody knew i was crazy about PJ!okay, i might have worn band shirts/hoodie all the time, carried photos with me which i looked at constantly while classes, listened to noting but PJ, sung my favourite songs whenever i could (and i dont get one tone...) suddenly played air-guitar/drum solos in inappropriate moments...
    maybe i should mention, that i came home from the uk, the friday before school, looked quite fucked up!! ;);) and was flying 10 metres above the ground!!


    i think i am on a good way of recovering (although don't want to) since i won't see any shows soon, and can't afford going to loads of shows when they come back to europe 2010 or '11...

    ah, to those of you who were in berlin or the uk, yeah i am the crazy, loud german girl with her flag, stupid haircolour and only pearl jam songs on her iPod!!

    Hi - I'm Andy and also, a PJaholic.

    Alas my affliction isn't as bad as many people on here, although I have gone a long 6 hours without listening to the strains of Edward, Michael, Geoffry, Matthew and, er Stone - I blame having to work for this. Once my work has finished, I will put on my ipod and listen to some random PJ track and then press the back button. This process will repeat about five times until I have got home. On Friday, I played four PJ songs on the dukebox at the pub, I got some strange looks. I was sitting there quite contempt listening to Severed Hand, Porch, Given to Fly and Betterman - although the chavs around me were wondering why I wasn't putting on any RnB or Brittnay Spears. In fact, I do think now I am cured and those people have the problem!

    THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
    :D Rock on!!!! :D
    Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.
  • petrocspetrocs Posts: 4,342
    These are all great responses..I have a second confession..I spend all day long at work on this board..and I write Pearl Jam on all my Dunkin Donuts cups...its true..Im so ashamed
