 6 Month Internet Ban a Success

I didn't exactly count the days, but I just signed on for the first time since May or June. The hardest part was not having ready access to porn, but I lived. I seriously doubt I'll ever go that long without ever again.

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.

Welcome back.
So... why were you banned for 6 months?

wow...that actually sounds pretty hard. I don't think I would survive not going on the internet for that long. 95% of my entertainment has to do with the internet in some way.

It was self-inflicted. I wanted to try new things, like exercise. My lungs thank me

As far as I can remember, I've never been banned from the shroomery. I'm a real class act like that.

good job. i was thinking about doing the same thing.. but the only way it'd be possible is if i were to go out of the country. i'm thinking south america. somewhere with more distractions and less outside influence.

It was a move to a smaller town that sparked it for me. Back in the big city, it was probably necessary to "connect" or whatever the hell you want to call it.

most the time i just sit around my house and play instruments. but the temptation to get online once a night and check things out is too much.
i could always sell my computer and buy a new banjo.

The most I could get for my hunk of junk would be a new harmonica. Doesn't sound like such a bad idea

I don't know where I would be without my computer and the Internet. It's taught me so much more than I could have ever known.

I'd say one is solidly addicted when he gets into the 20,000 post range on any website. I couldn't get by. Its just so awesome to have such a vast amount of information available to me at anytime. Its astounding, really.

Unfortunately, I'll have to wait one more day or so before I can start updating my music collection. I only survived because I had a stockpile large enough to play for a month without repeat

I've been getting into these private music trackers lately. Its awesome. Any album I want is at my fingertips.

It was nice using OINK on a 6MB/s connection. I could download more music in a day than I could handle.

Perhaps more interesting, I've also had a 12 week ban on crack. I miss the stuff much more than I ever missed the internet.

Oink got shut down by the authorities.
