Hi, my name is ace214

[ace214]

and I'm an update-oholic.

It comes in seasons. Every 6 months or so, this tragic thing in my life happens called Alpha 3. Sometimes it comes in other forms like Alpha 4, 5, or Beta. These things just overwhelm me, and I just can't handle it. I have to check for updates- it's an addiction, I'll admit it. Sometimes I'll open Update Manager and click the Check button. Sometimes I just need the raw stuff, so it's the "sudo apt-get update" that gets me through.
And you know when it's the worst? When there's just one package that's grayed out. Held back, they call it. Don't hold out on me Ubuntu. I know I have a problem, just indulge me just this once. And then an hour from now... and tomorrow... and the next day...

Hi ace214. You have taken your first step
1. Admitting you are powerless over updating/upgrading—that your life has become unmanageable.Just follow the remaining 11 and you'll be OK...


2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to update-oholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Fight the good fight, homie. Remember, it is not whether you beat your personal demon that matters most, but how many people you can infect with your mental sickness before you go down for the final count.
