Hopeless Addict

I’m addicted to my computer. I spilled coffee on my mouse and now it’s dead, or at least in a coma until it completely dries out from the alcohol bath I gave it. I immediately started getting agitated, withdrawal symptoms started making me edgy until I figured out a few keyboard shortcuts. I got my text editor open and did quite a bit of writing, the game had been such a huge distraction. As soon as I started doing something on the computer again I began feeling better. One good thing came out of the withdrawal, I cleaned the kitchen.

Tell me about it!

When I'm forced to tear myself away from the computer, I feel depressed and deprived. And like any addiction, this one is starting to impact on any attempt to lead a "normal" life. I spend entire days on end indoors, getting no exercise, trapped in an endless cycle of checking e-mail, sitemeter, visiting and commenting to other blogs, checking out interesting links, and--oh yes--posting. No exercise, abnormal sleep patterns, apathetic attitude toward real life responsibiliities.

Since America is addicted (lol) to the AA solution for every imaginable dependency, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they establish a bloggers anonymous group. In fact, I'm sure they have, and that the meetings take place --where else--on line....
