My wife is now convinced that my constant cravings for all things Ron Paul is a sign of addiction. (she does not share my political views). I must admit, she may be correct, but I have no intention of changing in the near future.

Tonight my sister and brother-in-law have come out of the closet and admitted they now support Ron Paul after Meet the Press…. my jaw dropped…. she was hard-core Hillary and he hard core Joe Biden….
My wife says I am neglecting the family. My 18 year old thinks Im weird. My 16 year old took the candadate test on aol and ended with Paul as her choice. I’m sick . . . I’m so sick of the statas quo. We need Ron we need 52 million like thinkers in america next Nov.

My name is Rick and I’m a Paul-a-holic.
The condition is contagious. I have infected my GF, both our kids, 6 mutual friends, my 2 best friend since high school, my father (mom votes the same way he does - so she counts too), my boss, 4 of my co-workers, my brother, at least 15 people in town, 3 store owners, and many, many others. My GF’s relatives are coming in tomorrow and I am pretty sure I will infect them as well (another half-dozen soon-to-be Paulites)
We are trying to do the 12 step thing. In recognition of our condition, we place yard signs out front to signify our freedom addiction and warn people that they are in a no BS zone.
(reminds me of the movie Green Mile, when the old lady says, “Infected? He infected you with LIFE!”)

I am always working on articles, blogs and a book…about Ron Paul. If I ever get the book published I’m going to give the money…………..to Ron Paul. I had to make an agreement with myself before I started writing the book that I would make no money from it. I am so completely devoted to this movement that I could never take a dime from it for myself.

When I am working on a business deal that does not involve Ron Paul I put Ron Paul Youtubes on in the background so it is not too far way. When media people are rude to Ron Paul I have to “walk it off” before I shred them…I have basically given about 2% of my entire personal worth to the campaign and am waiting for the general election to give the rest. I cry when watching his youtubes and scream with joy when he crushes some nazi commentator’s question out of the park. My daughter would vote for him if she was old enough. I have instructed my son that if he doesn’t vote for Ron Paul he will have the blood of our soldiers on his hands….is this some kind of emotional blackmail? Am I wrong for doing this?

At the coffee shop when I get the bill I rant about how worthless my money is, the secretary of State in my state knows who I am. For God’s sake the last woman I saw in her underwear was Liv the Ron Paul girl…what has my life come to! Where is it going…?!….?! Straight to the damn Whitehouse, that’s where.

I can’t be away from DailyPaul for more than an hour at the most. I am constantly checking the forum and Ron Paul is always on my brain. What do you suggest?
My girl dumped me because of my addiction.
lol, jk
She still dumped me though.

It’s nearly painful to talk to anyone who doesn’t have the capacity to talk about RP. I think until this is all over, my only friends are RP people. My Non Paul friends almost make me sick. I feel like I’m hanging out with the lost and unstable. I was in Argentina 3 weeks ago and couldn’t even go the whole day without looking at dailypaul.com. I kind of feel numb.

I need a major family intervention. Electroshock Therapy, Sedatives, support groups etc. Maybe RP in the White House will cure me.

Dont feel bad. You are not alone. me too, i have been in this divorce mess for over four years!! and all I talked about was how horrific it was untill I found Ron Paul last spring, now all I talk about it the constitution and RP. This message has completley fired me up, I have seen how I have been a slave in the system and if RP is elected I can be free. Once a person really grasps the feel of this revolution and freedom and prosperity- its addictive. and it does bring so many people together. Look at RP campaign how unique it is, the creativity the differences in people. could you imagine how wonderfull our country will be with RP as our president!!! YA Im hooker big time!!!!

I am soooo hooked, I need my fix at least 10 times a day! Its the message more than the man ( I still love him ) This has been a great Christmas. I got the best gift ever, a signed RP pocket Constitution! And my hubby home safe for Christmas!

