That's funny! As I read your post, I'm thinking that's exactly what happened to me and I'm doing the same things! I'm a Twilight addict too! And we're not alone...

No you are SO not alone, Im 29 and I became addicted Nov 2008 (its funny how we remember important dates huh..lol) I was on leave from work and I was at the grocery store and had herd a bit of buzz, I was looking for a book to read anyway so I decided to see what the hype was all about...I finished all the books in about 2 weeks (last 'book' I read was in high school)...I pretty much do the same thing as you, my first stop on my computer is always my 8 fave Twilight sites, I have literally spent DAYS on line looking for pictures, interviews, any news what so ever, but I try to stay away from any paparazzi photos or the stuff they print in the scandal rags like OK and US magazine, its hard though, but I just hate how intrusive they are, I mean let the man walk for gods sake!

It is an addiction but I think its a good one. I mean just think of how many people are reading again, certainly me, and sites like this where the fan devotion is so strong and we are all so supportive of each other, not to mention that its a story almost anyone can relate to, being in love with something you clearly should not be...

Welcome to the dark side (or should I say 'sparkely' lol)

yep that's pretty much exactly what happened to me except i'm married and have a two year old daughter and work full time. so for me to finish the books as fast as i did has to say something. i had completely NO interest in Twilight AT ALL. then i was at a redbox one night and saw it and thought i would see what all the hype was about. never in a million years did i think i would like it as much as i did and like you said DAlice, it got me reading again when i hadn't read anything since high school. so i feel ya! i was wondering if i was not normal too lol. but i guess there is no such thing as "normal" anymore right?

I am an addict and and they say that with acceptance, you are half way there to dealing with the problem. :) So you are not alone and you are in the right place to be with other addicts. I already know and I keep saying it all the time, that before 2011 - the release of Breaking Dawn - I am going to need major therapy to deal with this obsession. But I am going to enjoy every moment of this freaking fun ride - just love it.

I'm soooo glad that there are others out there that I can relate to. Just like you guys, I never used to read. Now, I'm non-stop readin trying to find something to occupy my time rather than being soo addicted to Twilight. (Not that being addicted to Twilight is a bad thing.) I never thought a book can have this much impact on me. I love how the series make me feel like a teenager in love again. You know, having a crush on the guy who is supposedly waaaay to good for you.. THANK YOU for welcoming me with open arms!

The way I see it, at least I'm not addicted to crack, literally! I'm addicted to fictional characters. Wait... Is that supposed to be better?! Aahahahaha!!!

That is so me, too. I saw the movie just after it came out on DVD. I ,then, read the 1st two books in a day and a half. I have read the saga 5 times now. I check Twifans 2-3 times a day for anything new. My myspace even revolves around "Twilight". I'm 31, married, with 2 kids, and I'm addicted to "Twilight". Glad to know it's not just me...lol.

Midnight Sun was the s***!!! Hey Karen, do you think she'll ever finish it? She also wrote a little blurb from Jake's point of view too. If you're interested, shoot me your e-mail and I can send it to you.

I also finished all the books in a little more than 2 weeks, and english is not even my everyday language. (european) (sorry for any mis-spelling)
Wow I am so happy to see that many of you are Moms to. I am 29 and have a 2 year old daughter. I am so obsessed with this. I checked out the movie to see what all the fuss was about...And God I did not see this coming. My normal life has completely gone down the drain, I live and breathe twilight and I find it a bit imbarresing.
I have felt very alone with this and it has bothered me a bit. So now my plan was to try and get my best friend hooked, I showed her the DVD last night and she has seen it now 3 times since. Guess it worked :-) She is going to start the books now...I'm so excited
Thanx for being out there
