Default I need help!

I have just come to realize that I need help. Yes, I have become a CF junkie and I am finding it harder each day to tear myself away from the computer.

So I checked in with CF Anonymous and I am starting their 12-step program. The booklet says that the first step to a successful recovery is to turn off the computer and go drive your Vette.

Wish me luck, here I go….

I'm safe....I just got back from driving my Vette. Blue skies....80 degrees....it couldn't be nicer (a far cry from the snow we had about a week ago).

You suffer from 'forumchondria.' There is truly no known cure to medical science. You were correct in that driving one's C6 will provide 'temporary' relief, however, in that driving your C6 is addictive in and of itself, the medical establishment does not deem it a "cure."

We can perform a forced intervention and invoke aversion therapy. It will involve connecting your computer mouse and/or keyboard to an electrical outlet so that you will receive a jaw-knocking jolt of electrical current with each click of the mouse. A repeated application of this procedure has been found to provide an effective deterrent to prolonged computer use and forum inter-action. Support the National Society for the Prevention of Forumchondria (I believe they have a web site).

the "cure" is to be real obnoxious on the forum and you will be "cured" by Grumpy or one of the other moderators.

Yes, I've also been getting this strange feeling from time to time that I should just move some of my stuff into the C6 and live there.
