Help! I'm Addicted to Associated Content!

Hard Worker
The amount of Associated Content users are growing at an alarming rate. What's worse, the number of Associated Content addicts is growing and has turned into a major addicted problem in the United States, right behind alcohol and drug use. Here's how to know if you are an addict and how to get help:

Step 1: Admission. The first step is to admit to yourself that you are addicted to Associated Content. Addiction behavior may include but is not limited to any of the following activities: excessive amounts of articles per day, random or useless message board posts, more than 10 article contents per day, staying on the Associated Content website longer than 2 hours a day, making friends on AC instead of in real life, using AC as a primary source of news, ranting and raving about new website features and constantly thinking about what would make for a good AC article in daily events and occurrences. If any of the above have happened to you, then you my friend, are addicted to Associated Content.

Get help: The second step is to seek help and by reading this article you are taking your first steps towards getting the help you need. You will then need to start budgeting your time better and devoting less time to AC each day. Spend less time on chat boards and reading fellow CP articles and concentrate on your own articles instead.

Step 3: Get the rewards: Unlike a drug dealer or alcoholic, your addiction isn't expensive. In fact it can actually be profitable. Make sure you are devoting time to writing your articles but at the same time, you are focusing on things that are important in your life like your day job.
