CC Anonymous - I need help!

<p>D leaves for school in 10 days and my next S has 4 years to go before the selection process begins in earnest.</p>

<p>BUT, I am still reading CC. Breaks between projects at work, while checking email, reading online news… I tried to stop cold turkey on my own, but it just didn’t work. I need to get on with my life and not worry about the rising seniors, searching for admission to Ivies, or what are the best state Universities…</p>

<p>This has to stop. Someone must know the 12 steps of CC Anonymous. (Of course, those that truly do know are no longer on the board.)</p>

<p>Please suggest the 12 steps for me.</p>

<p>Help, please!</p>

<p>I’m afraid there’s no cure. No method has been proven to work yet. I’m patiently waiting for them to discover a cure to this disease.</p>

<p>UMDAD,
I admit I had the same problem when my daughter was a senior in 2003. My solution has been to not fight the admissions helping urge but just to find other students. So far, I have been successful in finding at least one or two students every year. This year it’s been my own son, and I have a rising junior who’s next on the list. heh, heh</p>

<p>There was a thread on this topic a while back, with many helpful suggestions as well as many other confessions.</p>

<p>You could confine yourself to answering questions about the school your kid attends. Or limit yourself to a few minutes a day. Or both.</p>

<p>Or just give up.</p>

<p>Not that easy! Ever since I graduated from high school (and I graduated in April) I’ve taken to spending 6-7 hours a day on CC. :eek:
I don’t even watch TV anymore! :eek:</p>

<p>Ugh. I need to go to college soon.</p>
