I think anyone with more than 1000 posts on this forum is a potential Bitcoin addict.
There are much worse addictions though!

I have on many occasions awoken in the dead of night to check on my miners. I even named each one. I need help.
Lol, I could relate (minus the april fools thing) 
Wait, this isn't real? Because that almost described most of my current life at the moment.
Haha im on the same boat as you, Bitcoin everything.
Wake up bitcoin, go to bed bitcoin.

I'm not sure.
Maybe it is real and he was just wishing us a Happy ....Day?

This sounds exactly like my life lately.
Minus the April Fools part.

So, I am addicted to Bitcoin. The first step in curing an addiction is to realize you have one.
I got my first bits last year from the biggest dealer on the planet at the time, Gox. Needing more, I went to a local dealer, BitBox. It has been a long road of buying and using Bitcoin ever since. Thanks Overstock and Tiger Direct. I think about using bits for every purchase, and wish I could. Damn you Walmart and various fast food chains!
Even using the Bitcoin-Qt to move money around, and playing around with various web wallets, are great fixes…KryptoKit, Hive, Mycelium. I play around with cold storage, securely making paper wallets, cutting them out, carefully laminating each one…getting my kicks just storing money there, only to sweep it clean and shred it when necessary. I like studying the block chain while it drips transactions, and am fascinated by the little fiat leak bubbles landing on locations throughout the globe. I like to make transactions and see how fast they broadcast, and wait patiently to see how quick six confirmations are complete. It feels like running science experiments.
I go to Coindesk more than regular news networks. I consume youtube content like madbitcoins, worldbitcoinnetwork, Max Keiser, Antonopoulus interviews, and that bald guy from Canada who taught me plenty about economics. I learned more from those vids than my college economics class.
Now I am using localbitcoins to get my best fix yet. Meeting people I don't know, giving them funny looking green paper, and they give me the fix I need, some bits! Not only that, but I get cool transaction feedback that I used to only get from Ebay. I feel like a junkie, calling the dealers regularly, draining my bank account, and happily forking over stinky green paper for just one fix.
Then there are my Gox bits, which are held hostage currently. Thankfully their abductor allows a precious login attempt so I can see them on occasion, but their is a good chance they will never be in my warm cold storage again.
Even my wife, I gave her 2.5 BTC for her birthday, and ended up buying them back from her at market price a month later. Jesus, I am hopeless. She is gonna leave me if I don't get this under control, and take the kids with her.
I will sell them to her for BTC1000000 each! Happy April Fools Day!
