Hi, my name is motely36, and I am a DU addict.
It started out innocently enough a few years ago when someone showed me the top ten list. I tried to read it fairly regularly. By the summer of this year, I couldn't get through my Monday without it. I actually registered about two years ago so that I could donate to DU. I never posted though.
In the days before the election, I started seeing warnings that non-members might not have access to DU because of the high traffic expected. So, I made sure I could still sign in. That's about the time I stumbled across the lounge.
I should have seen the warning signs, but I couldn't stop myself. I made my first seemingly innocent post. And it's been all downhill since then. On election night I was glued to the TV and DU. Posting my emotions here and there throughout the night.
Now two weeks later, I am out of control! I find I have to open DU as soon as I get to work, and a lot of times I keep it minimized on my computer as I pretend to do work. I can't concentrate on anything else. I need to know what's going on at DU at all times.
Please somebody help me. I'm already over 300 posts. Now that may not seem like a lot to some people, but it is for me. I am out of control!
Thats all I have for now. Thanks for letting me share.

7. I could end up the same way |
|
If I had the time to spend here. As it is I can barely peek in every couple of days for a few minutes. But my babies need me. :)
