Say it with me now,
“Hi my name is (your name here), and I’m addicted to Netflix.”
The first step is to admit you have a problem. For those of you still in denial, here is a list of symptoms you may be experiencing:
1. Binge watching is not a hobby, it’s a way of life.
2. You believe you can be a surgeon, survive in prison, or scheme against the Bart Bass' of the world because you’ve watched one too many episodes of your favorite show consecutively.
3. You bring your phone in the shower with you because you can't stand to miss a single moment. Thank god for LifeProof cases… and plastic bags.
4. When you actually watch TV, you’re outraged when a commercial comes on.
5. You are currently bumming Netflix off of someone else.
6. You finish each episode with, “Ok just one more.”
7. You’d rather watch Netflix than have any sort of real human interaction.
8. You have replaced real TV with your Netflix account.
10. When you’re actually doing school work, your computer screen is split between Netflix and Microsoft Word.
11. You're always in a hurry to skip the 15 seconds between episodes. This way you don’t have time to contemplate actually doing life.
12. You’re starting to think, “Who actually needs sleep?”
I am here to assure you that you are not alone. There is strength in numbers and together we can overcome this bittersweet addiction. Now that you know the signs, a recovery is in your future.... after one more episode.
