I JUST CAN'T STOP!

It was late; he had finally fallen to sleep.  I slipped out from under the covers, trying not to make a sound, stealthily moving toward the bedroom door.  A creak in the floor halted my steps.  As I held my breath I and felt my way through the darkness, I wondered to myself…..”How long can I keep this addiction a secret?” 

As I finally made out to the kitchen counter, I pulled out a flash light and silently awoke my sleeping computer.  As I glanced over my shoulder, I realized the glare from my computer screen may give me away.  To the floor, behind the counter I went…finally feeling safe.

I logged on, with somewhat of a guilty conscious, but of course not enough to stop the feeding of my new addiction……..ACTIVERAIN

I began to type with ferocious speed, stopping only occasionally to listen for any sounds that may suggest the slightest opportunity of me being BUSTED!  As the words flew on to the page I felt exhilarated, my head began to swim with thoughts…..my fingers could barely keep up with me.  Oh…..the relief…..at last…..the ‘Jonesing’ (slang for strong need, craving) subsided.  Once I finished posting….I realized I could now sleep in peace, the fix was a success.

I sneaked quietly back into the bedroom and under the covers, I thought all was lost as he rolled over and softly asked me “Is it raining?”  I whispered back, “Yes Honey, but only gently.”
