Do you ever feel like

maybe this is mostly a waste of time? All this mindless chattering on an internet message board. Maybe not you, but personally i spend way to much time here. I'm 18 now, i'v been on almost nonstop since i was 14. Its a great place, my second home. I find great comfort, and friends here. but i am highly addicted. First place i come when i wake up, last thing i do before bed. Lots of little pop in sessions throughout the day, usually at least a few hours at night. I had the admins ban me for a month alittle while back, but i used a puppet account. Sometimes i can use moderation, but most of the time, like right now, I should be in bed with my girlfriend. I gotta wake up tomorrow, and go job hunting. What the fuck am i doing? I need help. I shudder at the thought of all the R.L. things i have missed out on, because i was wasting my time here.
I'm alittle buzzed on Ultram right now, but i meant everything i said. I'v gotta learn moderation. Mabey a big break would help. half a year?

A full-time job sure helped me appreciate the internet more and used it a lot less. I can go days without posting now.

haha, my fulltime job has allowed me to post a lot more than when i was a fulltime student (then again, i work on a computer all day long, and find it definitely improves my overall work to take a 5 minute break every 30 minutes or so). i figure when i go back to school in the fall, my posting will decrease significantly. until then, it's nice to chat with people throughout the work day

This site is changing peoples' lives for the better in SO many ways.
It took me almost 4 years to realize how much I need this community and how much I can benefit from being a part of it. I can only hope to be able to give back something even nearly as valuable.
Yes, it's a major addiction and it's also a way to find your true self and help you make the adjustments that need to be made.
I will likely find myself forever in debt to this community.
Never will I ever feel it's a waste of my time, ever.
Each case is different. You must find your own comfort level with amount of time you spend here vs. what your concience tells you to do.

I'm having my internet disconnected for some time.
A month, maybe two.
I have a lot of 'me' stuff to work on.

this place is what you make of it.
there is enough worthwhile discussion to make it appealing to me, and I come here to contribute or learn about things that cannot normally be discussed in public.
but yes you can easily waste away your life on the internet..... balance is key.

Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Sometimes I think I spend too much time here, I wake up with the shroomery, and the glow of the screen is the last thing I see before I go to sleep.
But at the same time, I do on occasion, step away from the computer, not to mention if I didn't come here, where would I go?
This community keeps me sane for the most part, its like a little comfort.
And some days I think, its just words on a screen, time wasted to one day be lost for ever like all the m.i.a shroomerites, but we still remember them. Its just the same as any phase in life past, just like irl friends you had and grew apart from. Were you wasting time then?

I will never Leave for good, and forget about my shroomerite friends. Sometimes i can find balance, but other times i log on compulsivelly. It's summer, so i'll probly be to busy with work, and swimming, and camping, that it won't be a problem. But mabey a break is in order.

yeah I find during the winter I'm always here, I dread leaving the house and venturing out into the snow, but in the summer I'd much rather be outside.
See how it goes, if you still can't get away from here, ask for a ban, cancel your internet for a while....
