Addicts in my house!!

I am addicted to the internet also. Have been for many years. I never have had an account on Pogo although I play there sometimes. I usually take my breaks on Facebook and enjoy several of the games there. I have a grandson who wants to get on the net. Need to get him a router first.

In my family, each person has their own hobby and addiction. And it is only me who got addiction with the internet.. When we are all in each other's addiction, it seems that we all live in the different world.. :P No talk, no communication, everyone got focused..

There is only one person who became addicted to this house because of the fact of games too. She does not play pogo but other types of games. After realizing what she has missed out in, she in now learning to drive and has a internship. I guess those two things will let her be more outgoing.

I do not know.. I do not know who many hours you have to be on the internet before they declare you an internet addict. I have the computer on all the time, but when I do not want it all I had to do is to close the lid and I am certainly not going to run to the other room and turn off the internet to prove that I am not. Oh yes and the internet does go off, but then I will use my laptop to write on my book. So does that mean instead of internet addiction, I am computer addicted? And I certainly am not going to write long hand to prove that KI am not. Yes I do think that the word addiction is being overused.

Oh yeah! There's one desk top, 2 laptops, an ipad, 2 smartphones, and sometimes the DSi also running on the net. Everybody in the house are usually up to something. When my kids cross a line, losing internet priviledges is even an effective tool to keep them back in line.

It must be awesome to live with other people who have the same online interests as you! I bet it also goes for a good conversation starter in real life. My cousins live in the same house...Room even!...And they play a lot of Facebook games together. I think it'd be cool to play with someone whose right in front of you. I may be way into technology, but I think it sounds awesome!

Getting addicted is quite easy and to come out of it is really a difficult part for each and every individual in this world. I had just one bad habit of having soft drinks during my college days which was not controllable and now i am out of it and quite happy to have avoided by my own help

I don't think that I am addicted to the internet, but I am dependant on it because I earn my money online, and have done for almost four years now. I could live without the internet if I wanted to, but obviously that thought just isn't practical simply because of the fact that I am earning here. My family are addicted, though. They will spend a lot of time online playing games or just looking at jokes on websites. I am all for having a good time, but when it starts to take over your life, you just know that something has to be done about it.

My house is full of addicts too. There is always some kind of internet connection on...my daughter's Ipod and the other does Xbox live. There is a desktop downstairs that my b/f has going all the time and then there is my lap top...which has actually had a bit of a break the past few weeks. The good thing about the wifi is that we can all do what we do while we are with each other

Yeah, we have the addiction thing going on over here too. For me it's trying to make a few bucks online, coupled with a few games (mainly hidden object). My daughter is a youtube, netflix addict. When she gets out of the bed in the morning she goes straight to the pc. I have to stop her from getting on at all during the school week because she cannot concentrate on anything else (like homework) and she gets to bed too late. My husband does not get online at all, but he will entice my daughter to put on a netflix movie from time to time.

Well, though I think that my children might be on their way to becoming addicts to the internet, right now I am the only one that has a full blown addiction to the internet. I do all kinds of things on the internet like playing on winster, writing articles, messing around on facebook and also spending time here on mylot and working on my scrapbooks. I only really developed this problem after I started staying at home with the kids.

LOL! Oh my! Thanks for this discussion because I realized that we here in our home aren't alone! Lol! I and my husband are addicted to internet as well. We can last the day without talking a lot because we're too focused with our own laptops. We both own one each and so the house is a very quiet place when we're on our laptop addiction again. Haha! We're not addicted to games though, but to internet and my husband to watching movies and reading cartoons online.

not only at our home but there are many addicts in different ways. some people are addicted to some social sites always, some are with coffee, tea, some are with smoking, drinking etc.. we need to take care of rightly and keep them in control.

Fortunately i am the only addict in house. Addict to online games and blogging. Long before me and nephew were addict of Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) it was so addicting game. The aim of the game is to defend your frozen throne from your rivals or other tribe. Sadly, now I cannot play the DOTA anyone because of my busy schedules. I really miss the game, some say that there's a lot of changelogs in the game. I wonder how can I cope up with that.

Yep, we all use the internet for one thing or another. I think I may be the worst.

Well, there are two of us addicts in our house, but we aren't playing the same games... however, we will chat each other on im rather than walk into another room...

yes there are 5 people in my house who are internet addicts

wow thats really bad, how do u guys pay the bills there? lol I dont know the game u all play and I dont think I want to play it. Do u all run to the toilet at the same time or try and hold it till the last minute lol. Addicts in my home, well we are tea drinkers and we watch tv and some are on cellphone, as for the net I would say I am, because im on here all the time unless when im away from home I dont miss it. I think with me its because its here, and plus I have a business to look after, a website etc stuff. So yeah im proud to say im half addicted to internet.
