Yeah, the computer can be very addictive, but if you know that you are addicted to it you should be taking measures to cope with that addicted because being too addicted to something is not good. As we all know the best is not too little or too much, but moderation. I myself can be glued to the computer at times, but I still make it an effort to detach myself from the computer. I always tell myself that the computer needs to rest too, just like humans. It is not good to let the computer overheat. So I switch off my computer for about 1 hour for every 5 hours of usage. I think you can do that too, and slowly take off more hours if possible. Another possible option is to go for a trip elsewhere and not to bring your computer with you, but this will certainly hit you hard. I just went on a camping trip last week, and I survived without the computer for 3 solid days. When you're having fun elsewhere, the thought of the computer won't creep into your mind..... Oh well, hope one of these will work for you....

Use the PC only as a tool to pass time or earn money, do not become dependent on it......PC addiction is the same as any other addiction, you have to give it up on your own,nothing else will help.

i think i would be like you sitting infront of the pc 24/7 had i been single but circumstances really do occur for a reason. my only words of wisdom is to still observe the same normal things like eating on time and cleaning your space a few minutes each day. if you're paying your bills fine and good. however, if you're still living with your parents and they are the ones paying the electric bills, well, i would only advise you to dole out a few dollars or money when you get your online earnings. enjoy this opportunity to sit infront of the pc all the time. it might not happen again .

You really sit down in front of your PC 24/7? You should take a break at each 6 hours for nap, eat, drink, socialize, etc. Personally I can't sit down in front of my computer 24/7 lol, I always take a break when I feel tired. My tips is, when your eyes or body feel tired, take a break! Leave your computer, and do some other activity like eating, drinking, nap, or even sleep. Your body need rest, or you could be sick. :)

Just ride it out man! It'll either pass, or you're and addict for life. Don't try to fight it. If after about a year, you still feel the same way, then seek help. By that, I mean seek people that will help you upgrade your PC, internet bandwidth, etc, because you're gonna start feeling that everything is too slow! All the best!

Well, I am not sitting in the PC for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Maybe I sit for about 40 hours a week in front of the PC but yeah, this is really addictive. Mylot is much more addictive than any other site in this world!
