"Hi... my name is Kpt. Lehmann... and I'm a submarinaholic."

My name is Platapus and I am....<sob> a submarineaholic

It all started innocently, you know, a couple of training missions, just to be one of the guys.

Well, it quickly became something serious....

Soon stock SH3 was not enough. You see... there were these mods <sob>

Honestly, I only wanted to experiment with one mod -- The grey wolves. I thought I was in control. But I was lying to myself. There were other mods.... too many mods. I admit, I was like a kid in a candy store.

Then there was JSGME. It was SUPPOSED to help me with my mod addictions. HAH! It only enabled me to delve deeper and deeper into mods. Soon I could not play SH3 without JSGME. I had the SH3 monkey on my back

I did not even try to resist SH3 Commander. By that time I was too far gone..... <sob>

I had the stopwatch, the graph paper and yes <hanging head in shame> even my own hard-copy recognition manual!

I tried to keep my family out of this, but I am sure they knew. You can't hide a submarine addiction.

After work I would hurry home for a quick patrol.

Often I would need to log onto Subsim.com first thing in the morning.. just for a few posts to get going.

Soon my friends all left me for WoW or Medal of Honor.. they knew I was a lost case.

It is too late for me. But if I can save one, just one person from becoming a submarineaholic, perhaps my life won't be such a waste.

Go outside and don't be afraid of that bright ball in the sky. It won't hurt you and really, there are no aircraft diving toward you.
