Addiction!? I'm not addicted! I can stop any time! It's just social internet use. Nothing more. I swear.

the internet for me is somethign to do when i have nothing else to do - i.e. a last resort. I don't really miss it if I dont use it, but more often than not i find myself w/ plenty of free time w/ nothing else to do to mess around on it.

It used to be an 'i can control myself if i really wanted to' thing... but ever since i joined these forums... i've realized that i'm hopeless.

My addiction is perfectly controllable if I have something to do.... in fact, I take just about every opportunity to do something else other then surf the net. If I'm bored though.. it's without question I'll be here.

There has been some whispering around the dinner table, I think my family may be planning an intervention.

Lets just put it this way, when I was on a cruise visiting islands like jamaica and puerto rico. I literally had dreams about being at home using the internet

It's not that bad when I have nothing else to do. People say that when they're board they clean, watch tv, etc. I go online and talk at the forums.

Without internet, I've no access to many of my sources of information (purely scientific ;) ) which means that all of my research- and development projects would come to a halt.

It's not that I'm addicted, but thanks to my PC's and the Internet, I've a life :D

hmm, mine is pretty bad, I have a 700kbps cable modem at home, and am at work using a lightning quick T1. Ohh life is tough.

Heck without email, I wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone not in the same room as me, due to my dislike of phones.
