Addiction Or Dedication?

Hey guys, are you addicted or dedicated?

I probably solve around 250 times each day and I seriously can't help myself. I'm always buying new cubes, watching videos, looking at forums (well this one) and you get the idea. I was wondering, how many times do you solve a day? How many cubes do you have? Is cubing your favourite hobby?

BUT, it all boils down to one question....Are you addicted or dedicated?

I'm interested.

Strongly dedicated.

So you could say...On the edge of addiction, lol

Addicted. I do usually between 1-5 solves per day. Sometimes I'll do as many as 10, but only when I want to change things up.
---> Big cube BLD solves of course. 10 solves is when I do 3x3x3 BLD on the same day as well.

Addiction: Psychologically dependent on something.
Dedication: Devote wholly and earnestly.

Out of those two, I am dedicated.

How about obsessed?

I'm devoted because I wanted to get faster, to reach my full potential, and I have a love for the cube.
However, I take breaks and relax often.

I want to get faster but I neither am addicted or dedicated. If I was either of those, I would solve the cube more often, I would say I do it maybe 50 times a week, and there are days I don't even look at the damn thing.

Most days my relationship with the cube is very causal. Every once in a while I get angry and try to get faster. This never works.

Dedicated, addicted, obsessed, and everything in between.

It's just one of the many things I can do with the free time I have.

I would say dedicated.

This.

I solve the cube 50-100 times a day. Depends on work.

I used to be like that, now I only do it between games of something else (call of duty, starcraft) even when waiting for my plants to grow on minecraft

So addicted that I've been hit by a Taxi before... because I would solve while walking, and stupid me not crossing a round and NOT cubing at the same time...

I've also driven under the influence (of cubing). Let's just say it was a long boring drive to Oklahoma open...


There are also very few people that own a store (like myself) filled with twisty puzzles... and be addicted at the same time. Well, I'm actually cubing less now since I've been open for 3 months. I have higher priorities now for the business, apart from the cubing aspect of it.

Also, when I get speedcubers in my store, they're like 8 yr olds in a candy store... they often empty their wallets and walk out with a handful of puzzles. There was one kid absolutely obsessed with touching everything, he also had butter fingers! Since then I've built a "puzzle hospital" that sits at the end of my desk. I spend an hour every night reassembling puzzles.

A combination of both. Dedicated to get faster and I have an urge to do averages daily.

I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST
LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS

addicted. i don't want to see an unsolved cube!
