You should read the book "Golf is a Four Letter Word". It starts out with the author describing his addiction to golf, how it ruined his life, and how he was finally able to give it up. Then starts the sad part - though he has given up the game, his albatross is the need to write poems, limericks, and other wordplays all about golf. It's really, truly sad. And I think you could empathize with the guy :)
