I think I'm addicted to the Internet
I've been making an effort to unplug from the net more, especially on weekends.

Sadly it works out more like this:

Ever since I got an iPhone, I keep checking my email obsessively. I don't know how to stop. I force myself to wait for half an hour at a time, before hitting Reconnect. I think that's pretty good? I tell myself I could stop if I wanted to, but I'm not sure I could. Sad huh.

How about you: are you addicted to the net? Or have you found ways to cut back? If so, please share!

I am proud to say I'm not addicted to the internet, and I have gone weeks without it with no problems. As of now though, I am environmentally-bond to the internet...how so? I'm stuck inside..right now it is 108 degrees, and it is only staying there for what looks like the rest of the month. None of my friends go outside, we all stay inside, play games, internet-whore ourselves, etc.

Nothing else better to do. Sims 3 FTW <3 (As to getting over it, you have to get away from it literally, leave all of your gadgets that have any connection at all, and get out, do something)

The more I'm out and hanging out with my friends and doing stuff, the less I'm online.

Isn`t everyone?
Maybe you should return the iPhone. That`s the best advice I can think of.

ever since i've gotten the g1 (google phone) i've been more obsessed like with the internet, especially with facebook and twitter, and my email as well. and whats better yet is that my phone beeps and notifies me right away with an update from the net whether its an email or a notice from twitter, its so awesome. these days i think its really handy to be connected at all times, just as long as it doesnt cause too much of a distraction and causes accidents. talking on the phone while driving can be bad enough, but checking emails and facebook updates and driving? we shouldn't even go theree!!! haha! kudos

Any kind of obsession falls into the realm of addiction. And addictions cannot be cured by the addicted him/herself. So, my advice if you are a believer put it under the Will of God, because for Him nothing is impossible. Gene546
