I think, I am addicted to two things: computer games and internet. I've played computer games from morning till night. once, from evening until dawn. Likewise, the Internet, i've used the Internet up to dozen hours. I think, this is a bad habit, I might as well try to reduce gradually.

I would suggest you to take break every 30 minutes if you decide to spend lots of time in the internet.

Hello Praveen, Welcome to Mylot! I guess you are a new member here? For me, I like Mylot. I admit I have addicted at Mylot! I could not resist not to log on at Mylot everyday. I simply like to response in discussions. I like to post new discussions too. I get excited when my discussions receive good response. I spend about 3 hours a day in Mylot! I am happy to be brought by my brother in law to Mylot! I even earn some pocket money here every month.

I too am very much addicted to many things. And the thing which I am most addicted to is internet. Without sitting on internet, I just cannot stay.I love to do internet. I do internet almost the whole day. I mean I take a break of at least 5-10 mins or half an hour and again start doing. I know spending this much time on the computer would be bad for my health and so I am trying to stay far away from my computer as possible.

Internet Addiction - Computers, internet are so adddictive you can't let go of it !
I was addicted to internet, used be around for 16 hours or more, sometimes i'd stay up the whole night. It was really stressful, I had sleep disorders and eating disorders. After I joined work I thankfully didnt get as much time to be online and I finally was able to get a grip on my computer madness.:) You should get a job, it will help you for sure:P Happy Mylotting!

Oh my, I seems I was into that experience too... when I was in high school up to college I was addicted to red alert and generals computer game. I often start playing after dinner up to dawn even up to 8 in the morning with my friends. we challenge each other. We compose like 3 on 3 each team. We finished the one game up to 2hours to be exact. And we really enjoy the game so much because we don't even notice its already morning. But now I am 23 i spend more time on reading, visiting community sites and if get bored to those stuff. I play computer games but 1hour is enough for me.

I'm glad you were able to wean yourself off...there are actually rehab programs for addictions to computer games now! I think it's pretty common for people to find things that are enjoyable and also take their minds off their problems, and the next thing they know they're addicted to those things. People can become addicted to just about anything.
