Unless you're are in Tiger's head and know and understand his thought process, I don't know how anyone can decide and judge if he is an addict or not.

he's addicted to everything he gets involved with it seems.. work addiction, working out addiction, REALLY wouldnt be surprised if he is addicted to pain pills, addicted to cheating.

though the "sex" addict is a tough thing to grasp. You dont go through physical withdraws with sex, like you do with alcohol / cigarettes / drugS and those types of things.

the "sex" addict thing is more of being weak in the mind. You make the decison whether to sleep with someone or not. Very unlike real, physical addictions.

he's a selfish, arrogant guy who admitted he didnt feel the rules applied to him and all the girls wanted to hop on and he let them.

couldnt agree more. saying he is addicted to sex sounds a lot better than what it is he really did.

Do you honestly think it was Tiger's idea to come out and claim he's a sex addict? The fact is that he got caught cheatin with many woman. But I guess sex addict sounds better than obsessive cheater (especially when he makes his living in a sport that depends on the participants ultimate honesty). This was the work of some highly paid spinmasters.

My opinion only is that having affairs with dozen+ women at the same time is not normal behavior. That being said, I don't know what Tigers thought process was or any other particulars of what was going through his mind during this time frame. None of us do. Its not my place to judge if he is an addict or not.

I'm much more familiar with the disease of alcoholism than addiction, although like many people, my life has been affected in different ways by the disease of addiction. I wish Tiger nothing but the best in his chosen path of recovery. I do feel sorry for Elin. She will need more strength and patience than she could ever have imagined if she is to stick it out with Tiger and walk with him down this path.

Kev, While I do believe that the addiction to alcohol and drugs (not DrugsS, although those people who are addicited to him need serious help) is a sickness and requires help/treatment. The issues Tiger had/has isn't an addicition, it was a choice.

I agree, about as strong an argument as an addiction to doritos.

That's fine. I certainly respect the right for you to have your own opinion.
I'm simply saying it's not my place to judge if he is a sex addict or not. I do believe that sex addiction is a very real thing.

maybe DrugS can give his 2 cents... seems like he would know better than anyone, right?

Sock Addiction? Porn Addiction?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

You people act like I'm the only one who launches my load onto socks.

Where do the rest of you shoot it ... all over your stomach's and chest? Into a toilet bowl? In tissues? ... dab the head and the tissue is stuck to half of your helmet.

Spare me the "always into a woman" line... if that's true, you have no regard for the greatness of peace and quiet.

[Sightseek]

He certainly knows how to take grasp of an opportunity...

again...and again...and again.
