Struggling with my addictions!

I have two addictions that are really messing up my schedule and my sleep! One is myLot. I keep logging in several times a day (and night) just to see what is going on! Then I found this game on my computer called spider solitaire. Now I am on the computer all the time and getting nothing accomplished! My eyes are grainy and I think I'm getting carpet tunnel in my right hand! My poor husband thinks he's been abandoned. He may be right! I keep hoping my obsessions will decrease pretty soon! Anyone got any suggestions?

Go on a holiday with your husband, somewhere you can't access the internet. I recently went on a holiday with my wife and kids to a beach resort, we had cable TV but no internet access and it was good to get away from it for a week!

That is a hard way to deal with an addiction! I hope you are not in severe withdrawals!

You may love what you are engaged in at present .However too much of anything is undesirable. Try to evade your addictive interests and find something worthwhile to do. Good luck.
