I understand this is going to be a long process but here I go with the first step: admitting the problem. I have an RnR problem. I know I have this problem and I want to get over it.
It all started when I realized that my boss was still waiting for that 1 paragraph document I was supposed to do in December. I told him that I was fixing a problem with the computer and it would take some time. Three months later the callous on my mouse clicking finger was so big that I named it... Craig.
Then I started to notice that when I was talking with my friends about all the cool pop-culture references that define my wittiness, that I would launch into grand stories about penis size and racial tensions and I would spout forth facts that I learned online. That's not so surprising. The scary part is that I would then post an answer to myself and continue doing so in a conversational sort of way. My friends, and the bartender, would cut me off and send me home for the night. They thought it was good for me but instead it sent me into the spiraling fall of needing to know the next statement in a thread started 3 weeks ago. "Will there finally be the last word?" "I don't know!" "I can't take it!" "Someone please post the final word so the rants will end permanently and I can go on with my life."
Nonetheless, that didn't happen. So now I need a quick juice in the morning before work (it used to be only at night with my online friends). And then I need it during the work day. My 3 RnR post lunch has grown to 8. Help, I need help.
I have admitted my problem. Now I must go onto step 2, seeking help.
