Inventing a Word- “Blogatonic”
Okay, I’ve done my homework. Other than being an expired domain, the word “BLOGATONIC” has not yet debuted, so please accept my apologies for being blogatonic of late.

Blogatonic
Function: adjective
Definition: when a blogger has allowed “real life” to dominate their time, leaving their blog in a frozen state. Often, bloggers go blogatonic from blogging overdose, writer’s block, kids not in school, in-laws in the house, and clients requesting face time rather than strictly communicating with you via blog.
Etymology: weblog + catatonic, before 2009, originating on RErevealed.com

Feel free to use the word when you’re absent from your blog!

Can I use it on my blog when I’m absent on my blog?
Oh man, that’s totally metaphysical.

Most people don’t realize what a heavy drinker you are and that this will happen much more often than they hope. Lani, you need to get some help. Contact your local AA and go to a meeting.

Lani,
Here are the 12 steps for AA.
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
I would point you to steps 8,9 & 10 in regards to the mean things you said above.
