You know you're obsessed with Heroes (and the message boards) when you are outside, on an uncomfortable plastic chair, leeching wifi from your grandparents' neighbors while aligators are niping at your toes; just so you can post on the forum. blink.gif

Is there a standard list of symptoms because I've been told several times by my friends that I am addicted to heroes.
At first they thought it was normal; just a boy watching a popular television show. Then I the season finished but my craving for heroes continued. So I read all the Graphic Novels, and started going on the forum sites.
Eventually I started rewatching episodes, spending way too much time on heroes related sites and even bringing up heroes in everyday conversation. It went to the extent where my friend challenged me to not speak of Heroes for a whole day... I lost within half an hour.
Now they are starting to worry about me but I assure them I'm fine.
I told them I'm not addicted.
They responding by telling me that's what an addict would say.
I still don't think I'm "addicted" despite the the evidence my friends and family have against me. So how do you really know when you are obsessed? Is there like a certain moment? Or do you gradually fall deeper and deeper into it?

Is this Heroes Addicts Anonymous? Well, it's not very anonymous since you can see my name, but here goes...

Hello. My name is PaxLux. You can call me Pax. I've been a Heroes addict since September. It's been a long road, full of long nights of almost endless DVD watching, long days of browsing for Heroes pics, and posting until my fingers cramp. Uh, whew, well, yeah, I'm addicted to Heroes for many reasons.

One way I could tell I was becoming addicted was when anyone says the names "Peter," "Nathan," "Claire," "Matt," "Noah," "Niki," "Angela," or any other "normal" every-day name, I automatically assume they are talking about Heroes. This also came to include "Adam" and "Monica." Can't help it. Can't explain it.

3. You wear a pair of Horned-Rimmed Glasses, even though you don't need glasses, just to feel cool.
4. You have attempted to paint the future.

A Heroes Fanatic in New York City:


You go to New York City on November 9th to help stop the Exploding Man
You make sure you go on the 9th...not the 8th and not the 10th...
You flip out when you get there and you can’t find Kirby Plaza
You try to find Molly so she can tell you where everyone is
You look for the nearest sword shop and see if you can meet Hiro there
You walk around waving your arms around because maybe you’ll feel Claude and he can tell you where to go
You keep walking the streets, looking behind you every few seconds because, you know, Sylar could be following you
You give up, and decide to watch the sky, hoping Nathan will fly Peter up there and stop the explosion
You hide underground in a random basement, just to be safe in case the bomb does go off
You see a very bright airplane pass by and assume that was Peter
You go outside and check all the sewers for traces of blood...

Hi I am Jenna and I am a Heroes addict, it started last year, but I really fell into addiction this past season when I discovered the boards. Now half of the things I do find a relation to Heroes and treasure my pics with Adrian. I am a moderator at the Savenathanpetrelli.com forums, since I am completely saddened by the possible death of a character. Half the things I asked for for Christmas were Heroes related, tomorrow I will find out what I got smile.gif. Even though personally I am not a big Hiro/Charlie person, just to get a new dossage of Heroes I plan on buying and reading the new novel (hoping that there is some reference to Nathan buried in the pages).

Maybe I need to visit the subset of HAA, the Nathan Addicts Anononmous too

Hello, I'm Rapidwhirl, and I'm a heroes addict. I don't know when I was officially declared an addict by my older brother, but it was a long time ago. I do know I'm obsessed, if not passionate, because I've memorised most of the cast names and look for them in the begining credits. Even though my family doesn't celebrate Christmas, I still hoped to get something Heroes related. I PM ideas and jokes to people who I know can weave them skillfully into fan-fictions and images; because I don't have the time or experiece to make my own. It has been, and continues to threaten to rain all afternoon, but I'm still outside leeching from a neighbor. Even if it did start raining I would probably resort to dialup. There are at least three ant holes around me, and already had to brush two of the insects off the laptop.

"Hi, my name is ____, and I'm a boardaholic."

Hello. My name is Twice, and I'm a Heroesaholic. I've been clean since the night of Dec 3. It's hard though. Everyday I think about it. Everyday I crave it. I want to take this time to thank my sponsor...brainchick. Without her, I would not have made it this far. She has really helped me through the tough times. Take last night for instance. I was so close to staying up and feeding my Heroes addiction. But, no! She got me through it. For that...I thank her. I'd also like to appologize to my friends. I know they get tired of hearing of my addiction, but yet they still take the time to lend an ear; to give a shoulder to cry on. They truly are my friends. As are all of you who share my pain.

Ok...wow...*tears up* ok I lied. (gives back the 3 week chip) I watched the Villains promo on youtube yesterday. Both the 54 sec one and the 33 sec one. I'm so ashamed. I'm sorry to let ya'll down. I will take this beginner chip once again and try to do better. I have to. Thank you all for your support. Without this group, I don't think I would make it. I would be stuck watching volume 1 over and over. Please don't look down upon me and help me to cope. With your help, I know I can make it.

This hasn't happend to me, but my friend had a great dream about Heroes! She was one of the Heroes, but with no ability. Hiro wasn't there, so it was like she was in his place, & she had his sword! They all went to face Sylar. It was like this:

Sylar: I want you
Her: What?
Sylar: I want your power.
Her: I don't have a power.
Sylar: Yes you do.
Her: No I don't!

At some point, he then says he loves her. He then says something about not being bad & in fact there are two sides to Sylar (like Niki/Jessica, but she is still alive, so he didn't take her power.) She then gets taken away to Isaac's place & they are actually doing 'it' (eww.)

All the heroes come to save her & they are shocked that she is with Sylar. There are now two Sylars.

Peter: Oh great, now there's two of 'em.
Her: No, one is good.

Both Sylars fight each other, & the bad one is winning & pretends to be the good one, but she can see that he isn't the good one, because I think then she kisses the good one, & her power is then released, which is the Phoenix (she explained to me that a Phoenix needs love, & this is when it happens.) Peter is still not sure about her being with Sylar. She then destroyes Sylar, & that's it!

How cool was that!? I wish I had a dream like, but I have had one dream. It was with Mohinder in the Parasite episode, but it was similar. Instead of the gun scene, something else happened, but I forgot what! Grrrr!
