Hello, my name is Sariah Nichols and I’m a Netflixaholic. Recovering
from back surgery with a very tight budget I find myself experiencing the symptoms
of Netflix addiction by neglecting
other activities, impaired control of time spent on Netflix, continual use of
Netflix, large amounts of time spent in Netflix related activities, withdrawal…
Seriously,
I need help. I used to
joke that books have been my longest relationship, then it was facebook, then pinterest, and
now Netflix and I have kind of promised each other we would love one another, for
better or for worse, until death do us part.
Being on a budget, and on bed rest for a few months, Netflix has been a
huge comfort to me. It helped me get
through physical therapy. It helped my
pass time when friends and family had their own lives and jobs to attend
to (or if they went someplace that required walking...sitting...standing, all things I couldn't do). Netflix shows helped me laugh and not focus on
temporary pain or trails. I was
entertained in the most boring and broke of times.
And all of these were done in a way that I could pay off some bills and
help my back heal. I am so grateful for
electronics and the ease we have with good, cheap entertainment.
During
the last 6 months I have watched good, bad and ugly (embarrassing) things on
Netflix. I will break down some of the
things I watched and hopefully I’m not alone in the boat with how much time I
have spent with this website.
The Good, Bad and Ugly:
24Biggest Loser
Lost
Parks and Recreation
White Collar
Supernatural
The Walking Dead
Prison Break
Mad Men
Gossip Girl
Bones
Malcolm in the Middle
Grey’s Anatomy
Firefly
My So Called Life
The Breakout Kings
Heroes
Warehouse 13
Vampire Diaries
Ally Mcbeal
Nip/tuck
Desperate Housewives
… and
many, many more
I moved
from TV to movies to documentaries, even the "just for kids" section have been
watched while I’m with my nephews. Nothing
is safe.
Any suggestions on what to watch? ;)
PS. I’m not lying when I say that I have Netflix
playing as I type this.

Happy. It was a good little documentary. Doc Martin--totally British and quirky. Hrmmm...I'll think of more.
