My name is Michael the Monster and I'm an ACoholic.
Here is our sad story. We have spent all our money (and lots more that we don't have) on a place in AC. People don't realize that when they are really addicted, it forces them to continue working to earn the money to pay for the terrible slavery to this need.
I want you all to realize that, if we were free of this addiction, we could just quit our jobs and drink ourselves silly, like normal people. But we all must continue in the frightening work thing, day after day, doing things that are really disgusting like getting up early, going to the office, designing systems, going to meeting, till we get enough money to get another fix. And it won't stop there...
Just remember the four signs of our addiction:
"I can take AC or leave it alone."
"I only do it for the pleasure, I'm not really addicted."
"I can stop going to AC any time I want."
"Just one more trip won't hurt."
