Intervention

journey258 — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:11:09 GMT

How does one wean themselves from the myfico forums? I'm addicted. I can't stop reading the threads. My son has literally snatched the laptop twice in the last 24 hours. I even read the threads from my blackberry. Its been worse the last few days since I've actually started posting. I've been a forum stalker for almost a year. Please help.

My computer has been in the shop for a week. I've been laying on the floor twitching, vomiting, can't eat, lost 20 pounts, sweating, the chills, intestinal disturbances.....

Very wrong Booner! Every addict always has a back up supply. Even Frugal would throw frugality to the wind and immediately get a second computer if the first started acting funny.

I try to limit myself to only surfing twice a day (once at 9:00am, once at 4:00pm). It never works out that way though. The real time suck comes when you sit there constantly refreshing the screen, waiting for new content to get your fix...

Nah the real pain comes while you wait for the boss to leave the area so you can unpush the boss key. Those few minuets can seem like an eternity.

Seriously. I really wish I could stop reading the boards all day. I have homework. This is ridiculous.

Isn't the first stage in recovery denial and the second stage acceptance... if you deny it that means you are addicted and if you do say you are and not deny it, aren't you skipping a step...

There is no way to win.
