This is really true! Computer games are very addictive. They come in various forms and styles which can really attract different kinds of individuals. I was hooked also with online games before. I even spent money for my games. i am really an addict before that I even cut my classes to play network games. It is really prevalent here in our country and I am sure on others too. Computer gaming has really boomed and many are hooked by it! But it can't be helped because everybody loves playing games!

I am addicted to the computer too, sitting in front of the computer many hours a day. In fact, the computer has become a necessity for me for my work. I have to do a lot of research work, and internet is the way for that. Of course, after I get back home in the evenings, I am back in front of a computer to be active in the myLot community.

Same as me here! At the office I often can be seen sitting in front of the computer. And still, getting back home I still go and sit in front of the computer. So what does that makes us of? Before in my undergraduate days, I am addicted in the computer due to games and social networking sites. Now that I am working, I am addicted in working and earning and posting. And myLot is one of the reasons too that I am addicted on my computer.

lol it's okay, you know your priorities. Smoking has less of a brain stimulation than some sites on the internet. Try to find interesting research

This was also my dilemma before. Those were the times when I was overly addicted to online gaming and network gaming. I really had a hard time trying to contain my self with that! There was also a time back then that we didn't sleep just to play all day! To control your addiction to computer you must try other things to keep you busy with. Go out with your friends or travel. Try getting into a vacation. Do a hobby or play sports. It will help you to stay waway from the computer.

Yes, stay in the computer can be really addicted. I was addicted to the internet a few years ago, but now I spend a lot of time on the computer, but I don't feel so bad anymore when I can't use the internet for a couple of days. Maybe you should try to give little breaks of the computer during the day.
