Interesting...I felt I was addicted for a few years, when I first got
online, and yes, most of it was around IRC, too. My family suffered as I
"surfed" the net. I was up till the wee hours of the morning, trying to
learn as much as I could. But if this was an addiction at one time.. why
would I be able to continue to use the Internet, and use it an appropriate
amount of time now? I thought if you had an addiction to something, you
had to quit it completely, to stop the addiction?
