| 574034 | 2007-07-29 23:27:00 | Something only you can control. Uninstall it, take a holiday away from the computer, find another hobby. I used to be like that on IRC but am rarely on it now. |

| 574037 | 2007-07-29 23:57:00 | hehehe I have seen kids playing Runescape and theyve been on all night, dragging themselves off to school the next day, or saying to me .. cough cough Im sick, Mum let me stay home! If uninstalling doesnt work, they reckon AA has a good 12 step program for addictions, just substitute alcohol for IM/net ;) |

| 574038 | 2007-07-30 00:41:00 | You could always pickup another hobby but than again you might get carried away and spend more time on that just like you do on IM. I was like you, first thing that I do when my pc starts was log into msn messenger and chat away. But decided to kick that habbit so I installed a few games that I can play online.. now thats the first thing I do when my pc starts, start playin for a few hours before doing anything else :D At the moment am thinking of something else that I can do to kick this games habbit that I got :D | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 574039 | 2007-07-30 00:53:00 | See eventually they will have special courses for addictive people. Computers and the addictions they give rise to will be the cause of all the malady in the world :) |

| 574040 | 2007-07-30 02:28:00 | I used to be like that with IM and chat rooms pmsl. Would stay up chatting till all hours and fall asleep half way through a sentence. :eek: I blame it on being young, bored and addicted. How did I rid myself of such a waste of time ... simple ..... I chatted sooo much , to sooo many people ....... listened to sooo many dramas, and sooo many idiots, over sooooo many years that I just .......... got over it. Now the thought of signing into my messenger makes me cringe, and the thought of going into a chat room ..... uuuurrrrgggghhh.:yuck: I reckon I just had to get it out of my system even if it took a few years. | never-u-mind (6500) | ||
