check out this essay over at NInthArt.com. It's all about comics addiction!
The following is from that same article.
The Twelve-Step movement has some pointers for your self-help programme. Here are the twelve steps of admission for comic book users:
1. We admitted we were powerless over comics. Compared with the superheroes.
2. We came to believe that a Power greater than Superman could restore us to sanity.
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to comics.
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our collections.
5. We admitted to a comics related internet forum, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our comics addiction.
6. We were entirely ready to have a sale to remove all these, even the ones without defects of cover.
7. We humbly asked if we could keep some trade paperback collections.
8. We made a list of all persons we had introduced to comics, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when their own addiction might jeopardise our own recovery.
10. We continued to take personal inventory and sold many comics via eBay.
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Stan Lee as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the Powers to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to anyone who would listen, by going on about it at length in any appropriate internet discussions, and also many inappropriate ones. 'Nuff Said!

Though I admit, it doesn't really apply to all of us... hehehe
