Hello! My name is Kelli and I am also and internet addict.

OK, let me tell y'all how bad I am. I started a temp assignment last week and, for some reason, the computer on my desk does not have internet acess . Why did I try to reconfigure the settings to try and get on the net? Why was I upset when I couldn't get it to work?? What's even worse, why do I click on the IE icon every few minutes so see if miraculously I'm going to be connected. LOL....poor me.

I feel very bad for you all, but I DO NOT have a problem!!!! I mean sure I check my email about 8 times a day, but who doesn't? And yeah, I put in 2 hours overtime at work one thursday just to wait for the new SkeePhi soap. And I admit I sometimes refer to you all in conversation with others like I know you all personally (ex. "...so Deltabrat sayes, 'yadda, yadda, yadda', and you know the person was unregistered?").
But I stand firm in my orignial statement: I do not have a problem! I can't quit anytime I want. I just don't want to, really... REALLY. I don't care what any of you say, my mom probably put you up to this anyway... your all against me, but I'll show you. I DON'T NEED ANY OF YOU!!!!!!!! I can be happy by myself, just me and AskJeeve. We'll be happy, just wait and see.

I am NOT addicted. I CAN STOP ANYTIME I WANT TO! But seriously, I check this site before I check my email. I mean, look at the times on my posts (like I don't have to get up in the morning! So sad, so sad...

(Humble, great minds think alike --- you and I were posting at the same time, but you beat me to the punch!)

Hello all:

I was reading in a magazine (the Competitor is a mag for athletes/triathletes/marathon runners, etc.) and I noticed an advertisement that made me think...hmmm....

It went something like...

Do you lose valuable work time to surf the Internet?

Do you often find yourself unable to concentrate on important tasks due to constantly thinking about what may be going on in Internet chatrooms?

Do you often ponder "conversations" or posts that you have read over the "net" and additionally obsess about what you will write in response to such posts?

Then you may be addicted to the Internet. For consultation and/or rehabilitation, call Dr. XYZ at ....(you get the rest).

I though to myself "Noooooooooo!"

I noticed that often when I check this page people respond IMMEDIATELY to posts by other people and myself, as if they were literally WAITING for additional posts to come in on a topic.

I'm afraid. AM I addicted? Do I need therapy/rehab? Sould I call chattersanonymous? What's going on here?

Well I just needed to vent.

I have to work now for approximately 5 minutes, then I'll check for responses to this and other topics.

See there...I am NOT addicted...

PEACE

This thread is just too funny! I'm internet addicted too but I'm working on withdrawal process. Very slowly.
Soror Ma-I have one to add for your list do you listen to your e-mail by phone?---people who use collegeclub will know what I mean.

You mean it's not just me. I'm sitting here, reading through the greekchat posts and chatting in an internet chat room in an effort to double my exposure to the internet per second! Maybe we can gather together to form some sort of support group.

[prospectiverushee]

This is the funniest thread I've seen by far. Yes,I'm a internet junkie. I don't know how I go along in life before the internet. What did I do for fun before the net?

Last semester I spent so much time in the computer lab in my dorm, I think my RA was about ready to set up a cot for me! LOL

I think that my addicition has gotten even worst since I discovered how to download mp3's. I only learned about a month ago,but you'd swear that I have been doing it for years.

Tickledpink, now sista friend, you know that's just sad! O.k., I admit I do that too! I just came home (it's raining out and I forgot my umbrella today)...I didn't use the bathroom, get something to eat, check my phone messages or anything... what's the first thing I do? Log on to this site! My hair and sneakers are damp as hell...yet I sit here and type. This is getting bad guys!

Hey all:

Just checking in to say Hi!!!

Yeah, it's 1:34 p.m. in LA and I was having withdrawals. I was at the gym and overheard someone speaking a couple of people discussing how they HATE the internet/hate people who always give out email addresses vs. home phone numbers and despise chatrooms, etc. I couldn't believe it. I found myself being really HARD on them during the aerobics class ( I am the instructor). The nerve of some.

Well anyways, I am here.
I got my car serviced and ran into someone who said he could set upmy own Website, I was so wxcited I almost pee-ed my pants...well...not THAT excited but you get the picture.

Good afternoon cyber-junkies anonymous.

What would I do without my fello junkies?

Hey are there any men out there? Women are usually more likely to admit they have a problem...seek help (really, even with healthcare which is why women tend to live longer than men). Where is the testosterone?

Come out, come out, wherever you are...we all have a problem in here and we want to help you...hello out there.

I am losing my mind.

Help me, please.

My name is Typhanye and I am a cyber-junkie.

Aaaaaahhhhh!!! Feel so good to "come out."

PEACE

We men can just control our internet urges better. We can quit anytime we want!

It has been three seconds since my last log on and as I type this message I feel as if I can somehow sense that I have e-mail coming through

The worst thing about me is that I work with a computer....yes, I am at work right now....I don't even have a computer at home and know that I am qiuting my job next month, why am I trying to figure out how long I can put off paying my rent so I can get a computer...I think I am terrible, but I think I figured it out, if I don'yt byuy food for the next two month and go with out electricity for a few weeks, I'll be fine.

Pray for me, cause I gotta get a computer at home or find another job like this......yeah right

Gotta cheack my e-mail...bye

[ZChi4Life]

Hello, my name is ZChi4Life and I'm definitely an internet junkie. In fact, I just bought a new (supa fast) computer so that I could access the internet better. And I guess it doesn't help that I am a computer consultant either! For shame, for shame! I know I need help but that's ok though. B/c of my internet addiction, I have learned so many wonderful things about so many people. I've also learned some awful terrible things, but I won't go there! I think we should start a club (is anyone on CollegeClub?). I just got an account on here and I think I've posted nearly 10 things today! Plus I started a new topic as well. And you can count on it that I'll be back as soon as get up for class tomorrow to see if anyone posted anything! Oh will it ever stop!?

*Must s-stop typ-ing...must st-stop...b-b-but inter-net...t-too much fun!*
