-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. |

| Disposable Hero | 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.

| Disposable Hero | 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.
