Do you find yourself turning on the television, only to find that the channel is still set to HGTV? Or, do you turn down opportunities to socialize, because you need to be home to see the latest episode of Brother vs. Brother? Do you feel strongly that you're Team Drew or Team Jonathan?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, don't worry — you're not alone. Many of us struggle with a dependency on HGTV, and there's a community out there to support us. Whether you love HGTV shows of yesteryear [1] or more contemporary programs like Fixer Upper [2] and Flip or Flop [3], a deep love for HGTV is common and, more importantly, socially acceptable.
If you find yourself agreeing with 10 or more of the signs ahead, well . . . congratulations. Your love for HGTV is real and fabulous.
