Cure For Blog Addiction

If you haven't read my post about Signs of blog addiction then you probably want to read it first before proceeding any further. Anyways, as we all know, if there is an addiction, their is always a cure. Though its not medically known there is such thing as a addiction (blog addiction). I'll just give you a food for thought for those who have a relative, close friend, or other person you might know. This is just the result of my search for holy grail of cure for blog addiction (chuckles). anyways, I'll give you know the list. enjoy.

Twelve Steps To Blog Addiction Recovery (BAR)

There is no cure for Blog Addiction. But there is recovery. We call this process Blog Recovery Basics (BRB) fueled by our unique 12 step program:

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addiction - that our blogs had become unmanageable
2. Came to believe that a Sys Admin greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
3. Made a decision to turn our blogs, logins and passwords over to a trusted third party
4. Made a searching and fearless content inventory of our blogs
5. Admitted to Bloglines, to Feedburner and Technorati being the exact nature of our overposting
6. Were entirely ready to have the RSS and Atom feeds removed from our sites
7. Humbly asked our blogroll to remove links to us
8. Made a list of all blogs we had linked, and became willing to delete them all
9. Made chmods to our directories wherever possible
10. Continued to take content inventory and when we were tempted to blog, promptly admitted it
11. Sought through coffee and Tivo to improve our time offline and resolved to not check our Technorati rankings more than once a day
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Some of these things might be very difficult for you to do, especially no#7 ,#8.(delete all). Its like going back in the stone age, or breathing without oxygen, blogging alone (more crazy). If you have anymore suggestions or addition to these, please contact your psychologist or just comment here.
