There are many many things of which you can become addicted that are FAR WORSE than chess. As in all things, moderation is important but otherwise, do what makes you happiest.
Many people reach the end of their lives and regret not living it how they wanted but rather letting peers and others dictate for them. DON'T DO IT. Be a free spirit.

Sometimes I regret it when I'm tilting, but once I come back and untilt I no longer have regrets.

I just love getting blocked by someone who disagrees with me online because of a simple comment. it shouldn't shock me at all. hahaha!
ADDED: No wonder they only have 3 Friends although they've been here 3 years!!
