My name's Jim Shelley and I'm an addict(有瘾的人)．With these words I began to 1 the problem, the problem of my telephone addiction．I used to call people 2 , from the moment I woke up to the time I went to sleep, I 3 to be phoned, I wanted to phone, Just one more call．It started socially－a few calls each day．It seemed 4 , just a quick chat．
Gradually though, the 5 got worse．Soon it was 6 use, until, finally, addiction．And it began to affect my 7 ．During the work day, I would disappear for a quick 8 ．If I couldn't make a call, I spent the whole time waiting for the phone to ring．Getting more and more 9 , in the end, I would ring someone, then someone else, 10 myself just one more call．I was phoning people and 11 messages to make sure 12 calls would see me through the day．
I used to arrive at friends homes and before the door was closed, go straight for the phone with the 13 "Is it OK if I just use the phone…?"At work, I became 14 when my fellow workers tried to 15 me from using the phone．And one day I hit my boss(with the phone)．Finally the police caught me 16 a phone box that had take my last one pound coin, and I was 17 to see a psychiatrist(心理医生)．I haven't 18 a phone in the house for three weeks now, and it's several days 19 I used a phone box．I try not to watch TV because there are 20 people on it making phone calls．My name is Jim Shelley and I am an addict．
