For anyone who is not familiar with a "12 step program," it's something that is used to help people on the road to recovery from alcohol or drug use. This would be modeled somewhat on that.

1. First, you must realize you have an addiction (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=351329).

2. Realize that you are not alone in your addiction. There are others who are as addicted or worse.

3. You must decide that addiction is affecting your every day life.

4. You must discover the signs of your addiction manifesting itself.

5. You must learn to seek help for your condition.

6. You must recognize any withdrawal symptoms that you may encounter in your attempt to deprive yourself of your fix.

7. You must realize that an occasional slip up and return to NS is not the end of your war. It is merely one lost battle in a long war.

8. You must realize that you will likely remain in recovery for the rest of your life... eh, maybe for a few months, anyway.

9. You should maintain an [offline] journal of your progress and your feelings as you embark upon your new journey.

10. You must delete any NS-related bookmarks, sell or give away any books or other materials purchased specifically for NS use.

11. You must learn how to help others to work toward overcoming their own addictions to NS.

12. Be able to look yourself in the mirror and proudly say, "My name is [insert name here], and I'm a NS addict."

I'M NOT ADDICTED!

i could be deted anytime

This was supposed to be a joke thread.

I'm not addicted.

Well, you see, teacher, I didn't get my homework done because someone invaded my nation and they didn't get off line until 1 a.m. At that point, it was too late to worry about why Macbeth killed Duncan.

Addicted to NS? NO!
*grabs his needle and spoon*
Me?
Never!

Needle and spoon? I don't use a needle and spoon for NS.

This was supposed to be a joke thread.
i was joking

I'm not addicted. I just need it to get through the week. I could quit anytime. Now, dude, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GIVE ME BACK MY ETHERNET CABLE!

*races off to post on another thread*

I’m not addicted. I’ve only been late to class three times this week.

I'm not addicted! Because my leader said so in an RP!

This is turning out to be pretty funny after all. LOL

I've had enough, JUST HOOK UP THE INTERNET STRAIGHT IN TO MY BRAIN!!!!!

You realize the irony, of course, that you have to come to NS and view this thread to cure your addiction? :D

You should start your own non-profit organization: NationStates Anonymous. :p

I've had enough, JUST HOOK UP THE INTERNET STRAIGHT IN TO MY BRAIN!!!!!

I agree with this post. :p

I'm not addicted...

Now, prof, you see, I'm looking at NationStates because it's written in CGI and we're working on this unit on CGI...

prof: no, the CGI script isn't displayed in the source file. And, if you don't pay attention, you will fail.

Must unaddicify self from NS!

You sure know how to kill a joke

My name is the Martian Free Colonies, and I am a Nationstatesaholic. My magazine is close to slipping a deadline because I am too busy posting crap about Jesus and Godzilla to the Forum.
