: It snuck up on me...again. I am addicted to the internet, checking email, chat, exploring, you name it I'm doing it. I feel like I'm glued to the chair...no interest in going out and socializing. I'm sinking into the black hole.

: Can anyone relate? How did you recover?

I hear ya loud and clear. That was me a year ago. How did I recover? Therapy. You see my shy nature led me to seek human connection online. Now I know that isn't possible and only leads to feelings of increased isolation. After all one can't see facial expressions, hear voice, feel human touch and so on.

Please do get in therapy and find out why you're online. You're probably avoiding life too. It will only get worse, trust me. It wont be easy, okay harder than heck and your willpower will be tested to the limit. I wish you well.
