I'm looking for enablers if anyone wants to volunteer.
I'm not an addict; I can quit any time. I choose not to, heh heh.
...some people hid their Internet surfing, ... that mirrored alcoholics using booze ... "In a sense, they're using the Internet to self-medicate," Aboujaoude said. "And obviously something is wrong when people go out of their way to hide their Internet activity."
I an NOT an 'Internet Addict'. The mere suggestion is preposterous. Hide my on-line activity like a drunk, hides his booze, HA! - that's silly.
Just because I have a quart of Free Republic stashed in the cupboard and a pint of FR under the bed - for emergencies mind you, means nothing. NOTHING I tell you.
Oops, hold on, wait a sec ... Hey, you. Yeah YOU - get outta there, leave that cable wire alone!
Whew, that was close (cold sweats)
Phooey. I can quit any time.
See?
I can stop any time I want to...Can too!
Well I never saw one warning label on my modem, my laptop, or in my ISP contract. That's at least 3 lawsuits, I better email my attorney...
Since I use the P.C. to share real news from real sources and not the MSM, TV Junkie News, and I share conservsative values in forums and listen to talk radio, coupled with work, I would say I would fall into a stupid general category like this one. I listen to the radio, do my work,
read the conservative news, and speak with people in the cyber community, who have values.
Gee, does the make the MSM, (Mad!)
Well at least we are not addicted to drugs and MTV.

Hello, my name is seawolf and I am not addicted, no I tell you!!!!
And I am not in denial, no I'm not.
Now if only someone will loosen my restraints so I can keep on typing.
Yes, YES, YESSSSS!!!!! I am an addict. And the FREE REPUBLIC did that to me.
Beforehand, I was a happy nincompoop. Maybe went online for about an hour a day. Now I'm out of control. I FReep day & night. I miss it when I'm gone.
Actually, it's a healthy addiction. Did anyone ever die from having too much FREE REPUBLIC? I mean, the humor here is wonderful.
Seriously, my home DSL/Ethernet cable got knocked out this summer by a storm, so for 3 months I was Internetless. The feeling was weird: not just the loss of FREEping but the loss of structure.
Fortunately my freelance work kept me busy. In between that, I read a few books, cleaned the apartment, visited friends. All that boring stuff. Had to catch up on FReeping surreptitiously, at the office.
Hello everyone. My name is Niuhuru and I'm an internet addict.
I think it started when I was twelve and I had learned how to use the internet. I then used it for school, fun, and communication.
Then once I discovered I could find out everything I wanted I began to explore more a little and soon I was looking up everything I wanted. Well, here I am, unemployed, flunked out of school, and obese (damn you taco bell) and the parents are charging rent. I though I could quit when I wanted to, but apparantly not. I'm still surfing google while writing this so please pray for me.
Heed my tale of woe, lest others suffer like me.
