Today on the Blogger Talk Blogger Forum, Avril Brand asked “Is there a blog for people who need help because blogging is addictive?” I thought that maybe I should start a Bloggers Anonymous support group. I Googled “Bloggers Anonymous” and found Bloggers Anonymous. Bloggers Anonymous is a 12 step program designed to combat Blog Addiction.
I looked at the check list found at mpdailyfix.com, and I checked out “You know you are addicted to blogging when.” It is safe to say I’m not addicted. I don’t think I need a support group just yet. I know the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem, but I’m really not addicted to blogging.
I know that I’ve said “I so gotta blog that.”
- I wake up, log on my computer and check for blog comments.
- I comment on other blogs daily.
- I administrate my own blogging community.
- I have 959 (make that 960) posts on my blog.
- I help out at Blogger Help Group where Blogger Employees have made me a Blog Star.
That does not make me blogging addicted. I don’t have any symptoms of Blogaholism. It’s not like I post more than twice a day like some bloggers. (Noticed I did not mention names? You know who you are.)
The Middlewesterner has some suggestion on how your love ones can help you if you are addicted. Blog addiction Cures.
Be sure to read the 12 Step Program to Managing a Blogging Addiction.
The Composed Gentlemen blogs has created the Blue-Blooded Blogger badge. The Blue-Blooded Blogger (BBB) badge shows passion and love for blogging and everything related to it.
How addicted to blogging are you? Do you have an addiction?
By the way: Did you stumble this post?
I’m not addicted I tell you. Well time to run. I have things to do and I’m running late because I was blogging.
I’m not a blog addict. I really have no idea what this blog addiction is all about. I wonder if they sell a patch?

Rose, your post today really hit home with me. I’ve been wondering about myself. First thing every morning, I log in and check MY blog; then everyone else’s blog (hense, my visit here) and during the day, when my husband is talking to me, I’m wondering if he will EVER say anything BLOG WORTHY. Then, I stay up til the wee hours, doing more of the same thing.
Uh………I can’t attend bloggers annonymous though, it would take time away from blogging.

I don’t think I quite that addicted yet, but I know a few bloggers who could use the Support Group.

Not.
As in not addicted.
Today is the first time in a while that I checked into other blogs… not enough time.
I pre-post content sometimes on my blogs so that regular visitors will have something to read or see.
On one of my blogs, I have almost 6000 posts, but I’ve only written less than 10 of them. (The rest is public domain material from the 1800s)
I’ve considered stopping blogging altogether because it conflicts with other things, but that’s something I’ve decided to put off until at least the end of the year.

Thanks for citing my Blue-Blooded Blogger badge (BBBB) on your post. Blogging is really addictive, especially when you start to gain readers and meet friends online. I could classify myself as a blog addict. I maintain about 10 blogs and it is just fulfilling to this every single day
