You may be an addict...
…if you sit around and ponder how sad it is that the rest of society chooses NOT to live the "liberal, care-free, mind-expanding and free existence" that you are so blessed to be living while you are tightly locked in your bedroom with a blanket over the window.
...if when getting blood work, you have to tell the nurse which vein will work the best.
...if someone asks if they can bum a cigarettes and you reply, "No man, I only have 9 left".
…if you stay up all night and you're STILL late for work in the morning.
…if every time you see any glass object, you automatically try to figure out how you could blow it into a pipe.
…if you can't commit to being anywhere more than two days ahead of time, cuz you don't know if it will be an "up" day or a "down" day.
…if you talk gibberish to cops about its not mine and i don’t know how it got there, these pants aren’t mine i borrowed them.
...if you hear the damn birds starting to chirp in the morning and all you want to do is go out and shoot every one of the little bastards!
…if you tell yourself a "drug salad" should be the first part of every meal, and it ends up being the only course.
...if your contact with God goes something like this: if you let me live through this I promise I'll never, never ever, ever, ever do this crap again!!!!!
...if you decide you're going to quit forever, take all your paraphernalia out to the garbage, gently place it in the can and cover it with some newspaper (just in case).
...if a cop wakes you up in your car in the middle of a corn field and you tell him that you were just watching the pacers playing the san Diego chickens on television at a friend's house.

-Laughs- Great post.

I read this one:

if you remember everything about your arrest except the ride to the police station, you might be an addict.

And thought...what if the police van and cell are the only bits you do remember? Then I got to this one...

If you don’t remember why you are handcuffed to the bench at the police station after being arrested…you just might be an addict.

Ha ha.

You might have a problem…
if you have ever thought jail was a good place to think and take a vacation.
if the only way to get out of bed is to get high with whatever is left over from the night before.
if you drove better while under the influence.
if all you can eat buffet sounds good at 4 am.
if skipping sleep for 3 days, seems like a good way to get stuff done.
if vitamin C works best in handfuls.
if you like to wear sunglasses at night while you are driving.
if you keep a log of your using and descriptions of how great each day was based on the drugs you are taking.
if your best artwork or music is always when you are high and you have nothing else to show for yourself.
if all you’re friends use and anyone that does not use or drink you avoid.
if your dread sunlight.
if your last sandwich was bologna with two slices of bread (and nothing more) and it was soooo good.
if you idea of spirituality is talking to other homeless people talking about how great it is to be free and how ****** up the world is (and how great you are).
if you are trying to kill yourself slowly and surely.
if you crack open a beer early in the morning and say it's noon somewhere.
if you discover that Ping Pong balls can get you high and you start stashing them because you might run low.
if you're deliriously happy about that bong that you got from a friend for your birthday.
if you get happy over your next prescription refill.

You might be a newcomer….
If you’ve ever considered getting loaded because the insanity inside the rooms seems so much worse than the insanity of getting loaded.
If you’ve ever received word that your boyfriend was sleeping with your sponsee, and both will still not cop to it.
If you’ve ever had sexual relations with someone in the rooms who is known as less-than-desirable, and say, "i was soooo tired" (instead of "i was soooo drunk/high/loaded/cracked out, etc") to cover for yourself.
If you use your clean time to justify your last relationship (i.e., I only had 43 days when we hooked up).
If you’ve ever slept with someone only to find out the two of you had slept with enough people who’d slept with each other that you’ve pretty much been sleeping together for years.
If you’ve ever attended a certain midnight recovery meeting for the sole purpose of getting some action.
If you’ve ever been given or have offered a "back rub" to get to know each other better.
If you’ve walked into a meeting and been faced with the last 4 people you’ve slept with and at least 2 of them are sitting with their current partners.
If a trying to make a 9th step amends has ever turned into you sleeping with the person.
If you’ve ever actually drawn out a diagram of the people you and your best friend have both slept with to see the overlaps.

You might be an addict…

If you have a variety of mirrors but don't use them to look at yourself, you might be an addict.
If your idea of taking a vacation involves barricading yourself in the closet with as many drugs as you can find, you might be an addict.
If you have ever tried to save money by buying something that was advertised "Two for one" but were not in a store at the time, you might be an addict.
If your closest friends consist of anybody who is still in the bar at 2am, you might be an addict.
If you have ever said to someone that your just going for a walk and not made it back for a few weeks, you might be an addict.
If you believe that there is a magical formula for staying high 24 hours a day, you might be an addict.
If you have only gotten jobs that did not have mandatory drug testing, you might be an addict.
If your idea of taking a scenic drive involves looking for good places to have a 'kegger', you might be an addict.
If you have ever tried making your own drugs because you owe money to all your dealers, you might be an addict.
If you have thought that if you could substitute one for another without the same consequences, you might be an addict.

You might be an internet addict if…
You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor.com
You turn off your modem and get this empty feeling, like you just pulled the pin on a loved one.
You start introducing yourself as "Jon at AOL dot com"
Your wife drapes a blonde wig over your monitor to remind you of what she looks like.
All of your friends have an @ in their names.
You can't call your mother...she doesn't have a modem.
Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.
You laugh at people with 14,400 baud modems.
You move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you landscape.
You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.
You tell the cab driver you live at www.1208Mainstreet/3rdhouse/bluetrim
Your spouse makes a new rule: "The computer cannot come to bed."
You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a commode.
You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :^)
You turn on your computer, and turn off your spouse.
Your best friend is someone you've never met.
Your spouse says communication is important in a marriage...so you buy another computer, and install a second phone line so you can chat.
You begin to wonder how on earth your service provider is allowed to call 200 hours per month "unlimited."
Your dog has its own blog.

If the only thing left in the house to write with is the inside of pens you might be an addict.
