Addictions

I never thought I had an addictive personality, but my friends and family feel otherwise. I call my self...well-rounded. I have a full-time job, three active kids, a busy husband, amazing friends, a writing career, a cake decorating hobby-sometimes-business, an over-flowing library of books, and love, love, love to hostess any and all events, parties, holidays, get-togethers...you name it. I take on a lot but like to do a lot. Addicted? No. Busy? Yes. 

To me, an addiction is one thing you simply can't live without. I don't...oh, wait. Well, chocolate doesn't count, right? It's not like I HAVE to have it, but it is nice to have a delectable morsel(s) after a meal. And if there isn't any chocolate in the house (like I would ever allow that to happen) I have been known to break out the flour and sugar and lemon and whip up some other satisfying dessert. (Lemon squares anyone? Butterscotch oatmeal cookies will suffice too). So, see? I'm not a chocolate addict.

And reading. No, I'm not addicted. Just because I hide my paperback, Kindle, iPad or iPhone (yeah, I read on that, too) when my husband comes in the house and pretend like I'm straightening the couch cushions doesn't mean I have a reading problem. Reading over 150 books last year means I'm well read, not addicted.

Facebook? No, I can totally go a day or two without creeping, I mean reading posts and posting pictures. Instead I'll cruise through Twitter or TSU or Google my favorite authors and read their blogs. Nope. No technology addictions either. 

Pinterest, you ask? Yeah, well. We won't talk about that one.

So I guess it depends on your definition of addiction. The word is so harsh. It's not like I'd go bat a$$ crazy if I was stranded on a deserted island and didn't have my chocolate or sweets, or have a book to read, or social media. Nope. I'd be perfectly...oh son of a nutcracker! 

Know of a good therapist?

Addictions can be due to many reasons and we need to make sure that we don't do anything like it again. It won't have any effect on us and we need to understand this.
