THE LIFE OF A CHAT ADDICT

Words of Wisdom: They say that the only way to treat addiction is to admit that you are indeed addicted to it.

1st Stage: Denial

Well, I am not a chat addict. I only ranked #19 at the last #up chat stats held from June 17 to June 24, 2002. I am no addict.

There are 18 more people up above me who are more addicted to chat than me, that's a blessing---di ba? Di ba?!!

2nd Stage: Frustration

I still refuse to admit that I am a chat addict. There's no way I am an addict.

I tried weed but I was never hooked on it. I can last three months without touching any alcoholic stuff...even isopropyl alcohol!!

Heck! I'm so clean even my sex life does not exist! I am so darn good, I'm a candidate for sainthood.

There is no way I can be addicted to chat! Is there such as thing as being addicted to chat in the first place?

3rd Stage: Anger

Want me to prove I am not a chat addict?! Fine! I'll delete my mIRC! I won't even touch BitchX!!! I will never set foot on #up chatroom ever again!

I'm gone...pffffftt!

Kink_gurl you no longer exist.

4th Stage: Hopelessness (also known as Withdrawal Syndrome)

OK, it has been a week and I am sane.

Siguro puede akong sumilip lang sa #up at #peyups...tutal silip lang naman eh. Tapos alis ako kaagad. Download ko nga ulit yun mIRC.

5th Stage: Confusion

Now, how to get work done around here is another problem...AAAARRRGGHHH! Burahin ko na ulit mIRC ko!!!

Kink_gurl's aliiiiiivvve!! She's aliiiiiivvvveee!!!

Must stop typing...can't stop! Can't stop!

6th Stage: Acceptance

I am using both BitchX and mIRC to chat. I am an addict.

And the cycle continues...
