Im addicted to the computer, how to break it
I'm was addicted to the computer since I was 6, it's like smoke. You got to get on the computer, and know my friends are addicted too. Some ppl says its a type of diease, but anyway everyone thinks I'm a computer geek but I dont want to go on the computer. But I got to. What are some ways to break addiction?
Answer:breaking addiction is very hard to do. like quiting smoking, breaking any addiction takes practice. Practice reducing your time spent on the computer by imposing a daily limit. do not exceed the daily limit. set a timer to go off when its time for you to stop using the computer. Get off the computer when the timer goes off. do something else, like clean the house, read a book, go outside, take a hike, or a bike ride. Keep your mind occupied. also set limits for spending money on computer gadgets and gizmos as well.
you'll have to start within yourself and apply some discipline, and then explore the ways you can break the bad habit. i'm starting to break my bad habit, nail biting (which actually have evolved to eating my finger's skin), by using band-aids on my thumbs. maybe you have to substitute another hobby for that computer addiction. and one more thing, you have to know WHY you are addicted to it, in order to stop it. what is it in the computer that makes you want for more? comtemplate for a while and you'll start to find a way to break that habit of yours. good luck!
its a work in progress. been addicted to my comp for a long time , but i manage to pull myself away from it with the help of other addictions like ps2 and tv.
