Addiction recovery ?

[1950DAVE]

Many on this forum are in denial, and you will find few seriously seeking professional help.

The cure comes when your kids inherit the collection, hopefully they will know the value ofwhat you've left for them!

For me, shooting the guns has slowed down my purchasing. If I own it I want to shoot it and I only have time to shoot, clean and maintain a given number of guns and I'm about there right now. Still hard to resist that little voice at 2:30 am that says go online and order something.

Is there a support group for the addiction of buying muzzleloaders ?
If so I need to join, just unloaded the truck from estate sale adventure and realized I need to seek help.
I can't resist bidding on a Thompson Center muzzleloader, and unfortunately I've been winning.
How many muzzleloaders does one man need ? Does anyone else suffer from this affliction ?

If the muzzleloaders you need =X and the muzzleloaders you want is = Y then the number of muzzleloaders you have = X+Y+1

I am always on the " +1" side of the equation it seems.

The little lady of 52 yrs now ask me one time why do you need that you already have one of those. I said I don't need it I want it ! Never ask me again.

I don't know. But if you have to ask, you probably don't have enough.

There is NO BOTTOM to the rabbit hole .... especially if you get into military firearms, as you'll be wanting to explore several hundred years of military firearm development.

The same can be said for trade guns, too.

We’ve got to separate needs from wants.
If you truly do not ‘need’ there is no problem, no addiction.
Wants are something else! If you’ve got the money, go for it. We only have one this one chance in life to really enjoy our hobbies.
My brother’s wife asked him how many muzzleloaders do you need? His reply was “ I have more than I need, not as many as I want.”

Your plight reminds me of a story. Atwood Kent was a notable inventor, manufacturer and became very wealthy during the golden age of radio in the early to middle 1900’s.
The story goes something like this…
On his deathbed, surrounded by family and his clergy, he exclaimed his only regret was not consuming enough of his well loved fine champagne. With a glass of champagne in his hand, his last word was
”Cheers!”
May we all enjoy our hobbies to that degree!
