I need help!

Please help me overcome my obsession w/ buying fishing stuff.
Last night I started playing w/ Excel to figure out how much $$$ I have spent in the off-season. I then imported the data into QuickBooks for analysis. I think QuickBooks does not understand the relationship between fishing expenses and my sanity or lack there of.

Expense Summary 2006

New rods (3) = $725.00
New Reels (3) = $960.00.
Wood Plugs (41)= $800.00+/-
Pt Jude tin (25) $200.00+/-
Terminal/plastic/jigs/fluro/tackle box =$500.00 +/-
Boat work-$6800.00 (lots of cool stuff)
New boat slip $3100.00.
New Truck---- I don't even want to think about that cost. However, it will be a pretty cool sand sled.

I have a major league problem. Maybe a 12-step program to help me is in order.

--------OR-------

Maybe I need help rationalizing the expenses.

My argument:
I am not able to take vacations due to my business obligations.
I work 70-90 hours a week for 9 months. Thankfully, my slow months 50-60 hours a week are in the summer.
My dog is too stupid to go to college and I have NO KIDS.

Do I need help? Nah, I just need to fish!!!

3 weeks and I will have all the reasons in the world to justify the cost.

Happy New Season!
Bruce
