Erm.. hello everyone. My name's Revs and i'm.... *takes deep breath* ...i'm a Spamoholic.
I guess it all started back in spring 2007. It seems so long ago now. I had a problem with my PC and went on the web to look for a solution. After a little sarching I came accross a website, a forum, called nvnews.net, which on the surface seemed to be a collection of friendly, knowledgable people, eiger to share information and help. Huh, at least that's what I thought.
All was going well in my life. I had a good job, a wife, lots of friends and a little cat called Mogz. I was totally content. I joined nvnews with a view to getting help, and helping others where I could. The first few months were fine. Most of my PC problems were being resolved with help from the others on the forum. Then one day I saw a thread out of the corner of my eye that was located in a section called 'Testing 1, 2, 3...'. I was intrigued. Out of pure curiosity I clicked on the thread and started reading. Little did I know that this was... the click of DOOM!
As I read down the page, I realised I had no idea what these people were talking about, but at the same time I found myself unable to stop. It was a thread full of strange, mis-spelled words and nonsensical sentences.
FOUR HOURS later I was on my 27th thread. Franticly reading and responding in the same nonsensical babble, but some how it was making sence to me. Hours turned to days, days to weeks, weeks to months, and here I am now. I've gone from having a happy, successful life, to this. I've lost my job, my wife, my cat, and my few remaining friends sturggle to understand a word i'm saying as many of the words are nonsence, with letters missing or added, jumbled up and even have random numbers here and there. I'm a mess.
But over the last week or so, i've somehow been so overdosed, so overwhelmed with spam that something clicked inside that lump of spicey ham that I call a brain. I come to realise what i've become. I can now admit that I need help. I am a Spamoholic.
I assume you are here for the same reason. You have taken the first, big step and you should be proud. All we need to do is not allow outself to slip back in to that world... that crazy, CRAZY world. I believe with each others help we can go back and rebuild our lives.
Would anyone who is willing, please open your heart and tell us your story. I'm sure these are the first steps to successful recovery. We can and will rid ourselfs or this terrible, terrible affliction.
Anyone.....
