Yup, I've finally come to terms with myself that I am indeed addicted to the internet. I'll admit, at first I would joke on SW saying, "oh I can't live w/o my SW" or tell my sister that I think I'm becoming addicted to the internet but now I KNOW it's true.
This past Saturday, I decided to have my internet service shut off. At $40/month for just the internet I figured that I'd be better off just using my universities computer lab on campus. And when I'm home, I can focus on doing my classwork.
Since Saturday all I've done is lay in my bed. I don't want to work, go outside, hell I dont even want to go to class. I got up Wednesday and headed to campus where I got on SW immediately to post.
I have 2 chapters of Calculus homework that I have not even STARTED on (and may I add I don't know a dam thing about Calc) but alas, I've been in the university computer lab since 6pm online. I CANNOT STOP!!
I've never done drugs before so I can't really compare the two. But dam, this is definately an addiction. when I'm online, I'm happy, carefree and all my stress is pushed away to the back of my mind. When Im' away from the internet, I'm irritable, sluggish, depressed, and I just want to sleep all day.
I even did a google search on internet addiction. I found a few surveys that I took. On one, I got a 92% out of 100% that just sealed the deal for mehttp://www.netaddiction.com/resource...ction_test.htm
I've tried looking online for some solid resources in my area but I can't find any. Does anyone else think they are or have gone through something similiar?
