Unhappy Forum Addiction

My name is Kain 99 and I am an Forumholic! Today was the first full day that I had no access to my PC. I was in meeting after meeting listening to the monotonous drone of the executive drum and all I could think about was these forums... I need help! May the footprints in the sand guide me! Am I the only forum freak? This is my first forum encounter! Am I forever doomed?

No, but I've found over time that I can come here by choice rather than a compulsion. I've been here almost since it started, and I have a few others I go to. The best 'cure' is still reality - spending time away from this place, hanging out with 'dirt' people (as DeeJay once referred to them - people who live on ground rather than in cyberspace). It's cool to enjoy this place, but you have to be able to leave it if you want to.

You're far better off than if it were Jack Daniels or heroin! Enjoy!

I am just as bad. I don't post often but I read these about 10 times a day when I am slow at work (like now). I only post when I have something really important that I want to say but I read all of them. I have been a member since last Nov. I can say I don't usually look at them on the weekend though. Don't feel bad, just catch up reading and enjoy!

Forums can definitely be addicting.
Believe me, I know from personal experience.
For example, I was EXTREMLY addicted to this forum for the longest time, but through perserverance, support and the "cold turkey" method, I managed to break the addiction. That's why I don't post....uhh...uh-oh...wait.
What am I doing here?
Arrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
