Seriously I find myself on this think for hours and hours a day! Like I'll check fourms at least 6 times a day, I need to cut back Lol is there a computer program or anything to help those with this sort of thing?
I'm in the same boat. Summer break for school and I find myself just on the internet. Everybody around here has a job(guess that tells me something), so there is nothing to do really but this. Luckily for me, there are a few good concerts around here on the weekends(tomorrow I'm seeing Tool ). My friend, the facebook addict, told me there is some way to block a site after you go to it for a set time, but I don't remember what he said.
I'm in the same boat. Internet 15 minutes, go take a walk, computer again 15mins, ps2/wii, computer, tv, computer, lunch, computer this is what my weekends look like OH: well, as long as it doesn't affects my job, friends, health, and my girlfriend, why should I worry ?
So what? Unless you're using it to the extent that it's damaging your health and such, then why worry? I'll spend ages on the web, keeping up with friends, having discussions etc. Much more meaningful than hanging around a street corner. It's just a part of people's lives now. Why worry about it?
Then why don't you study instead of spending time on the web... get your studying done first then you can dick around on the internet or play video games or whatever. If you get distracted from your studies, instead of getting on the internet why not try exercising? That has helped me out a ton (getting in shape, relieving stress, and becoming more focused are just a few benefits) Try lifting weights, or jogging, or playing racquetball (or whatever sport interests you). That way you can break away from your studies for a bit and feel like you are actually accomplishing something, which you are and that is bettering your physical self.
Well, they have a support group for game addicts, so I am sure that they have a support group for people who have to deal with others complaining about being online too much... :lol:
Well for me I try not to spend too much time on the net,but it does happen from time to time.But Im more focused on my music than anything else,its my job,Im on a record label now and I put most of my time into music,and plus the label wants some new material,so its back into the studio to record some new tracks.
Well I'm a university student. So right now I'm in the process of working on Summer courses. So a job isn't a option. Though I do plan to start working out again sooner then later.
6 times? On weekends, I turn it on at 12am and surf untill 5 o'clock in the morning. Okay, not really every weekend and of course I'm gonna eat something inbetween or go to the bank and stuff, but basicially I use almost every single minute of my freetime to check forums or to chat with my friends ._. I want to set me free of this addiction because there's no time left to play games XD
I wouldnt even like to know how many times a day i click the "New Posts" button. I think i`ve been addicted for about 10yrs now, when my connection is down or i get a new pc, it`s like part of my brain is missing :-(
Go start running right now. I spend too much time on the computer, but I've made a commitment to go start running Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and for three days I have =). I'm starting University in a few months, and I know if I don't start now, I certainly won't once classes start up and whatnot... Internet Addiction actually does exist, don't think you are that bad off compared to most, unless it is worse than you make it sound =) http://www.netaddiction.com/ http://psychcentral.com/netaddiction/ Hope that helps! I suspect many are the in same boat here