My fiancee accused me one day that I loved Ron Paul more than I loved her. I hesitated for just a moment and ended up in the doghouse for it. She’s changed her party to Republican and is voting Ron Paul though.

I had to sneak away while my friends were unwrapping presents and jump on the internet to sneak a peak at the latest on the dailypaul. Let’s face it…we’d all marry Ron Paul if we could…did the room just go silent?…well…ya know…Glenn Beck wants to be Ron’s girlfriend….he’s got the fever, too!

I am really concerned. I can’t get enough. We ARE all really STARVED for this message. It’s why we hold on so tight. This has got to happen. It’s kind of like after 911. I remember seeing a photo of someone in France holding a sign saying “We are American, too.” You never know how much you love your country until you feel you’re losing it. And man, noone has a burning love like we do.

My husband and I are hooked. As soon as the kids are in bed, we get online (each on our own computer) and spend hours searching for Ron Paul info. We really have a problem! We stay up too late and I dream about all this stuff through the night. I’m just glad to see that we are not the only ones! We are not even internet people - this is a new way for us. We are just thankful that we found RON PAUL and the REVOLUTION. May we multiply exponentially!

I`m German living in Germany and I keep talking about Ron Paul to my german family and friends, drive around in my german car plastered with Ron Paul signs through Munich, Germany (still waiting for the first honk…), and occasionaly walk down the street with my handmade “Google Ron Paul” sign in my Ron Paul Shirt.
I`m absolutely obsessed with Ron Paul - that`s because it is the first time in my life there is actually hope for liberty.
This movement is a dream coming true.

I am not a Ron Paul addict, I can stop following at any time. It’s just that at this time I’m really enjoying my inability to use the internet without looking at Ron Paul news and the Daily Paul. I think that it might be getting in the way of the other parts of my life.
I almost puked my Christmas dinner across the table at a relative that said she liked Hilary. She definitely did NOT have the potatoes passed to her for the rest of the meal.

Everyone calls me Ron Paul now, I sleep in his T-Shirt, I convert hundreds of people already in the US and as far as Asia, my friends send me Christmas greetings like this: Merry Christmas to you and your family( and we know vote RP)

You guys I understand, but my husband is driving me crazy! My husband is a Ron Paul supporter but he’s not addicted! When he comes home from work I try to show him info on the internet and if I’m lucky he’ll watch for about 10 min. then say he’s had enough and walk away!! He walks all day long for his job so he likes to sit and read or watch TV at night but he avoids news because it gets him mad (yelling mad). He’ll be 67 in March and wanted to cut back on overtime this year but hasn’t because of Ron Paul. We would be maxed out on our contributions except for the fact that we’re holding back a little for another bomb. Anytime I mention that a special project needs money he’ll tell me to send in $500. (We’re not rich, he just works a lot of overtime.) I wanted to go to Phila. for the rally. We’re only a hour away but he didn’t want to go! I just don’t understand him! At least you people are normal.

He’s awesome, that’s way better than being on-line all day. Working overtime to send in more money and letting you scope out the opportunities–your husband rocks.  

i converted my wife in 1 easy step
Step 1: I took her to a Ron Paul Rally. After that, she was convinced he was the man.
Now, she’s hooked.

I am a new person because of Ron Paul. I am determined to track the votes of Congress on all spending and civil liberties issues from now on. I am determined to vote against any politician who spends our money unwisely or compromises our civil liberties. I will write letters and make phone calls until these politicians listen to us.

Top Ten Signs that You Are a Ron Paul-aholic
10). You donated to the TeaParty at 12:04 AM December 16th to help get the ball rolling and then watched in amazement until 3 AM as everybody you know did the same.
(9). You think that ending the War in Iraq, preventing the President from launchng a War in Iran, stopping Empire Building, eliminating The Federal Reserve, IRS, and many Departments of the Federal Government, Abortion, defending Individual Rights and Liberty, Limited Government, Saving the Country from Bankruptcy, Sound Money, Property Rights, restoring The Constitution, Non-Interventionism, etc…. are the most important issue and why you are supporting Dr. Paul for President.

