Aaaahhhh, a few weeks of punting bliss...
I agree with Mic , the first sign is punting with money that is needed for more vital things like , rent/mortgage , bills or money you haven*t (got that is credit card). Second would be punting regardless , no regular intervals , no set limits , just the need to punt over all other activities , socialising , family , work etc. Had my little run though I could afford it with mostly outcalls to hotels with 2 hour sessions over a 4 month period averaging about 3 a week . Wasn*t so much an addiction but a planned bonking great time . Only a planned renovation at home which started deterred me from continuing the run plus the looming drain on the bank account to complete it .. both brought me to back to reality and control the monster
