Admiting The Problem Is The First Step

“Hi, my name is Brooke and I’m addicted to celebrity news.”

I don’t know how things got this bad…it started out innocently enough when I was in high school watching “Entertainment Tonight” and “A Current Affair.” My dad would even watch them with me…it was a way for us to bond. Then, as I got older and with the internet became more and more prevalent, I now have so many ways to score celebrity news, its disgusting.

My typical day is goes something like this. I come home from work and read dlisted and E Online. Then I read people.com, us weekly.com, and tmz.com. By that time, E News comes on the air at 6:00p.m. followed by “The Daily 10.” Jesus, I can’t get enough.

By the time TMZ comes on Fox at 9:30p.m., I’m already shaky and sweating. That calms me down and I go on to watch “Chelsea Lately” at 10:00p.m. were she TALKS about celebrities (okay, makes fun of them) and then I head off to dreamland.

I think I may have to slowly wean myself because there is no way I can go cold turkey. Maybe I can find a support group online. Your prayers and support are needed during this critical time.

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
