How has anyone who has been addicted to craigslist personal ads gotten away from it. I thought I was joking around and laughing about the matter but I got trapped inside and kept emailing people even though I was in a committed relationship with someone I wanted to marry which I have no ruined and am trying to rebuild.Scot

I was never concerned about viewing too much explicit content on the internet. I never purchased any content, just veiwed what was freely available. I enjoyed spending time in a chat room, posting images and GIFs for fun, doing silly role play, and openly discussing our interests. In fact, being able to finally talk about it with other people actually made me feel better about myself. Then, I...

I'm an undergraduate and I'm a final year student. I have to do a research project too. So it is obvious that I have to use the internet for my accademic work. But after I start browsing I'm not looking for what I need to be looking for, but other unnecessary stuff. This has a big impact on my studies. Are there any suggesions for me to get rid of this?

Last night I was encouraged by an anonymous person that I met on Omegle, to chat Via Skype, I let them watch me strip even though their camera was 'broken' then I entertained them. At the end of our 'conversation' a message appeared that started, 'while you were playing I was downloading all of your e-mail contacts and files from your computer......'I didn't finish reading the message, I deleted...

we all spend hours a day on the net. so what do you actually DO on the net? do you know why you do it?i go on DS, youtube, check email, listen to music and do random google searches as well as other bits and pieces. i find that youtube is especially addictive. i can spend hours and hours watching so many videos at one time! for me it's mainly boredom and it's a distraction from my depression.

I have quit cold turkey but the withdraw is killing me. Before I quit i would spend every waking moment on the computer(i played video games). I would neglect my friends, family, and higien, and school. I suffer from clinical depression and the computer helped me forget all my responsibilitys that made me depresed, stress and bored like work, school, chores, and higiene. On the 10th of march this...

Let's make a list of other things to do besides being on the internet.I'll start.Watch television.Go outside for a walk.Do chores like laundry.Now it's your turn.

I work full-time during the week and spend too much time on the internet watching television or movies (netflix and Hulu). It's affecting my schoolwork. I get fearful and lazy and watch these things instead......when I should be doing my homework or going out with friends. This has been a problem for me since I was a child. My nanny was a television set. I feel numb and brain dead. I've read the...

I can't keep myself permanently away from chat rooms. It blows my mind that after a few weeks or months away i just run back to it. I need to know how anyone else has coped with it and what they did to stop it.

I usually spend over 8 to 12h a day..and I feel it's still not enough.

It's becoming a problem for me.

Hi there,I spend a lot of time on the internet.... like a lot of time...I'm not a gamer, mainly just browsing.When I was 21 I didn't spend much time on the internet and I had normal hair colour. And then when my internet addiction got into full swing when I was 22, I started to get some grey hair and then by the time I was 23 I had lots of grey hair.I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a...

So I'm new to this group, but certainly not the internet; I'm a blogger and pretty much addicted to social networking, although I'll deny it in person.Sometimes I start things that I can no longer keep up with, like a blog or a forum account, etc., due to other life stressors, and it is always hard for me to leave these things on a notice instead of just outright abandoning them. I always panic...