Hi My name is Todd and I’m a Ron Paul-aholic.
I can’t stop looking for new information. All hours - all days - if I have a free moment I’m picking up the laptop and checking…….sometimes every 5 minutes I check.
My wife and I recently met the good doc at the tea party here in Texas. Her comment to him was she wants him to win already so that she can have her husband back. I about died with embarrassment. oh well—-what can ya do.

Last year I was all about sex,drugs,rock&rol,and casino gambling.
This year I`m all free markets, sound money,individual liberty,and non-interventionist foreign policy.Go figure.

We are addicted Ron Paul supporters, so much that its rubbed off on the kids (its their future we’re fighting for). 2 kids, 14, 10 years and a grandchild 5 years. They make up skits, songs and signs referring to RP! The 5 year old the first time said “Ron Paul, the champion of the ‘fompitutuion’. A joke around here now. A couple of their gifts for Christmas were from “Ron Paul”. Maybe family counseling??

I am so “hardcore” that my daughter gave me a “Ron Pauling Survival Kit” for Christmas! It contained a RP t-shirt for me and 2 for my dogs, a RP apron for times my hubby says “Back away from the computer and fix me some dinner, woman!”, a bottle of water to stay hydrated, a Ron Paul cup and some tea for the teaparty, and various snacks so I don’t have to leave the computer, a bottle of brandy for times I get frustrated, etc.
I have 6 kids and their spouses that will most likely vote for Dr. Paul, 2 are definitey Paul-aholics, 3 grandkids over 18 and at least 2 of them are confirmed Paul-aholics. I confess their addictions were caused by me, but I do not feel guilty!

My name is Charlotte and I’m a Paul-aholic. I created my own bumper sticker, have listened to all 9 parts of neo-conned, donated like the other viewer said at 12:04 Dec 16, have maxed my donations, have created my own stickers, donated to the auction of the Tea Party, go out every night and sticker cars in the neighborhood shopping places, have bugged all of my friends and family to join me, I hate to Paul alone, have many favorited youtube videos, listen to Ron Paul music while I’m on the computer, sit down just to see what is new on dailypaul for 10 minutes and then after three hours I have to go to the bathroom, order Ron Paul shirts for Christmas, and if I have done everything else I can find on the computer, I just go over and watch the ticker names go by. If I don’t convert at least one person a day, I am depressed. I’m so glad we have until November before I have to face this and seek a cure. Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul, Ron Paul. Join the Ron Paul r3VOLution, give us back our Constitution.

My daughter (who is also hardcore Paul-aholic) and I sometimes dream all night that we are out Ron-Pauling! We wake up exhausted sometimes.:-)

Oh MY Gosh
Yes, I dream about Ron Paul all night long, all night long. I work and work and work. Sometimes I wake up and it has been a good night and other times I am frustrated or scared. After about five nights of this, I have given up and realize this is how it is going to be. Exactly!!

My name is Erin and I’m a Paul-a-holic
I spent Christmas day emailing the Organizers of major Meetup groups, to try and get Paulapalooza 2008 on as many calendars as possible. (I only stopped because the Meetup site finally cut me off, telling me I had exceeded my maximum number of emails to Organizers within a 30-day period!)
While my toddler is napping, I write letters to strangers in early primary states - urging them to google Ron Paul - until my hand cramps up. 
I  made my own bumper sticker and have nearly maxed out my contributions.
After 2 glasses of Cabernet, I gave my 30-member extended family a long lecture about the virtues or RP over Christmas dinner.
I am now so obsessed with staying on top of the campaign progress, I can’t remember the last time I watched any TV (except, of course, the Glenn and MTP interviews).
That last one can’t be good for the MSM and their advertisers. Hey, Ron Paul cured my TV addiction! Is there anything he can’t do?
