Hello my dear friends!
Well last few weeks i was going through really hard time. Maybe you have seen mine discussion about my cousin who stopped playing guitar. He was my idol.. so last few weeks i was thinking about myself as an artist and as an guitar player. Do i want to continue playing? Is this worth of the time i spend playing? Believe it or not YouTube helped me solve this problem. I saw one guy who plays guitar amazingly and suddenly i realized that this is it. music is my life and i have to continue playing guitar.. To get more time to practice i stopped being addicted to one thing! This is worse than a cocaine or anything similar! I am no more addicted to INTERNET and computers.. usually i spend around 3 hours on Internet and now i am only for 20 minutes a day! Just to check my mail and my friends here on trap. This is great feeling because i now have more time to practice and for myself..
but the funniest thing is that i am going in school for computer technician:D

Cheers!
(20 min for today are over)

That's great! I'm on the computer around 2 hours on weekends, 1 hour on weekdays. I'm not a big guitar player myself, but I do like to play for fun. It sounds like you found your passion in life. I don't know how you can stop being on the computer, it seems like an impossible feat . It's amazing the things Youtube can accomplish lol. Hopefully you will be successful in playing guitar and join a good band. Rock on!!

I'm glad to hear you are continuing your love of music. Things like this will probably make you a better player in one way or the other because you have a passion for it. I wish I could stop my addiction to the Internet. I probably ought to because it keeps me from school work a lot of times. lol I don't know how you are going to continue with your major as Computer Technician if you want only 20 minutes a day on the computer but I hope things work out for you there and play on.

If 3 hours a day is an addiction...I dread to think what I have

But well done on stopping it I know I'd have a hard time doing it...I'd be able to do it for a few days, but then I'd probably want more again

I hope it continues, and good luck with playing the guitar!

i also dont know how will i manage to do this, but for now its working. today is my 8 day of being non addicted! it was very hard in the beginning but now it s completely normal. thanks for your support!

lol.. got me to remember about the online internet addiction tester

Scored a 52 this time

neway I think it's cool to really have a good drive wanting to become a guitar hero. my old friend mike was the best guitar player I have ever met. He always had his acoustic with and jammed wherever we went. You are making a good choice

I took the online addiction test and scored a reassuring 45. That means that I don't seem to have an addiction that needs to be changed. There is a good thread about addiction on the forums. Go looking for it and you may find some interesting things to post on.

i am no longer addicted to....e-mail. did you know that people check their email about five times a day, and a quarter of them cannot go without it for more than three days at a stretch?
