Internet Addiction

[Accountable for Me]

Internet Addiction

Kitty, my husband knows this has been a life line for me as well. I think he is feeling a bit neglected these days. We were split for a few months and have recently moved back in together. The few weeks prior I had not renewed my contract with my internet provider so I had a lot of 'catching' up to do here. (can you say addict??) I think he is jelouse and I don't blame him. I know he has expressed an interest in this as he is also a problem drinker. I am not ready to share yet LOL! Plus he is too sarcastic and comes across as being a jerk a lot and I wouldn't want the embarrassment! Ahhhh... but he is my sarcastic jerk. Once I turn him into a civilized man, I will let him join me!

Accountable, I think my bf thinks I say bad things about him here, but I asure him that I never do, if anything I am very proud of him and only ever have kind things to say about the way he supports me.

I haven't shown him any of my own posts the same way I wouldn't like him to read a diary if I kept one. But I did show him a post by someone else the other day. It was just a random post full of encouragement and wise words for one of our members (and I was very careful to preserve their anonimity), just to give him an idea of the sort of things we chat about, and he was very impressed by the level of commitment I think we all share in supporting each other.

I think our partners like to think they should be the ones to help us through our troubling times and they do feel a little neglected and helpless, but we have to do what is right for us, and for me that is coming here for support and hopefully helping others when I can.

My wife's a bit fed up with the amount of time I'm logged on here. It's only because it's taking away from the little time that we have together. I try to get as many posts read and replied to in the morning, before she gets up, and in the evening before she gets in from work but she'll usually catch me typing away at some point in the day. She knows it helps me stay on track though and often asks how my 'friends' are getting on.

Isn't it sad that our spouces can't be more tolerant, with our attraction to this site? Yikes, we are here to help ourselves, so what's the big deal. Okay, so we are having a little fun in the process? It's better than going to an AA meeting or Group Therapy, huh?

alone_1,
How hard do you hit it.......and where.:H
Accountable, what you said about the idle chat.....my son (21) said that I'm always in a bad mood when I'm on the computer. I don't look up and just grunt replies. Very rude I know. I've learned to look up and smile (vacantly) whenever I'm being spoken to. I think that's wearing a bit thin now. Susan asked me a couple of days ago how someone here was getting on and I said that I didn't know. "What do you mean you don't know? How can you not know?" We had a small chat and I promised to pay more attention to the 'real' world.
A total addict.

I am hooked too and so bonded with my name lucky. I swear I would respond to it if someone called me lucky in real life. And I have developed a great affinity for all ducks.

Yesterday I got an e-mail from a customer who said she was the luckey one assigned a specific task. She immediately replied back saying luckey? lucky? because she did not know how to spell it. All I saw on my Blackberry was lucky? And it freaked me out. I thought she knew my MWO identity.

Lucky, my love you are safe here, not too worry.
Your aviator should recieve some type of award for creativity.
I am laughing out loud, and rolling on the floor.
Thanks for making my day.

Lucky you avitars are craaaazy!!! They really crack me up.

Mona you're right my partner would really freak if I went to AA, at least he knows where I am when I'm online.

Mind you I think my internet use is getting a little bit out of hand.

I've joined a forum for Horse riding and another one for owners of Ragdoll cats so I'm always chatting to someone about something.

There have been many times in my life though when I've been too p****d to even turn the computer on let alone use it properly and I've woken up twice in the past to 2 ruined laptops, a cracked screen and one shorted out because I'd spilt a drink over it.

So at the end of the day at least this addiction is healthy and at this moment in my life neccessary I think. Going now because I haven't done a scrap of housework yet and my significant other will be home in about half an hour.

Gotta rush,
