Hi My name is Mark and I am an Internetholic
I seriously think I am addicted to surfing the net, checking emails, working on my bizz online etc....I think Interent surfing etc is actually a disease officially?
I tried to take a weekend off last weekend.....and I just found excuse after exuse to log on and check things out.
So Friday afternoon I logged off and took the laptop to my friends house and told him I would pick it up Monday morning.
Oh man.....talk about withdrawal. I woke up Saturday morning and looked where my laptop normally is...now just an empty space. I knew if it was there I would have logged in. But I was glad I had no option but to do other things.
As it turend out it got easier as the weekend went on. It was my sons third birthday party on sunday and we had a great time with family and friends. Would i have sneaked a quick log in during this? But I couldn't.
I went to bed early every night....9:30 Friday/Sat/Sunday....LOL my nights out drinking are well and truly over.
I read books, relaxed, walked around with my son one evening on his new spider man bike.....Would I have forfitted some of this time if I could have logged on?
So I did it and now I need to push on. I am determine dto do this every weekend until I can trust my-self with not logging in on a weekend and evening any longer.
When I did log in Monday...nothing major. My bizz carried on. No-one needed me. There was no need for me to ever log in over the weekend. Everything ticked over.
Anyone else think they too might have an addiction problem with the Net? You'd be surprised how litle habits of logging in on a Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon, evenings, turn into major time vampires.
Something new soon.
