I'm a total TV addict. I have to have it on even when I'm not watching it.It started when I was little. I was home alone a lot. It was kind of comforting. Like having someone home with you. Anyway I log a disgusting amount of hours a day with the TV on. Basically I turn it on in the morning when I get up and it's on until I go to bed. My son is 10 now and I've noticed him doing it as well. Is there a TVaholics anonymous? lol

lol If it were as easy as that it wouldn't be an addiction.And going to a group where people’s lives have been ruined by their addictions seems a little wrong. I can only imagine what those people would think/say about my little problem. I think I'd need support not ridicule. lol

The only real experience I've had was with this jerk I got when I called to get help for my first husband's drug problem.
Even though I'd been clean for a number of years he kept telling me I needed to got to meetings because I would "slip" there was no way without the meetings I could make it. And I need to go because how could I live with myself for abusing my body for so long. and a bunch of other BS so I'm leery of AA and NA to begin with. I've never been to a meeting but if that's the kind of crap they preach no wonder people have such a hard time staying sober. If it's not an was just that one jerk opinion they should be more careful about who they allow on the phones. lol
Incidentally I have been clean since Oct 31st 1993. Never "slid" or relapsed or whatever you want to call it.
And congrats on your sobriety. -
Well I'm making some progress. I've been waiting longer to turn the TV on in the morning. The other day it wasn't on until almost 11:30 am. And I think weekends are going to be good progress days. Since there isn't anything on to watch anyway. lol I won't be missing anything. Today I watched about 30 mins of news and it's now 10:15. Normally the TV would have been on for almost 3 hours already.I don't know if you guys care or not, but I'll make myself feel better and pretend you do. lol

You got me wrong my husband continued to use the whole time we were together. It was one of the reasons I left him. He just couldn't see any reasons to quit. I don't believe he uses now with his current life, but I can't honestly say I care either.

Things are terrific. I've been remarried for over 4 yrs to a wonderful man. We have just been approved for a loan to buy a 2400 sqft 3 bd, 2 1/2 bth w/ a loft. Escrow should close on the 29th and we should be able to move in before the end of the yr. I also have a 8 month old baby as well as a great son from my dead beat ex husband.
I couldn't ask for more. Well I could but it wouldn't be right. lol
