Addictions

I'm addicted to Guitar Hero. I tried. I tried really hard to avoid the addiction. But I couldn't. Chad and I now play late into the evening - sometimes as late as ten o'clock! A whole hour past my bedtime! This is significant. I don't give up my early bedtime for anyone or anything.

And I've given up my bedtime to sit in front of the television, mash buttons, and blink a total of seven times per hour. By the time I get to bed, my contacts feel like little discs of sand, my hand is cramped, and I'm grumpy because I've just lost twelve songs in a row. But I keep going back for more.

My name is Danielle, and I'm addicted to video games. Contact me for further information on how to start a support group in your local area.
