I do think I'm on the internet too much. I use to spend time reading, but now I seem to spend my time surfing the net. I don't think I'm an addict yet, but if I'm not careful I will be.

im also a frequent internet user.i think im using net for 3 or 4ys for my study ang some other fun like chatting.i also experienced lack of sleep when one day i downloaded much repipe videos from the net, and i felt vomitting when woke up same morning. so later i never tried so.

Hello there rainmark. Yes, I must say that I am a very 'heavy internet user', ha!! I always use the net for different purposes, and currently, I'm uploading things, participating actively in mylot lately, uploading entries to my blog regularly, and on some other blog sites and social networking and in short, I'm just enjoying myself to the max. I don't think that there will be ever a way to cure internet addiction, except for total power loss or internet being cut off! That happened to me a few months back, when I had my internet connection at work being very slow, and at the same time I had some personal problems to attend to. This information might be useful and if it helps more or less to curb a bit of those internet addiction, then it is all good.

Hello there, I go online every single day. Os that a sign of addiction? There's just so many important things to do on the internet. I have blogs to read and pictures to upload. Now that I'm out of school, I don't have to check my email as much as I used to but with three different accounts, I check my mail every day as well. I think the only time I go internet-free is when I travel and don't have access to a computer. :)

Hi friend ,Yes ofcourse am addicted much to internet.But I dont neglect my duties,I finish my work and come to my pc.If we had power cut I would feel depressed and sad bcoz am not able to come online.Have a great day.Happy mylotting.

i am pretty much like u when it comes to internet usage. but i try to restrict myself to use the net at specific times of the day. i use the internet more for online earnings and downloading. i also devote time to research and learn. so internet for me is fun and learning. yes i agree that i feel irritated when on some days i am not able to use the internet but i manage that somehow. the symptoms u mentioned r quite common for people using the internet on a regular basis. but i would disagree that it is an addiction, it is more like a part of a daily routine. have a gud day

Well, I am considered as an internet addict too. :D Yet, I try to reduce times I used for internet surfing, by doing more interesting activities like hang up with friends, go traveling, take nice pictures, but what I can't still make away from me are : my digital camera and my laptop with wireless modem, heheh :))

Yes I experience that many times, but if you use internet everyday it is not addiction anymore. It is boring sometimes, like if you eat that food everyday - its like a boring stuff for many years. First time I use Internet I'm quite addicted to it, but the main reason is to play games and download software,but for now my habits changed I looked for making money online

every day i take no less than 8 hours on net,part for work,part for entertainment,net has been the important cotent in my life .but i am not addicted,i seldom play games ,i think i am a common user.wish everyone can enjoy the it.

Hi rainmark, I think I’m addicted to the internet for I usually will online and surf net after getting up. My husband saying that to surf net has become one of my daily routine. Anyway he does enjoy reading latest news online together with me. I pass most of my daily leisure time on mylot site. I enjoy reading, posting and commenting ..... on this site. Besides I would like to check, reply and forward emails daily. I like playing games, downloading songs as well. Anyway there are still lots of other fun and joy surfing net frequently. posting and have a nice day.

hi rainmark! yes. i am an internet addict. even before. ^__^;; i used to spend a lot of money for internet surfing when we still didn't have an internet connection at home. now that we have an internet connection at home, i get less sleep at night because i usually stay up late internet surfing. and then i tend to ignore house chores too. i get restless when i'm not using the computer at home. i sometimes ignore my hunger because i'm hooked watching a drama online or a movie. sometimes i prefer to stay at home than go out with friends. furthermore, i surf the net a lot at the office. but only when i don't have work to do. i think my addiction is still not that alarming because i am not neglecting my office work.

Simply put, I have an addiction to the internet. As I have told my friends and family, the internet has really changed our lives. For me it has allowed me to do my job search, it has allowed me to do my writing and a great deal of research, and it is where I have my book published. I sort of know when I have had enough, yet, I do spend more time than I should on the internet because I need to get more exercise and spend more time doing other things. I enjoy internet marketing as is does exposes my website to millions of people, I think, and this is just another form of fun that you can have on the internet. I do not play on-line games. I think this leaves it open to not getting the other things done in life. I think the internet is important, but we have to be careful not to make it our lives. Thanks for the discussion. Great topic.

I'm usually online for about 8 hours each day. I used to consider myself an internet addict. So I know what that's like, lol. I don't really anymore because I use the computer for writing and gaining connections and stuff. I think that I've learned to become more organized and I use my time on here wisely.

IM A REALLY ACTIVE INTERNET USER!! I ALMOST USE IT 24/7 HAHAHA! im really adicted to this game called MapleStory and im on these fourms to earn money for this kind of special currency called NX cash (nexon cash)hehehe its really cool...i mean these fourms XD chatting with others and earning $! thats pretty cool! helps me and helps others! well BB (byebye) for thoes who dont know LOL ;D

I use the internet a lot! There have been times I have put off doing household chores but I think I would do that whether I had the internet or not. I use the internet for a lot of things and I think if I had to go without it I would honestly go insane. We actually experienced a power outage a couple weeks ago and I didn't have my internet for almost 3 days. I don't ignore family time or let it get in the way of other things except for putting off those little chores sometimes. I am using it when I am up at night mostly but I don't sleep much anyway for other reasons. Without the internet though, I think I would go crazy! Maybe in a way, I am addicted to the internet!
