So because I been doing everything in life but updating my blog. I got someone to do my work for me. This blog is for educational purposes. An emergency help dial-in will follow.

I know often you read about people in life who are plagued with addictions of all kinds that they find extremely hard to get over. You watch reality shows about drug addicts trying to make it through rehab in order to be a “functional member of society”. I guess addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Although some may seem easy to break or not worth being discussed, you can never judge until one day your that addict. Good Afternoon, My name is The Golden Child and I am addicted to Sneakers.
Just like Alcoholics Anonymous, we too have a 12 step process we must undergo. This is the 1st step in a 12 step series blog:
Step 1: You must first admit you are powerless over sneakers and that your life has become unmanageable. To do this you must recognize the signs of a sneaker addict, therefore allowing you to see your condition for what it truly is; an addiction.
Some of these signs are easily seen, but some are harder to recognize then others. Or maybe it’s our addiction that blinds us to these signs. Here is a list of common sneaker addict signs.
* If you own enough sneakers to start your own sneaker store, including several you have never even wore, you’re an Addict!!!
* If you spend your last $100 on a pair of sneakers, and eat cup a noodles for a week until your next pay check, you’re an Addict!!!
* If you arrive at a sneaker store before the employees of said sneaker store and then get mad when they won’t let you in right away because they have to set up, you’re an addict.
* If your making a list, and checking it twice, gonna find out which sneakers are wack and which are nice, Your not only an addict, you may possibly be qualified to work in the mall next Christmas.
* If you can make a adult size castle out of your sneaker boxes, you’re an addict
* If you accidentally bought the same pair sneakers twice, you’re an addict
* If you purposely bought the same pair of sneakers twice, you’re an addict
* If you rank your sneakers in order of importance, you’re an addict
* If you ever gave away a pair of brand new sneakers because you got tired of them even before u ever wore them, you're an addict
* If you ever had to call your Asian friend to translate the currency on an overseas website that you were ordering sneakers from because they aren’t made in the U.S., you’re an addict.
* If you ever rummage through your sneaker collection and stumble upon a pair of sneakers and repeat the phrase, “Oh there you are. I was looking for you for a minute”, you’re an addict.
* If you live in a 2 bedroom apartment were 1 bedroom is yours and the other is your sneakers you’re an addict.
* If you read sneaker magazines and have frequent flier miles on sneaker blogs, you’re an addict.
* If the guys in the sneaker stores know who you are and greet you when you walk in like Norm from Cheers, you’re an addict.
* If you know the Name’s of your sneakers and release dates better then the sales associates, you’re an addict.
Now that you’re aware of several sneaker addict signs, it should be easier for you to come to grips with what you are. Believe me I remember the first time I broke free from the denial of my addiction. But before you can rid yourself of any issue, you must first be able to recognize what that issue is. To all my sneaker addicts take things slowly, one sneaker at a time.

Finally, a new post!
Golden Child, add this one to the list:
If your friends need sneakers in their life to stay in yours… You may be an addict.
LOL @ Golden Child. I have to co-sign, you are an addict. No one luvs sneakers as much as you do.
Chris, you're still not off the hook. Write write write!
hmmm its a good job that you have taken the first step in getting help with your addiction.
However why so quick to lable your self an addict rather than a "serious collector."Why lable yor actions as an addiction rather than a hobby???
Nonetheless youve found something that makes you smile more than food. So if this addiction/hobby will keep you from eating your fingers thats totaly fine with me.
On that note...step 2 anyone?
Step 2.... recognize that if you're making excuses for your addiction... ur an Addict.
Addicts tend to justify their addicts. Even after they've eaten PB&J's for three weeks straight but have two pairs of Jordan's in an air-tight suitcase that they never plan on wearing. And the only reason they aren't hearing from the credit card collectors is that their cell phone is turned off.
But they.... i hear some new retro Air Max are coming out. Rent wasn't that important anyway..... eff it... To the mall Batman!!!
