Hi... my name is Benn and i'm a sprayer.
It started when I was young, my parents didn't know.... I just couldn't quit. Spray rig to spray rig, I spent too many lost summers spraying. It's been many years now and I still have an uncontrollable urge to spray everything I see... houses, buildings, furniture.... I just can't stop. I know I shouldn't but I have even sprayed in wind with people holding drops up to hide me. I have to let go and admit... i'm a sprayer. Thanks.

I got a question, all that spraying all those years, How many times have you had to claim on your insurance for over spray on someone's car, truck, or their house? I have seen many a roof over sprayed by guys who like you spray everything. I had a guy who had me come out to spray a house for him, it was 20 degrees out the wind was wiping at 28mph and I said to him are you sure you want me to do this? He says yeah we need to get this house sprayed out today. Fine. well the over spray was on everything cars, trucks, the neighbors houses, street lights, you name it got over sprayed  . yeah you gotta love that sprayer

My name is joewho, I'm a recovering sprayer.
Thanks for sharing. It takes a lot of courage to admit your problem. The most important part of the word sprayer is prayer.
You must keep in mind how much you affect everyone around you when you spray. Friends, family and loved ones all suffer from your spraying. You can avoid the insanity by not picking up the sprayer. There is no "just one spray". We've all been through it. Through the grace of God and the spraayer program, there is hope. Keep coming back.

I too am an addict of "the spray plague" I too have spent hours thinking of all the things I could spray. I have put myself to sleep counting airless and hvlp rigs instead of sheep. I have also made some super silly contraptions to catch overspray when spraying outdoors. I have many times gone to public places covered in overspray looking like casper the friendly ghost. Oh, don't forget about the constant hours of digging out white overspray boogers!!!!!!!  Yes sir, I have a problem.
