While we have serious addictions in Smalltown like everywhere else, drugs and alcohol being the top two, we also have relatively harmless ones. The hands-down winner for favorite fun addiction here is the Dallas Cowboys. During a Cowboys game the whole town shuts down. I have walked the Smalltown streets during these games and they are as quiet and empty as a church on Monday morning. Never mind that the Cowboys performance this year has been less than stellar.

In other states such as Minnesota ice hockey takes the place of football. If someone in Minnesota is watching an ice hockey match and the house catches fire, the guy is likely to say, "Hold on! I can't leave yet -- Larsen is about to score a goal! Besides (cough), the fire (cough) is still in the next room!"
So there are football addictions and ice hockey addictions. In my home state of Indiana they have basketball addiction. In addition to sports addictions, some people have food addictions. Sometimes those go together. There's nothing like a beer and snacks in front of a TV watching sports. A man in my sister-in-law's family said he was having a hard time with food addiction. To remedy that, he had followed the example of Alcoholics Anonymous and their Twelve Step program. He was enrolling in a Twelve Course program.
