Whoa! See? Great minds think alike! This weekend I spend almost 6 hours research back threads and I didn't see these (then again I didn't specifically seach for "addiction") So, my blooper.

BUT... in my own humble defense, I will say that, after reading these threads, my specific QUESTIONS had not yet been asked -- is what I'm doing NORMAL, how many HOURS are people spending at LSPG.

But if ya wanna slap my wrist... can you be gentle... please?!! :biggrin1:

Oh, no, I didn't mean it as an admonition. I was just showing that, from time to time, others find their time here to be an addiction as well. As far as being "normal", well... do any of us really wanna go THERE? :tongue:

I go in waves of spending hours here per day, to only spending a few minutes every few days (OK, typically, I pop on here for a minute, once a day, to at least see if I have any messages). There was another semi-related thread here a while back along the lines of, "Are you a sex addict?". They asked five or six questions. All "addiction" probes typically come down to, "Is it interfering with your 'normal' life?" When I answered "yes" to, I think, 4 out of 6, a friend of mine was scandalized. The key questions that they all seem to have in common is, "Have you ever missed work or appointments because of ___?", and "Is ____ effecting your relationships with others?". If you start calling in sick, so that you can stay home to chat on LPSG, um, yeah, you've kinda crossed the line, in my opinion. On the other hand, blowing off work to get laid, um, I don't have such an issue with that. :biggrin1:

Curious a person with 1,400 posts since July would regard another person having 1,600 posts since February as something to comment on.

Houston, I have a problem...
Today I spend about three hours searching old threads for information on some subjects. Yesterday, about two hours.


When someone calls or drops by to chat, my eyes glaze over, and I'm thinking to myself... what are they talking about at LPSG?


And now, when something comes up in my life, I'm not on the phone to a friend... I'm pissing and moaning to complete strangers at LPSG!!
Evidence: I've only been a member for a month, but I'm already over 1000 postings!

But I'm worried about this! Will it grow MORE or LESS with time? Do I need to attend 12 step meetings for people recovering from LPSGism?
Or am I doomed?:eek:

EDIT: So I guess my question is, how many hours a day is "normal" to spend at LPSG??!! Rather than worry about defining normal let's just assume that if you are here, you are not normal.
It will var by perosn and their living/work situation.
And: How many hours a day do YOU spend at LPSG?!!?? !!! ??
It varies from as little as 2 hours to as many as 12 hours. In my defense I feel the need to add that I am not a dirty old woman. I have been unable to work due to Meniere's Disease for over a year. So if I'm not here I'm in the Meniere's support group or another online forum for survivors of feminine cancers. I will admit I spend roughly 2.5 hours every other day on ebay. :redface:

I'm addicted as well, but I don't want to say how many hours a day I spend on here. Way too many. :smile: That's from not having SHIT to do! I check it every morning when I wake up, then I take my son to school and come back to LPSG for another while... anywhere from 20 mins to 3 hours depending on my schedule that day. Then I go to school, pick my son up from school, come home, and then I'm on and off all evening. BUT... I am accomplishing other things while I'm here. I'll be on here while doing homework, watching television, whatever.
