My "Addiction"

~ My "Addiction" ~

I have heard about addictions and 12 step programs.  I've never been through them.  I have no reason to go through one.  Just because I may have the tendency to sneak into my closet with my computer in the middle of the night and log into AR doesn't mean anything other than I couldn't sleep.  It seems that everywhere I go I am searching out a story to write a blog just means that I am trying to learn about neighborhoods and communities.  I also carry my camera everywhere taking photos of odd things that I may be able to write about in the future.  There is nothing wrong with that.  It just means that I am using my creative juices and trying to ward off Alzheimer's.

Okay, I will admit to being a points junky.  But that only means I am a competitive person.  I grew up loving and playing sports.  To be good, you have to be competitive, right?  And I might, on occasion, drool over well written blog posts.  But doesn't everyone enjoy a great read?

I have hyperventilated a time or two if I couldn't get to a computer.  But I know lots of folks that this has happened to.  I'm not in denial.  I don't have a problem.  I am just like every other member here on ActiveRain.  And none of you are addicted, right?  So I am fine....just fine.  Ask me and I will tell you.  I am just fine.

I have read that one way to reduce this 'so-called' addiction is to hang out with friends.  That's fine.  I have many friends are here on ActiveRain.  And I like to hang out with them.  They are all over the country, so I have to log into AR to hang out.  The air fare to fly to see them all would be too outrageous.  Another way to get rid of an addiction, I am told, is to seek out love, acceptance, strength and hope from others.  Okay.  I can get that here playing in the Rain.  We are a community here.  We help one another with advice.  We give each other the strength to get through issues and transactions.  We show our love and respect to each other.  So see, not only am I not addicted, but if there was even a remote chance that I was, my cure is right here on ActiveRain.  Problem solved.
