Do you suffer from an addiction? Are you pre-disposed?
I recently came across a website (might have been a blog, I don't remember) that listed new addictions. I also heard a radio story on it. Here's the list -
Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD)
Youtube Addiction Disorder (YAD)
Google Search Addiction Disorder (GSAD)
Widget Addiction Disorder (WAD)
Twitter Addiction Disorder (TAD)
Blackberry Addiction Disorder (BAD)
Mac Addiction Disorder (MAD)
I don't know about you, but we have identified some addictions from observations made in our home. Here they are,
DVR Addiction Overload Disorder (DAOD) - Recording 10 hours of TV in one day that you plan to fit into 1 hour at night. Something inherently wrong there, hmmm....
Potato Chip Withdrawl - Okay this isn't a disorder, but it is still going on around here...
Wii Addiction disorder (WiiAD) - 'nuff said. See my earlier Wii addiction post.
Bargain Addiciton Disorder - This is when you buy stuff because it is a "good deal" without any real use for it.... It doesn't really happen around here, just sayin...
How about you? What disorders are you currently facing in your home?

Congratulations on being queen for a day! I suffer from CSA - Craft Supply Addiction. Oh and I've been know to request caffeine in IV form, so I guess that counts too.
Im having a lazy addiction disorder!
Hmmmm...wouldn't it be easier if they just diagnosed people with "Addiction Disorder?" :P
I have had FAD for a year now! Definitely blogging of course and obsessively checking my sitemeter to see how many visitors I get. Wouldn't it be awesome to have an addiction to working out and healthy eating, LOL, I crack myself up.
FAD is in the house! Have a wonderful day!
FAD, TAD and BAD.

Happy SITS day!
I'm definitely guilty of some of those.
Girl, you are funny. But, I think an intervention is in order...
We don't have a Wii or a DS or a DVR... but we do have Netflix and often I get quite twitchy while I'm waiting for my next DVD to arrive. So I can kinda relate. Is that NAD? (Netflix Addiction Disorder)
Happy SITS Day!

Stopping by from SITS. Congratulations on being a featured blogger. I have an ice cream addiction. Every time I want something sweet I always have a craving for ice cream.
Happy Sits day!! :) Oh man, I suffer from quite a few of these addictions and more. Chocolate addiction, blog reading addiction(BRA...loved that from an earlier commenter) and Reality show addictions...like Hell's Kitchen, The Next Food Network Star...sigh.... I'm a walking addict and I must come to grips with it. Thanks for giving me some starting points!
We are definitely GSAD and MAD around here! Hilarious post! Why didn't think of it!
Oh we're definitely addicted over here... mine is CHOCOLATE.

Visiting from SITS! Happy SITS day!
I have WAD - Widget Attention Disorder!

I second the above comment. =) All other addictions I currently possess pale in comparison!
CAD = Coffee Addiction Disorder
CAD = Chocolate Addiction Disorder
BAD = Blogging Addiction Disorder

I think everything is some sort of disorder or "syndrome" these days. Don't worry. I'm sure the pharmaceutical companies will come up with a pill for what ails you soon ;)

I think I have a lot of addictions... first coffee, then blog, then facebook, then blackberry... oh, and I'm also addicted to my son! He's the best! :) Love your post!
So funny! And yes, I have a few of those addictions, plus an addiction to using spray paint for trash to treasure projects. Hope the fumes aren't killing too many brain cells!
oh, i totally am a bejeweled-blitz-aholic, which is a byproduct of FAD.
i'm a hopeless case, too. there are no 12-step programs for this one.
Happy SITS day! Playing catch-up here. My addiction is iced green tea-I should live to be 120!
Happy belated SITS day, this was hilarious! My husband fully suffers from BAD and I fully plan to tell him that! :)
I have several afflictions that need good acronyms.
I LOVE it when SITS features bloggers I already know and enjoy.
Sorry I missed your day.
I was out of town!
I hope it was great fun.
Congrats on being featured. You SO deserve it.
BSD....yes I know what that sounds like but really it's baby show disorder. I cannot stop watching baby shows.
happy sits day. i have a blog addiction.
Great post, I'm a TAD, WiiAD, DietCokeAd and BlogAD.
Wow, I have alot of these, lol. Here are mine:
FAD
GSAD
WAD
TAD
SPAD (an addiction to my smartphone)
Funny post! Happy SITS!
wow. I have a lot of issues haha ewwwww yikes!!
I've got the Bargain Addiction Disorder - mine comes in the form of garage sales, thrift stores, and flea markets. Can't get enough.
Uh oh... I have too many. I better get a notebook. LOL
I SO have BAD. WTH is that, anyway?? Ugh. My husband always says, "It's not a bargain if we don't need it."
Happy SITS Day!
WWTTAD - Wondering Where the Teens Are Disorder and why the house is so darn quiet. Congrats on being a SITS blog.
I'll take your FAD and one up you, MWAD (Mafia Wars Addiction Disorder). I've also been developing some FVAD (Farmville Addiction Disorder). I never play video games, except on Facebook and they aren't even particularly fun games!
Definitely got a little FAD going on. There is a sub-category of FAD for looking at people's pictures. Oh, and what about randomly looking for funny or odd videos on You Tube?
My husband suffers from Blackberry Addiction Disorder - most definitely. He now has TWO, and either one or both are constantly giving off one alert or another. So far I have managed to stay away from Facebook, though I'm pretty sure it'll be a huge problem for me if I ever do sign up. Which is why I haven't.
Stopping by from SITS, a little late!
I definitely suffer from blog addiction disorder. And, I never was much for texting or my cell phone, but over the last few weeks,as my life has been in upheaval, I have my phone on me ALL the time. There's always someone checking in. So there you have it, BLAD (blog) and BAD (blackberry). I like your WiiAD. I think my son has that for sure!
