I wouldn't consider myself an addict. My boyfriend how ever is another story! As soon as he get's out of bed he jumps on the computer!SERIOUSLY! This is the first thing he does everyday! Getting on the internet is also THE VERY LAST THING HE DOES EVERYDAY! I fall asleep and wake up in the middle of the MORNING and he is still online!

since i retired and moved to a new state where i know no one yes i am addicted to it it allows me contact with other humans and if not for it I would be so lonely!also I am dissabled and cant get out to much in bad weather so you see instead of my addiction being a bad thing i feel it saved my life by giving me an outlet !

Human being has a tendency to get addicted to what they love to do/eat/drink/experience most.I was a victim couple years back.I mostly skipped meals just for the heck of chatting and playing word game on yahoo.If the victim is a kid/minor its advisable to distract him/her from the addictions and help them out by laying some stringent rules on them. If the victim is matured enough,he/she has to study himself, where he is going wrong.
