Discussing blogging as an addiction may seem odd, but it is possible to become addicted to anything. Addiction is addiction is addiction, regardless of the substance of choice. Can you identify with much of what has been written in this piece? A “Yes” may indicate a need to take a hiatus from the blogosphere for a time. If you are unable to stop blogging, then talking to a professional about this compulsion may be helpful. Underneath an addiction is a whole host of unresolved issues. The addiction just momentarily medicates the pain.

Joanne and Irene,
Thanks for commenting. It's fine if it isn't too popular. Just had the thoughts rattling around in my brain and decide to put it to paper, well put it to the computer screen. I myself am a big fan of chocolate and yes I have been known to eat chocolate while I blog.

I have friends that have so many blogs and are members of twitter and gather and this and that. Basically, I've been replaced by online buddies. It's sad.
