Are you always successful at resisting temptations?

For the past few weeks, the biggest temptation is the internet. I want to be online all the time. Even if I should be doing something else that is important, I just think about getting online - well, I am able to focus on other interesting stuff as well - but a lot of the time I would use my spare time to be online. Though I can resist temptations at times, most of the time, when it comes to being online, I fail. Another temptation is eating junk food. I am not always successful at resisting this temptation. How about you?

I am no good at resisting temptations . I am often online when I should be doing something more useful because it is so addictive lol . There are some temptations I am able to reist but when it comes to being on the internet I have a hard time staying away from it . It seems at times it is the only thing I do for fun . We have 3 computers in our house and yet everyone wants to be on the newer one because it is faster . If someone is on this one we don't tend to use the other one so I guess I can resist temptation if I don't want to go on something that is slower lol .

Yes, I know what you mean, the internet is just so tempting that I forget the rest of what I am supposed to do just to have a little surfing here and there. I would remind myself to just do this for a while but to my surprise, It's been hours facing the monitor.. It really is tempting no matter what, especially now that I am hooked to online gaming.. =D

Always successful at resisting temptations? What a beautiful question to ask! Well, not all the time...there're times you can't help yourself to resist temptations.

I've had problems with being addicted to the Internet. Sometimes it gets out of control and I need to take a break from it. I get very addicted to message boards.

I try to fight off bad temptations but sometime they have the better of me. I've heard someone saying that temptation is a ..... it make us all the same. I prefer to eat proper food but occasionally I do eat junk food, I guess I'm like everybody else. Take care and have fun surfing the net...

I cannot resist getting online on internet.Every day I would say to myself,not today and I end up getting hook up on net.I will say,"not more than an hour but I get tempted for using net for more and more hours"..I wish I can get rid of it,I want to concentrate on other activities also,but net is great!

I can resist the temptation to online. Even though i need to do something else like finish my story or do my homework. I find it is hard to resist especially i have 24 hours connection. Sometimes i even stay up until late night.

I used to be unsuccessfull at resisting temptations for delicious foods in the past time, it is this that makes me fat and damaged my liver functionally, now I have to control my appetite intentionally so as to protect my liver. As for the internet, I still can not help being online.

i'm pretty bad with the internet but thats because 99% of my work is done online. I work with a number of companies around the world, but because of the time differences, i have to be online at odd times. It annoys my partner sometimes, and there are days when i think "screw it, i'll get a normal job" but then i think about it more and realise, no i dont want to be controlled.
