Support Group Junkie

Lately, I've been looking into more groups on DS, and commenting more than I really have time for. The more I see, and engage in it, the more I like it. Then I get curious about what is going on with certain topics, so I keep popping back in.

On a different group, I read in an unrelated thread this phrase, "Support Group Junkie". It jumped out at me, and made me wonder how I will know if I am becoming one? DS is the only support forum I've ever been on, but I'm finding it more, and more interesting and helpful all the time.

Thanks!

If you have trouble sleeping because you think you're missing out on something that happens here, you're a junkie.

If you plan your RL activities around whether or not you're going to be online, you're a junkie.

If you sprint to the bathroom as fast as possible so that you can get back to your computer ASAP, you're a junkie.

If you went one day without your internet/computer and you called up a friend just to go use their computer to get on here, you're a junkie.
