I marked myself as addicted, because lets face it, I am ALWAYS staring at the screen of my monitor. I really should be doing many other things, but it's seems that almost all my waking hours are in front of the computer... whether it be for work, play, television, reading, research... there's just a never ending supply of stuff that I can do online that doesn't let me break away from it.

I always think to myself... if only there were more hours in a day... then I could do all this on the internet, and make time to do things that aren't on a computer, but hey, I'm sure if there were more hours, I'd probably just be doing the same thing that I am now - spending it doing one thing or another on the computer.

There's a few times a year that I go away for a while (like a week camping...) and I almost go insane because I can't get online. It's strange how dependent a person can become of a machine. And to think, that I grew up without a computer at all... and after we finally got one, we didn't even get the internet until a couple years after that. It seems strange to think that there was a time that I could be perfectly happy without my computer lol.

But yea, I'm thinking the same thing is true for me, like bishoujo said above... I think I'm more addicted to the internet, rather than the computer. Yes, there are many things that I do while offline... like reading, music, movies and such, I tend to have to pause them in the middle just so I can check my emails, and my web site stats and stuff, because I feel like I need to know right now if anything's changed.

So, you wanna know just how addicted I am? I've been up since around 11:30am... from then, I went straight on my computer... where I stayed for a while, then I got up and did all my getting ready stuff... and went back on my computer... until it was dinner time, so I braked for dinner (I was hungry, cause I didn't really have breakfast or lunch... too much computering going on), and then after came right back to the computer again where I'll stay until around 2am... when I force myself to go to bed, because if I don't I tend to stay at my computer until 5am or later... and then I never wake up

Yep, I'm addicted

Addicted? Probably... but I'll lay off it! I swear!!! Just give me a few more hours!!!!

So anybody knows how to get over it?It is really hard to staty away from it.If anyone knows about it,please do let me know.

as i have told in many other forums, if you feel you are addicted then try to divert your attention to something else.

it maybe reading books, driving around your town simply, watching your mom cook etc.

those things will get you to divert your attention and in long term process it will totally diminish your addiction.

best luck to you!

I'm now saying that I'm a Computer Addict because I cannot sleep or I cannot live without using my Computer! In 1 day, my computer is opened from 6:00 AM until 8:00 PM except in school days obviously. For me, my Computer is my very cherished thing this time, it's very addictive and it's so wonderful to use it. I love to upgrade and clean it. But, I always explore things in my computer.

Here's the story: Since I'm a Computer addicted, I usually explore and explore my computer files in my hard drive. I always delete, change, move, and etc. I usually find some uninstalled programs which are obviously are un-used. So, I keep on clicking them. So, nothing happened. 1 time, I clicked a program which is already unistalled and it's unsused. I clicked that program and a Command Prompt popped-out and start saying, files corrupted repeatedly. After that, I close it and I thought it was only a joke. When I open some file like TuneUp utilities, Yahoo Messenger, that files didnt show up. So I decided, oh well, I need to reboot. When I booted up, I saw a big change, my Log in thingy became black, and when I was logged in, my computer is asking for the CD of Windows XP. But I dont have any CD because when I purchase my computer, it's already pre-installed. All files arent working, so I decided to have a reformat.

Oh well, in that story, I learned that I'm totally addicted to my computer and I cant stop exploring files and things in my hard drive and in my computer!

I am addicted to computers, that is a fact, i do not only need computers all the time, but i am also addicted to browse the internet and everything that it has to offer to me, to us all, and much more, i am also addicted to search the internet for information, i am also addicted to use the internet to explore system/networks/computer vulnerabilities, i am also addicted to use the internet to make money with my websites, i am also addicted to created websites just for the fun of it and to upload it to my favorite free web hosting services on the internet, i am also addicted to chat with new persons i meet on the spot, just for the fun of it, of course, and many more activities that i am used to do for a long time now, at least 5 years.

I could say that i a not addicted to computers but i am an honest person, besides, i am 30 years old, almost anyone in my generation would be lying if you know what i mean, my generation loves to use computers/internet/games/, to explore the computers world in every sense of the word.

I admit it. I'm addicted to the Computer.
I can sit in front of a Computer screen for 22 hours and not get the slightest bored!
It's like Hoover, it sucks you in, you can't resist the Internet's after all.

Ever since I started with computers my social life has plunged into the depths and I mostly spend my time inside now.

Hmm, I'd say you are an addict. That is not always bad. I would say, as long as you are productive on the computer, you are doing fine.

What I mean is, if you are using your computer time to make graphics, do school work, or better yourself in any way or create something, you are merely exercising your creative nature through the computer. That is my objective and in that I hope to see an addiction.

I cant not live without a compuer! I think I really need computing theropy. Im seriously addicted. I get mood swings coz Im on it so much! I honestly think people should be able to get computing help or somthing, LOLOL.

But.. overall Computers Rules! LOL
