Hi. My name is Katya and I'm a DrawSomethingoholic. Part drew. I mean two
Hi. My name is Katya and I'm still a DrawSomethingoholic.
My plea for help backfired. Instead of finding support and getting help by sharing my addiction problem, I got more draw buddies. it appears that plea was received as an open invitation to all to add me as a draw buddy. Some have even tried to convince me that it's not addictive, it's just quality time spent with friends and even educational. But I see it in their eyes and hear it in their tone, they too are showing signs of addiction. Since I can't rely on friends for support anymore, I need to get out of it myself and I can maybe help others others recognize the signs of addiction too.
You know your addicted to DrawSomething when:
1) You've started using the word Drawsome to describe any type of excitement. "OMG! that was the most drawsome concert evah!"
2) You've drawn all the words in the game, three times and can now do them with your eyes closed and using your tongue
3-a) You've stopped texting or phoning your friends. You are to busy drawing for them. Besides you can send up to 100 character messages while playing. Two birds with one stone
3-b) You just got a sudden urge to draw a picture of two birds with one stone
3-c) If you do text them, it's to send them a photo of a drawing you are having difficulty guessing and need their help with
4) You haven't watched your favourite late-night tv show for a while. You turn it on, but never look up at the tv or pay attention to it
5) You've ordered a fancy stylus online
6) You choose the coffee shop with the longest line-up so you can draw while you wait to order and wait for your order
7) You dream in cartoons and stick men
8) You catch yourself chanting "Just one more round" without ever stopping
9) You check your phone every minute to see if there's a drawsome drawing waiting for you
10) You pretend to go to the washroom at the office when in reality you go hide in a stall to get your fix. Just one more round.
If you find yourself in any of the above situations, you need help.
