    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.

    I did that last night on the way home from work.

    WHAT? I go right passed one anyway.
  • You guys are Fu**ed up!!!

    ...

    ... now, back to my PJ discography, on repeat :D
    Makes me ache, makes me shake...
    ...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
  • 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....

    I saw a wino eating grapes, I said, "Dude, you have to wait"

    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.
