CCers Anonymous

<p>My name is yemaya13, and I have a problem. I am addicted to CC. Every day, I come home to this forum, my bloodshot eyes moving back and forth across the screen until I have read each article that interests me.</p>

<p>For the past week, I have refrained from posting. It has been hard, but it is an important step in my process of ending my addiction. We need this support group to help us end our dependence on CC. We must join together to overcome our obsession with this forum!</p>

<p>12 Step Program… (add on)</p>

<p>1.) Acknowledge that you have a problem</p>

<p>That was my first post since the 1st:eek:!!! I feel so much better now:p! My addiction is coming back even stronger than it was before…</p>

<p>Give into the Dark Side of the Force. What problem?</p>

<p>(Ooops. Hi, Moderator Obiwan…nothing personal.)</p>

<p>yemaya13 - I missed you. I was beginning to worry. My only consolation was presuming that you must have been on spring vacation.</p>

<p>my name is jmmom and I am in denial. I am no help to you yemaya. You should not consort with other addicted individuals, such as me.</p>

<p>However, I do have my average daily posts down below 9.0 average. Aiming for below 8.0. I do NOT have to go cold turkey! I can control this!</p>

<p>I know. I’m so addicted. It’s killing me. I’ll be free in the summer time though cuz I won’t be here. Until then…we can do nothing but suffer. :(</p>

<p>And I missed you too yemaya! It’s too bad we can’t stay in touch with that color board.</p>

<p>My name is MOWC and I am a College Confidential Addict. I have been known to spend parts of my workday on CC, especially when I am on a long, boring conference call. Fortunately, D is in college and S goes to boarding school, otherwise they would need to be in a co-addict support group because I would drive them crazy. I went on a mission trip to Roatan and actually went to the internet cafe several times, allegedly to check my work email, but really to make sure I hadn’t missed anything major on CC.</p>

<p>Who me addicted??? </p>

<p>I 'm just close to my family. That’s all . So what if we talk numerous times a day? Look at how much money we are saving on the phone bills. 3 Cheers to Marite for letting us know if Soozie is still in Vt as she’s been all over the place lately.</p>

<p>So what, we got names like lefthandofdog, momowildchild, momoftwo, momofthree, we gotta keep everyone straight. There are days that we can be a bit of a curmudgeon, other days we dig media we slugg around and we ban be happy as a bugg in a rug. </p>

<p>Our moms Dream, are Little, look to the North Star, C angels, got wicked backhandgrips can, SB, Jami, and Jm with the best of them. If you don’t watch your step, you’ll get her rath. Thedad just watches it all play out. Sometimes he’s reasonable, other tmes concerned.There are times he wants to be the Courer, but he’s always in the Driver’s seat.</p>

<p>There’s nothing better than A chat that’s informative when we go see Carolyn who loves to hang Garland everytime we visit the Emerald Kity. </p>

<p>So, who’s addicted again???</p>

<p>sybbie - “All My Family” reality TV script in the making.</p>

<p>All My Family</p>

<p>You can have credit for the color scheme :slight_smile: :cool:</p>

<p>Somewhere in our story line will have to be wedding consultants who had senioritis, that have hooks and still know what it takes to be cool.</p>

<p>Hey look at the money we could make as a collaborative effort. We’ll put every one through college</p>

<p>Don’t forget the selective parties and the hooks and stats required. The Donald and Martha wouldn’t even make the guest lists. Thinking of inviting Susan Lucci (All My “Children”) though.</p>

<p>Loved your post Sybbie!! Agree about everything…!</p>

<p>Addicted? No way. I just … uh… I research … uh … for my daughter …yeah, my busy daughter… yeah, that’s the ticket.</p>

<p>And … I just want to reach that 300 post mark so I won’t be a “junior member” any more … then I’ll … do some more research…</p>

<p>I was doing slightly better staying away until this wonderful looooong month of March. I have had 2 years in a row of this so I am a CC addict, but when child #2 is settled, I will become a part time consult.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well I am not Marite, but I can tell you that I met SoozieVt IRL today and we had a nice lunch together. She is very cool :cool:</p>

<p>TheDad, I must not give into the Dark Side. We should all band together to stop posting. We could kill the forum!</p>

<p>jmmom, good job with getting below 9. My post count is below 5/day, but only because this is my 3rd post since the 1st! u r :cool:^3 b cuz f ur pst count! BTW, I will be away from CC from the 25th until the 1st, just in time to see results of CCers! Next year I will probably miss seeing the letter come for Carolyn’s D! :(</p>

<p>HEY, SARORAH! I miss our thread! I should have printed it out before it was deleted! :frowning:</p>

<p>MOWC, we can overcome our problem together!</p>

<p>sybbie, have you taken your meds today?:wink: ROFLMAC (do you know what this means?)</p>

<p>Maize&Blue, do you think that my chances at selective parties have decreased because of my break from posting??? I still spent a good amount of time reading posts this week!!!</p>

<p>achat, we need to have a chat about…what was I going to say to you again?</p>

<p>fireflyscout, you need to reread the first post

</p>

<p>arizonamom, if you wait another year, you will be so addicted that you’ll stay on CC until you are in your seventies! Stop now!</p>

<p>DrDrewsmom, I want to meet the Soviet Soozie, too! We need an :envy: smilie!</p>

<ol>
<li>Acknowledge you have a problem</li>
<li> Accept that nobody is perfect, especially yourself</li>
<li> Forgive yourself</li>
<li> Keep posting on CC</li>
</ol>

<p>Yemaya, you must give in, it is in your blood. You are really adopted. Your birth name was Skywalker. You must give in to the Dark Side.
Post, post, and post some more. Or see SBMom’s advice…what the heck.</p>

<p>Wow! I am new. My daughter doesn’t have time either. I justify my addiction by telling myself I am researching for my daughter. It started with the MIT admission blogs. a few references to CC and I got hooked. I am happy I found this group. It’s reassurig that I am not the only one.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Rubbing the crust out of my eyes rolling on the floor laughing my a* off, * I have found that </p>

<p>I don’t need no doctor
Filling me up with all those pills
Got me some CC friends & that makes me feel good
And Ohhhh, that takes away all of my pain and my ills
My CC is a Dr. Feel Good in the morning time!
</p>

<p>Sing it with me parents :cool:</p>

<p>I am ROFLMAC-ing on the floor right now - when I should be downstairs making brunch!! :)</p>
