Banned From Playing Sudoku
I had no choice but to ban myself from playing Sudoku. I started playing last year when I wasn't working and it quickly got out of hand. I quickly completed a book of one hundred puzzles and then was on to the next one. The grills were getting harder and I was getting quicker. Before I knew it I was spending every free moment with Sudoku. I used to watch quite a lot of tv but that ended once I had that little book in my hand.
I then started my own business and knew I had to give it up. I could have just reduced how much I was playing but I knew that would never work. I often found myself Sudokuing (is that a word?) until the early hours of the morning and if I was going to be serious about my business then I would have to give up completely. I finished the current book I was on and then gave up cold turkey. I've very proud to say I haven't touch one since.
Well, I admit I did give an online version a go but it didn't interest me. With online Sudoku you can 'pencil in' the numbers but it's not the same as scribbling in the possible answers and then rubbing them out as you go along. That is part of the fun for me. I like to have the book in my hand and sit down on the couch, working away for hours. The last thing I want is to spend more hours in front of the computer doing that.
If you don't have a book of grills then you can get them from the net. There are websites where you can print the Sudoku of the day and you can get them in various difficulties. I didn't get into this either as I still missed having that thick book in my hands. Anyway, it's over for me. I don't know if I can trust myself to ever play again.
