Hello all! Thank you for joining. I had to start this thread to SPEAK UP. You know, Admitting/Facing the Addiction is one of the steps to the program.

My name is RD and I am a GCholic....

Welcome RefinedDiva and all other GCholics!

Now that we've admitted that we're GCholics, we need to address how it all began...

Remember to state your name and when you became a

GCholic.Who wants to start?

sniff,sniff

I'm so glad this thread is just for me.

*sigh*

My name is tnxbutterfly and I'm a GCholic

It's gotten out of control my addiction. It started back in May of 2000 when I posted under the name prospectiverushee. I thought I had it under control. I was only posting once or twice a day. But now that I've changed my screenname, I'm out of control. I've only had this new screenname since April 18th and I already have 275 posts

Hi everybody!

My name is enlightenment06 and I'm a GCholic.

It started slow at first. I signed up last year but I mostly just looked at other people's posts. Slowly but surely I started to test the waters and start posting myself. Soon it gained momentum. Now I can't stop! I went from around 20-30 posts in my first 9 months to over 100 in the past 6 months. Aahhh, sweet Greekchat...

Hello Txnbutterfly and Enlightenment06 and hello fellow GCholics! My name is Delph998 and I am a GCholic!!!

It all began in 2002; I had a fellow soror that told me about Greekchat. I won't say any names, (cough, cough LADYGREEK), but she told me how great this site was.

I was very shy at first. I started off reading, like most of you. Then one day, I saw a very interesting thread topic and decided that I was ready for the posting world. That was the beginning of the addiction. Ever since, I've been stuck to this monitor like it's my television. I can't leave the house in the morning without checking to see who's posted what. SIDEBAR...I really got addicted when Enlightenment06 said he finds singers sexy!

Anyway...my posts have increased tremendously! Look for yourselves, I have over 400 posts! Help SOMEBODY PULEAZE HELP!

Hello everyone, my name is Gina1201 and I AM a GCaholic!!

I think it started when I registered. I check GC whenever I have a chance: home, work, even on vacation!! I even used to check it during class (MIS) to help me stay awake.

Don't let GC be down. The other day I was so pissed when I could not get on!!

What would I do without GC?

Hi, I'm Sns,

And I used to be a SERIOUS GCaholic! It all began one afternoon (let me stop lying--it was probably like 3am) in Sept. 2000. Sometimes, I would stay up late and see the sun rise, typin a paper (really I would be on GC). I would check GC at school in the computer lab (minimizing my window to be 1/4th of the size of a computer screen, as to use discretion), at work, etc. numerous times a day. Then school (UnderGrad) got entirely too busy

and began taking up all my time...

But now it's the summer, and as I'm not swamped in activities, orgs, and schoolwork (only a little for summer school), I have rekindled that fire that was almost burned out...

So, now all I have to say is, "Did ya miss me?" Oh, I don't care...It's nice to see Sisterfriends "Crossing Over", and new GC Members reaching that 500th post...

***Sniff, Sniff***

I'm glad to be back. I missed y'all!!!!

MattUMASSD · #8 07-04-2003, 08:01 PM

I am addicted. When im at school I really dont have any time to spend time on GC, but now the summer is here I am always checking the message boards.

btb87 · #9 10-15-2003, 05:41 PM

Am I on GC too much? Was anybody else having problems getting on? I started having withdrawal again, and it was not a pretty sight!

I was clicking the "refresh" button every few minutes. Went to another site to see if it was my server. Tried to visit other sites, but they had no appeal.

Oh my God, I really need counseling - IM A GCaHOLIC!

Somebody please help me. . .

Girl, it's not just you!! I was BORED out of my mind at work for 2 hours without GC. I had even tried greekchat.net with no luck!

vanda · #12 10-15-2003, 06:14 PM

I rebooted my computer three times before I finally accepted GC was down. If I don't have celebrity gossip to spread, I"m just no good! If I don't have GC I have to go to other sites to bide my time and that's detrimental to my credit because I will shop online, forgot what I bought and won't pay the . Next thing I know my card has been declined at the most important times ( like buying a last minute mother's day gift). I was already upset because for some reason I'm not receiving the emails we usually get telling us when someone has responded to a thread you have posted on. I gotta get a life

Ideal08 · #13 10-15-2003, 11:28 PM

Suffice it to say I was not happy with it either. But I'm cool now. I took solace in the fact that I knew none of y'all could get on either, so it wasn't like I was missing something.

Virtual Violet · #14 10-16-2003, 12:10 AM

GCoholic!! Guilty as charged!!
