Confessions of an addict
The ClubHouse: General Discussion Archives: Confessions of an addict
Bigd | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 10:53 am     Hello my screen name is Bigd...I am addicted to this board. I only thought I was addicted to Big Brother, but I have come to realize I have stopped tuning in to the live feeds that I purchased, I have for the most part stopped reading the live feed posts, and have become obsessed with keeping up with what is going on on this board. I have more interest and favorites on this board than I do on the BB show. I am afraid and feel alone. Does anyone know of a 12 step program for this? |
Squaredsc | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 10:58 am     bigd, you are not alone. i have totally abandoned the mole2, and the other topics on this board also. i at least think that step 1 is to acknowledge our addiction, and we have done that. |
Zachsmom | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 10:59 am     I've acknowledged my addiction..I am just not ready to quit!!! |
Twiggyish | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:01 am     Welcome BigD =) I too am guilty of abandoning Mole and other shows, since BB started. |
Fanny | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:01 am     Hello. My name is Fanny and I'm a BB addict. I think we should do group therapy. Then we can discuss the show. |
Blinky | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:04 am     Has anyone else felt the withdrawl effects when there has been a power outage or when the server goes down? It is pure hell! |
Zachsmom | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:06 am     blinky..especially when you go to the mirror site and it says "The main board is working fine go there now" or something to that effect..LOL and you almost cry cause it doesn't work..LOL.. I even went to enbcom.com and just looked at the webpage.. |
Bigd | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:08 am     I am ashamed of my behavior when the board goes down. It is not pretty. I may need meds. GIVE ME MY MEDS!!!!!! GIVE ME MY MEDS!!!! |
Erina75 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:10 am     Hello, my name is Erin and I am a board hoarder. Now I've said it...I gotta go...I just saw a new thread.... |
Blinky | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:14 am     Zachsmom last time I went to the mirror site when this board was down it was down too ... it was a very bad time in my life |
Heyltslori | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:21 am     The entire second half of BB was interupted on Sunday for a special weather report of impending thunderstorm and tornado warnings. I am ashamed to admit all of the "naughty" words I hurled at my tv. I may need medication. |
Pcakes2 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:57 am     Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over things we believe we cannot control, like FOTH and live feeds timing out, and that our lives had become unmanageable. Step 2: We came to believe that this group of hamsters could restore us to sanity. Step 3: We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Arnie S. Step 4: We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of Tonya, KiKi, Eric, Lisa, Roddy, Marcelas, Josh, Jason, Lori, Danielle, Gerry and Amy’s lives. Step 5: We have admitted to other posters the exact nature of the houseguests wrong-doings. Step 6: We are entirely ready to have ________ removed form the house. Step 7: We humbly asked Real to remove all the advertising. Step 8: We made a list of all the posters who actually like Josh, KiKi, Roddy, Dani (or whoever), and are willing to make amends to them all if (god forbid) their favorite houseguest wins the $$$. Step 9: We will make amends to the houseguests for our comments wherever possible, except when they’ve done something REALLY stupid to embarrass themselves. Step 10: We continued to take inventory of how many times hands go unwashed. Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve the quality of the live feeds. Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to other members who feel sucked into this reality TV craze. |
Zachsmom | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 11:59 am     LOL..That was the best..that needs to be posted somewhere so it doesn't get lost!! LOL |
Draheid | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 12:04 pm     A few days ago, we had a power outage overnight. It concerned me to think it might happen while I was trying to keep up with the boards. I immediately checked out my UPS to make sure it was working. Then I pulled out my laptop and fired it up to make sure it was working and fully charged(transferred all my current bookmarks while I was there). Then I pulled out my cell-phone and interface to be sure I could get wireless access in case my cablemodem and dailup modem both failed. Whew, I think I'm covered ... wait, this is an addiction board not a what do do if you can't get online.... Nevermind... |
Djgirl5235 | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:16 pm     The last time the board was down was the last time I got work done at work...now that's an addiction!!! |
Squaredsc | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 03:09 pm     great 12 steps pcakes2, draheid um hate to tell u this, but it sounds like you are in the right place. lol. |
Ketchuplover | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 03:42 pm     Have any of you driven while under the influence of this board? If so, SHAME ON YOU. |
Draheid | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:40 pm     Hmmm, Ketchuplover: Would that be a PUI Posting Under the Influence or PWI Posting While Intoxicated. After reading some of these posts, it does make you go Hmmmmmmmmm.... btw: are either of those punishable offenses, and if so, what's the punishment: access to the boards denied or 48hours mandatory continuous LFP duty? |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 08:35 am     bump because I like this thread. |
Admin | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:13 am     I like the 12 steps. I find myself digging through old files, looking at past Big Brother stuff (like the BBlive viewer I found). I'm slowly getting sucked back in! God grant me the serenity to accept the show, I cannot change it, courage to change the tvch (that I can change) and wisdom to know when to eat and sleep! |
