Byron, I know there are many addicts clicking here and there at SI. It is clear that this is a very serious problem, even breaking families apart and causing great sorrow.
However, unclear on the concept or something!!! Sitting around typing against the screen's compelling light and glare is like a festive group of alcoholics all dressed up, going out to their favorite bar to drink pitchers of martinis and solve their compulsion. Not likely!!
If you are an addict, don't discuss it here. Turn the computer off, pick up a book, cuddle your child, take a walk, go to the beach, up to the mountains, anywhere else!!! There is constructive information here, but if it becomes your whole life, it is worth nothing. Go away, come back next month, and moderate your tastes for the electronic life so that all your needs and desires are finally in balance.
Life is very short--enjoy the people who love you.
