LOL! Yup! You are most definitely addicted to your computer! Sorry to be the barer of the bad news. I am truly sorry for this prognosis. But, you can be cured with some hard work and dedication. Step away from the computer. Let go of the mouse. LOL! I am not addicted to the computer. Don't get me wrong. I am on my computer for work all day long but, I didn't even get on my personal laptop once yesterday after work. Not a single time! LOL! Granted, I had a book I wanted to finish so, that took away from my computer time! LOL! But, I am pretty proud that I didn't even touch my laptop yesterday! LOL! So, to answer your question, I am not a morning person. So, I stay in bed as long as I can which means that I don't have as spare second to waste on the computer before I have to run out the door to head for work. So, I get up, brush my teeth, do my makeup, do my hair, get dressed, put on my jewelry and my perfume, grab my stuff and out the door I go! And, on the weekends I brush my teeth, head out for coffee with the hubby and then may get on my laptop once we get back or I might pick up a book to read...unless there is something on my TiVo to catch up on. So, how are you doing? Are you slowly letting go of your addiction yet? Don't lie to me! You are sitting there reading this! You haven't taken one step to get over your addiction! Shame on you! I am disappointed in you!

to be true, most of the time I do not even shut my computer off. Several times I left my PC open on the bed itself and woke up in the morning to find it fell off the bed hehehehe ... that you can call being careless. Addicted u can say as I take my breakfast, my dinner sitting infront of my laptop most of the time.

On the majority rule the computer is the first thing I do in the morning. It really depends on if hubby is still home or not; and if he is home and online, I will get online. But coffee is always the first thing.

Yes,i am a computer@ internet addict and so you are.I'll just could not be always had my days with computer as my parents will sure nag at me.Weekdays,im always with the school computer..from morning till late afternoon,i just sit infront the computer doing school stuffs,surfing the net at the same time listening to my lecturer talkings.I just feel glad that im able to be with the computer while studying as i study about it.Back at home,other than watching tv,my free time are use for computer especially late night.This bring so much naggings again to my ears by my parents.I just need to cut this habits. But sometimes,i had feel the sickness of facing the computer all day long.And i had also miss the internet even about a day without it.

I don't usually turn on the computer at day time unless I have to deal with my homework at those days or I have nothing else to do. I am used to turn it on when I am back at night. Now my roommates and I spend nearly the whole night in front of the computer which is much more than before. We don't know whether we are addicted too When I wake up in the morning, I just clean myself and then prepare for the breakfast. After that I begin my study.

I don't get up in the morning anymore. I'm not up until the afternoon and most of the time i do come straight to the computer. Yet there are days that i don't come on at all and then there are days that I'm on everyday; off and on during the course of a day. I wouldn't say that i'm addicted but it could be considered to be that. There are alot of other things that are more addictive than the computer now a days.
3 Jun 08
the same to you. when i get up the first what i do is opening the computer and do it all day. althought i can't get any happiness from it, when i get away from it i feel i don't know to do what. i am afraid i have been a salave of the computer.

The first thing I do is making breakfast and lunch for DH. He starts to work at 6 am and I get up with him at 5 am (he works 10 minutes from our home, so he can sleep a bit longer). Because I don't work outside the house (I choose to stay with the kids) I feel it's my job to make it as easy as I can for him to enjoy his workdays. When everything is ready I get myself ready and get everything ready for the oldest one to leave to kindergarten and wake the kids up at 7.15. If I have time before I need to wake the kids I put on the computer to read my mails.

Well, it's not because I don't want to put on the computer first thing in the morning, it's more that I forbid myself to do it. Otherwise I would be on this darn thing during all the day. Guess I'm addicted to, I'm just in denial LOL

Yes, I do the same thing. I check my email in the morning and then again first thing after work. And I'm still here mylotting before bed. I remember when I first got my computer about 6 years ago, all the people I worked with told me I would get tired of it and not spend as much time on it after awhile. But I spend more time on it now than I did then! Everytime I get bored with one thing, I find something new to do on it.

It's just normal . Lots of nice stuff (educational, sports, entertainment, etc) can be learn when you open the computer. As long as you don't forget your responsibility in your house and to your son, it's ok to be addicted .

Do you really wanna know baleleng2008? Don't be shock lol! The first thing I have to do when I wake up in the morning is... are you sure you really want to know? ha ha ha! I go to the bathroom and do my own personal business lol! Then I have to take a shower and get dressed. I'm not worry about my breakfast because we have a wonderful cook to prepare for our meals. Don't you think we are so bless??? I usually turn on my computer in the afternoon whenever I am in the office. But the most important thing I do in the morning is to communicate to God through prayer and put everything under His care and protection...:) Take care and God Bless You!

I mostly use my laptop which is in the Den. I get up in the morning, come through the Den and stop to turn on my laptop. Sometimes I sit down and wait until it boots up and check my mail. Other times I go into the kitchen and fix breakfast while it is booting up. Then, I come back to my favorite easy chair, grab my laptop and check out my mail! YES, I think we are probably both addicted to the computer!
