That's how i do it is just devote a room to toys and call it good. Makes it nice so you don't have stuff scattered throughout the house and trying to hunt for stuff when you're trying to go play.

RC is the most addictive (legal) activity I have found . I was a mechanic for over 30 years and tools were an addiction ,my fellow gearheads know whay I mean . Restoring muscle cars was my next addiction . Dirt bikes and Quad racing was another addiction . Finally RC became my only addiction and it calls me much harder and more frequently than any of the other "addictions" ever did. After a life altering on the job injury that restricts me physically, no more muscle cars , no more
riding or racing quads or bikes . I don't miss any of the other stuff . If I couldnt RC at all I would lose what little sanity I have remaining . Yes - it is addictive , but also very therapeutic.

I thought you said doing RC while On drugs, I did have a flying buddy who would seem to always get Hi as you know, then fly his .40 size kaoas super crazy.. But he flew like crap when we wasnt smokeing. But I had to call him out one on one and put a end to that crap.
"Easy," he replied. "I practice drunk."

We have a hound dog, who sleeps in the bed with us, normally between my feet, a Siamese cat who sleeps on my wife's neck, and a 4 year old son who thankfully sleeps in his bed usually. Between those 3 and lots of RC cars and various other man/boy toys, especially the ones i don't have yet, I get most of the stimulation i need to be happy.

You know what is funny/not funny about this, is that I got back into R/C after being out of it for almost a decade..... while in a 3 quarter house... recovering from a substance abuse problem I started as a kid. I've been clean now for over 5 years... and my one car I built in that 3 quarter house now has 9 others to keep it company. I tell people all the time that the hobby is one of the big helps I had during my transitioning time. Because it gave me something to really focus on, outside of myself, and didn't leave me much time to stress over wanting to use. There is a book called "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" that sort of follows that same trajectory of thought. R/C cars give me a break from the larger (pun intended) world out there.

I used to have a bumper sticker on my car
(large lettering)
Caution Driver addicted to Alcohol
(small lettering)
Mixed with Castor oil and Nitromethane
I got some strange looks from people, one asked me what it tasted like; I said " it's not very good"
