Is there a 12 step program for hambers?

[Roothawg]

Flat Top Bob stopped by on his trek to Arkansas. After dinner we were talking about his upcoming vacation to the Carribean. He jokingly said he didn't know if he could survive a 7 day cruise without having Hamb access.
I know that it is a regular part of my daily routine.

I think we may be teetering on the brink of HAMB annonymous...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

It s amazing how one of the first things I do when I get home or get up in the AM is check the HAMB. It is a sickness but I for one am not ready to face up to it and go it to rehab - so call me a junkie!

[Roothawg]

Ummmmm...yeah I check the board 213 times a day and my family members call me Root now. Is this a problem?

[Radshit]

I am a car junkie.............And I don't want to be cured!

[G V Gordon]

The first step is to admit you have a problem.
Of course, my second step is usually to ignore the problem and hope it goes away. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

hi my name is danny and I am a Hamaholic.
My wife has been off all week do to snow and the new year. I work at home and,,,well find it hard not to read and talk with you guys. She has been flipping me crap and now knows why I am still working when she comes home and after we eat dinner.

[jonnycola]

My school lets us use laptops during the course of the day for school related things if we want to. But all I do is surf the net.

They busted me for being on the hamb so many times, they had to block the site. Yeah, maybe I should seek some help, or drop out of school http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[C9]

There useta was a 12 step program for HAMB'rs.

They took it off line cuz nobody used it.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Rocket88]

I wonder if there is a HAMB patch out there some where?
I tried a beer patch once. I'd picked a label off a bottle and stuck it to my forehead, it didn't help. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yeah I'd like a HAMB patch, maybe a hat to. Can we get some new shirts? Oh yeah and I'm usually not more than 5 or 6 steps away from the computer so I don't need 12 steps. Yes there's internet access in the garage. How else am I supposed to look up parts?

[Tony]

If there is, i should be on it.......

Rat..

[Tuck]

hahaha me too i think...

[Jester]

I'm lucky i can read the hamb on my lunch hour at work then go home and work on my car at night using the data i collected during lunch. Viva le Jambon oops i mean long live the HAMB.

[41sled]

Im off for winter break.. Going back on the 7th... I sit here from 8 in the morning to 12 at night ... Im addicted , i'll have to addmit..

[Travis]

12 Steps to my garage!!

[burndup]

I could quit at any time if I had to. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif But why do I need to? I like it! It hasn't ruined my life yet...

HAMB is much cheaper than cigarettes. Which, btw, its been 3 weeks since I quit and hadn't had one since. I find I occaisionally want to go "perform the ritual" of having a smoke... but theres no more "OMFG I NEED a smoke!" I guess I got it licked.

My chest never hurt before now and I cough a lot more. I think I'm growing new lungs!

[Fastsporty]

Burndup, congrats on the three weeks, now the hard part is coming, which is situation addiction. IE, I used to have a cigarette doing this or doing that, thats when your mouth waters http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif My girlfriend went home for x-mas and I had all these great plans while she's gone, clean the house, clean the garage finish porting my sportyheads. What got done? My post count went up. (and there was a little porn invoved http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifwhat can I say shes been gone like since burndup quit smokin.)

[beatnik]

This place is addicting, even when I don't have the time, I feel the need to check in and see whats going on for a few minutes.

[jay]

certified gearhead junkie here aint never going to stop!!

[fordnutz]

Are cars addictive? been playing cars since I was 13, now 54 with no end in site. I think my tagline suits me to a T, T? maybe I should do a T coupe next!!!!!!! Oh yeh, have to check the HAMB several times a day unless I am playing in the shop. I am so sick!!!!!

[41sled]

My first word was car... More like Caaaaar .. Im dead serious... Since then i have been addicted..

[Tman]

Just because I fired up the internet the second my boss went out the door does not mean I am addicted. I was checking a PM about an order from a HAMBer. Convenient excuse huh? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[scoop]

My wife says there should be a board for Hamb widows,but then we'd have to get another computer!!!!

[Roothawg]

I used to think I was the only guy that was this car sick. But then....I found a whole buttload of sickos. Maybe, that's why I stay here.

[choprods]

so....... you're callin us a bunch of sick fucks?.....thats what we like...RECOGNITION! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I live in a small farm community......very little to talk about here with the locals,unless it has cleats/tracks or is deisel powered,so Yes I do enjoy the HAMB.....you can only talk to yourself so long before you know what you're gonn say next -[also TV is so lame now I use it to withdraw from that bad habit! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[Curly]

Rehab is for quitters!

At least I can now relate to the Crack whore down the street! But I still have something to show for my addiction...and a very friendly neighbor for 20 bux!

[Flat Ernie]

To quote Tim Allen on Home Improvement:

Tim: The truth is, I'm addicted to cars.
Jil: Well, DUH!!

My wife & I have the same conversation.....

[JimC]

But Atch asked you guys not to post while he was gone.

Some bunch of friends we are. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[JSM56]

i heard that the first step is denial, but i don't think any of us are there yet. no, i know i can't be in denial. couldn't happen. nope

[buzzard]

And this is the first non car related trip Bob has ever taken her on. And I know he and Linda have been together for a long long time. She deserves a break from the cars for a week or so.

[slazzen]

if you read the 12 steps all most all of them start with the word WE I think that is why the hamb is such a kool place it is a WE place I just celebrated 9 yrs clean last night at the grateful dead new yrs show in oakland it was awsome not to be just me but part of a WE thats why i like the HAMB i like the WE part

[FORDY 6]

My posts are low, but interest is high, I usually check the HAMB at least twice a day. When at my in-laws, I have get on a computer at the library to see what's goin' on.

[atch]

I don't think I want to know how to quit. I got home at midnight from a 4 day trip. It's now 3:15. Guess what I've been doing for the last 3 hours???

[dadseh]

only 3 hrs. ??
Ive been in here for the last 6 but I have been in the shed for 4 months working on the EH, finally finished and 1060 miles on the clock since Xmas, found this web site but they couldnt help... http://www.12steps.org/Brochure/12step/12steps.html

[Rocky]

Well, I don't have a problem with it.........I can walk away from this computer any damn time I want to. I just don't want to right now.... I mean, I want to ---I just don't WANT to,,,,exactly. Uh.......
Maybe I DO have a problem! I'll hafta check with the "Henry Ford" clinic to see if I can get in for treatment. Who knows? Maybe, while I'm there, I can design a new, better flathead design...DOH! There I go again.. I may be incurable! I'll prolly die, lonely,sitting in a dark alley with a computer in my hands, answering some question about,about ..........compression ratios or wheel offsets while sipping from a bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper in a plain, brown sack....arghhhhhhhhhh.........

[Roothawg]

The Henry Ford Clinic...HAHAHAHAH

[atch]

Well. 3 hours last night. About 4 so far today. I hope to be "caught up" in another hour or two.

[Iceberg]

It could be internet porno that we are addicted to! Oh well, that would not be so bad either.

[BELLM]

My wife told me she is going to divorce me and name the HAMB as a party to divorce for alienation of attention. Oh well, whats another divorce, as long as I get the 32, the 30 the 50, the 54....
