Hello, my name is Ricardo, and I am an MFP addict.

The last website I visited before going to sleep for as long as I can recall this year was MFP. I was too tired to read all the new posts, last night, but I read some. After less than 6hrs of sleep, the first thing I did was grab my smartphone and look at MFP. I wasn't even awake enough to undertand some of the wittiest posts. I came downstairs, turned my PC on, and started brewing my coffee. My home page came on even before my first cup, and if you didn't guess it by now, my home page is MFP. My browser can load multiple home pages at once... but I only have the one home page. At work, I take my breaks by looking at MFP. On particularly heavy days, or when bosses are around and I can't log on, I wonder what is going on.... on MFP. And as soon as I can, one of the first things I do when I get out of work is...MFP.I am addicted:sad: , and this is my first step, I admit it.

Now, it's your turn. Share with the group about YOUR MFP addiction and take the first step too.:laugh:

    When I wake up, and turn the PC on, open my google chrome..
    MFP pops as it's my homepage lol I spend hours on here, and it really motivates me. I love looking though the message boards. If I'm not spending all my time on here, it's doing house work when it needs it, or the PS3 lol

    I use MFP all day at work... When I walk away from my desk, I use MFP on my cell.
    Sadly, I am an addict.

    When it feels this good, how could it be wrong?!?!

    I turn my phone on first thing in the morning to check here. Then I get the kids breakfast.

    You're only addicted if you start meeting chicks on here.

    I find it very disheartening when I log on (again and again) and none of my friends have posted an update. I expect everyone to be as insane about checking in as I am!:laugh:

    ^^ Oops... that makes me double addicted... to logging on MFP and hooking up with chicks on MFP.

    Gotta say, it really isn't a bad addiction. LOL

    Yes, admitting it is the first step to what I dont know lol but I wake up and before I even get out of bed I check my phone, then I have my phone on and get my coffee, and log on pc and then check all the forum posts I couldnt see on my phone. I am forever reading and logging into my mfp on my phone when I am out and when I am home am on the pc with it on always (yes set as my home page too), I go to bed at night and if I have to go tinkle well I check the phone before I do at least 3 or 4 times a night. My name is Laura and I am an MFP addict.

    Hi Ricardo!
    Im Julie and I, too, am an MFP addict. As soon as my alarm goes off in the morning, I check MFP. Not even out of bed yet. And last night, I was taking a hot bath and feel asleep with my phone while checking MFP. When I woke up, I was relieved my phone didnt fall in the water because *gasp* what would I do without easy MFP access!?? :blushing:

    Busted! lol

    My MFP addiction has officially beaten out my Facebook addiction. If they ever add an IM feature I'm doomed.

    Hi my name is Karen and I too am a MFP addict. Its a good thing this is a free site or I would be homeless and having DT'S. Its the first and last thing I do everyday. Someone set up a site geared towards recovery OK. I cant because Im too busy checking MFP.

    So I had insomnia last night:grumble: . I was laying in my bed for a couple of hours NOT sleeping in the dark, and what is going on in my mind... I wonder what is going on at MFP?... SO, I grab my phone and click on my convenient MFP icon. This addiction is crazy.:laugh: :tongue:
