If I am, would any of you be able to inform me of any organizations that offer 10 step recovery programs for text-aholics?

How often do you all text? Do any of you text more? Or do you text less?

Yea, I'd say so. Texting is kind of aggrivating. That is, if you don't have a full keypad. I hate how it takes 20 minutes for me to type a single message.

I text several times a day - but only to a handful of people. I have no idea what my count is, but I am def not a text-a-holic. I much prefer face to face or phone calls...although IM runs a close 2nd/3rd.

XT9, brotha. XT9.

I prefer face to face as well. But for some reason, I like to text a lot too.

Yup, you're a text-a-holic.

My phone is a few years old, so it doesn't have a full keyboard either. I'm fine with that. I don't text anyone anyway. I'm just a complete non-chatter. I don't text, I don't call, I don't IM, I rarely email.

The texting thing is still kind of new to me, but I will say I like texting stuff like "wanna play 9?" or "do I need to bring something to the get-together?" or "Hope you have a good day."

Stuff like that saves me having to stop what I am doing and have a phone conversation.

I don't reply to about 90% of texts that I get especially those spam types.

Why? You always have so much to say on here.

 

[canehdianhotstuff]

Not really.

I have friends that hit 10 000 text a month outgoing lol.

 

[Llauralin]

Yes, 10,000 texts is excessive. but then I've texted twice. Ever. Calling if I have a phone, or Iming if I'm at a computer make more sense and are less obnoxious.

 

[Inkachu]

Why? You always have so much to say on here.

Maybe it's my author's nature. Writing what I want to say just comes naturally And I'm not really conversing here, I'm just throwing out random comments or responding to questions. Believe me, I do probably 75% of my "talking" here on CF. You'll almost never find me on a phone.

No I'm only allowed 250 a month so I don't dare go above that, because we all know Verizon charges heavily for txts outside the plan. Some people think I txt too much, but it's obvious here I do not.

I do like to txt though and get messages.

So to me...you do txt a lot.

 

[WileyCoyote]

Yeah Vicky, you DO have "I love to write" in your signature.

Do you want to point me in the direction of Text-aholics Anonymous?

 

[Blank123]

yes you're a text-aholic to the max

i think i probably only text a few times a month but thats mainly because no one else likes texting otherwise i'd probably be as addicted to texting as you Ernest

Do you want to point me in the direction of Text-aholics Anonymous?

hehe I think txting is fine if you have unlimited txts. Besides, I see it as...I like getting txts, so you must be making a lot of people happy.

Haha, you have "text-aholic tendencies", Ann. The only thing stopping you from being one is opportunity.

Well, SOMEtimes.

[Inkachu]

OK why are people saying "txt" instead of "text"? It's not like it saves time...it's one letter different!

I know why Wiley's texting so much.

And so does everyone else here
