I think I am. I run to the store I come home get online to read posts. I go to the bank, I come home to this board. I wake up and I go to bed checking this board.LOL It is worse than lortab. Well I don't know if I'd go that far but mentally pretty close.LOL Just wondered if any of you feel the same way? I think it is great for those of us that benefit from it everyday! There is A LOT of wonderful people here and many should be soo proud of themselves. Rae
yup i do like right now im suppose to be drying my hair and getting ready foe my daughters driving but yet i cant pull away i want to know how everyone is and if i can help in anyway.besides i don't think being addicted to this board will kills us like the drugs will huh?mollyjean
Hi Rae,
I have to say I've been experiencing the same thing. Always have to check the board and been doing so since September. lol, it's kind of funny too. I mean, there is a lot of nice people here but there are nice people in other forums yet I seem to keep coming back to this one.

My name is Dan, and I am addicted to this board ha!
That's funny Dan. I liked that one! LMAO. I swear when I was posting this post I forgot I had a blueberry bagel in the toaster and it burned BLACK. I said to myself that is pretty bad when I couldn't pull myself away from this board long enough to eat! I am out of here gotta get my daughter from school before I forget about her,LOL....Rae
Maybe we should start a support group "Hello my name is mollyjean an I'm addicted to message boards.Nobody would belive it except we few.Take Care Mollyjean
Rae- I don't care if the bagel burned! Send it to me anyway..those are my favorites!
I am guilty as charged, but better addicted to this web site than drugs! right??, right! see ya later, jazzy
addicted... yep me too!!! my name is christina and i am addicted to the message board. That feels so much better (ha, ha, ha.)
Ok, we are all coming out of the closet now..what will our spouses say! Is there a "addiction board" rehab or detox place? Where do we go for help?!!?!! I think I'll "google" and try to find out...ohhhh nooooo! ;-)
Oh s***, I relasped on the "board"
Oh s***, I relasped on the "board"
I surrender, my computer had to go into the "shop" and I carried on like I was in a detox. I felt I was truly lost until it came back home.
I went out of my mind for two days and I don't want to go thru that again.

Mods- You have to set up another board "Those addicted to this board"..and then another "Spouses of those that are addicted to this board". And so on, and so forth...really though, it's been a lifeline...
yes it has been a lifeline. It is a great place to say anything you feel and not be judged because everyone is floating in the same boat. It is soo much easier to talk to someone that can relate to your kind of pain and frustrations. People that know exactly what we are going through.Some of us have been there done that and some of us are still doing it and will do it again,people that have NEVER been dependant on any drug wouldn't understand. I love this board it is great and I am sooooo addicted to it. I am off to bed but will see ya'all in the morning. Good night to everyone!!! ONE DAY AT A TIME!!! Rae
I'm addicted too, I admit it! It was good to see you all having so much fun with this topic!
Love,
Susan

I thought I was the only one!!!! I joined in Sept and was on here literally 12 hours a day.... When I first started withdrawals, I took a week off of school and work and would just sit on here... I started not studying as much, not emailing friends and family, all because I wanted to read these posts instead. It got to be so bad that my husband felt I was neglecting my family, but I HAD to do it. There is an old saying that your number of habits don't change - the habits themselves might, but when you have an addictive personality, you substitute one addiction for another one.
When I started traveling for my job, I was in the Virgin Islands (about a month and a half ago) and couldn't access the Internet... The VERY first thing I did when I got home, after not seeing my husband and child for 8 days, was log on to check these posts (I wanted to see if my absence was noticed as well and it felt good that it was)
At one of the roughest times in my life, the people on this forum were there for me... Not many people understand me or my addiction, so it was great to finally have someone to talk to about this.
But I still think I need AA or something to get this vice under control

Dear Danielle I love this site.I have found more sweet caring people on here than I have ever met in life.It is a good feeling to come here and be embraced like the people here do.I look forward to my time here(usaully 8am til 3pm)And if I'm having a hard day(like we all sometimes do)the people here are like a big comfy blankee ya know.....mollyjean
Molly Jean, to me, writing is therapy.... And these boards are great because it's like writing in a journal and coming clean to yourself, but then having others read it and give you feedback as well.
The majority of people in my life would be shocked to know that I suffer with this.... these are all those who think they are "above" this and who think that I am, too..... For some reason, the majority of people think that drug addiction is only something that the poor, abused, fat, ugly, homeless, insane, etc people go through.... It's hard for them to believe that a "normal" person could be addicted to drugs as well.....
Being on here, it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like..... We all understand each other and what we're going through. We don't judge (okay, some do, but those are often just those on here who are angry with themselves). And everyone on this message board is here when I need them... I love that

Danielle (by the way, the name of one of my daughters), you might need AA, but we all need BA (boards anonymous)
Yes Danielle it is wonderful to come here and write down your feelings. I am a big taker and I agree you cannot share this information about your addiction with everybody(hardly nobody)what am I talking about. It is just an ugly little secret that not a lot of people like to admit. By coming here though we are all moving forward in recovery which is great! Denial is often there for a long time and it takes a while to get to this point to discuss our feelings and emotions with others. Especially since we have been taking pills for so long we have covered many emotions up-I know I have. So I agree this board is great! I also agree with Danny I love the name Danielle. It is my middle name and my daughters middle name too! Rachel
Dear danielle Isn't it horrable that people have this idea of what an addict looks like?Noboby would ever guess that about me(or maybe they do)But I finally have gottin to this place where I feel comfortable and that is what we addicts need.As I write this I really belive I'm one of the functioning addicts.I am commited to lower my pill intake and comming here sometimes gives me a boot in the butt that I sometimes need but also I get the tenderness of others like me.....mollyjean
