I Think I am Addicted / myLot

Adding to my list of addictions. I am addicted to chocolate, and I think I am also addicted to the internet. I took to it like a duck to water when I first started using it. I love doing research and this is so excellent for that. But I recently read some about being addicted to it. Like my grandson and his video games. All day, every day. So here is my list: * It is always on my mind. Nope. * Repeated failed attempts to reduce or stop use. Yep. * Lying about the true amount of time online. Nope * Feeling, moody irritable or depressed if not online. No. (Depressed most of the time anyway so.......?!) * Feeling intense pleasure while using the internet. Nope. * Losing interest in hobbies or activities you once enjoyed. No. * Hygiene issues, physical or medical complaints? No. I think I'm okay. How about you?

I didn't know you could be addicted to the internet, but interesting.... Sounds like my son; the video game thing...and he'd probably say yes to a lot of those. I don't think I am addicted to anything really

@celticeagle Well that is great. I am glad to have the internet too, and chocolate always helps.

Nice to know you're not truly addicted. Chocolate puts me in a good mood. But I am not addicted to it.

I'm not addicted to the internet but I am dependent on it. I do my banking online. I transfer money from one bank to another using it. I communicate with friends from another country online. I do a lot of important things online that not having it would be a burden. But my hobbies are not interest dependent. And it doesn't disrupt my daily activities that isn't related online including my hygiene.

That's where I am at too. I do banking and grocery shopping online. It's all so easy and fast.
