I wouldn't say I'm ADDICTED.

I have a very deep deependancy on the internet, and I would suffer great emotional pain without it, but I'm not addicted.

....regardless of what my family said in their little "intervention" about how I'm "obsessive" about the internet or how I'm "destroying" our family.

I've overcome my addicition.

I use to be addicted, especially to this site. Then I noticed that I was wasting a lot of time doing "nothing" productive. So I decided to set boundaries as it relates to time spent and email checking.

That is SO not hardcore.

Much of my job involves waiting for something to break. When nothing's broken, the internet is the only interesting thing to do.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. It's like a one-stop hub for any and all of my interests...even those I didn't even know I had.

Long live the interweb!!

Yeah, I'm addicted. I even sold my momma's TV, so I could pay my internet bill. I'm on the computer like 15 hours a day. Sometimes I'll even have 12 tabs open at once. I even sleep with my laptop in my bed so I dont have to go far for my morning fix.

I have it on my phone, and my laptop is never far away, lol. But I'm actually a lot better than I used to be. I live a high-functioning life and only surf during intermittent down times. Emails, facebook alerts, my space alerts, do come right to my phone, though, so I am easily distracted at times.

The other downside is that I am instantly accessible by any and every one who has email or a phone... it's good most of the time, but people come to expect it.
