Are you addicted to DakkaDakka?  I think I am, because I have to go to this site at least once a day, I can't even last a week without going to DakkaDakka. My DakkaDakka addiction is so bad that it's
affecting my study habits, sleeping patterns, job searching and school grades. Fortunately it hasn't had much affect on my social life or the odd-jobs I have done.

Ill say yes easily, I didnt even have to think about it. I come here usually twice or more a day to just scan through things. I can vacation without it easy enough, and there are days I dont show up, but in the grand scheme of things, yea I have a cot set up right over there

Yeah. I spend most of my free time on Dakka. I'm sure when School starts that'll change though.

I spend a lot of time at the computer, writing papers and researching things and whatnot.
This gives me the opportunity to check Dakka far more often than I should.

But could you go away from it, for say a week without much problem? If not, I would say you're addicted.

Tips for dealing with Internet addiction:
Ask yourself, “What am I missing out on when I spend so much time on the “Net?” Write these activities down and decrease your Internet time to do some of these activities.
Set reasonable Internet use goals and stick to them. Take frequent breaks, at least 5 minutes each hour, and do some other activity.
Alter your routine to break your usage patterns. If you spend evenings on the Internet, start limiting your use to mornings.
Seek out friends and acquaintances who “couldn’t care less” about the Internet. Take time to appreciate the fact that all life is not yet online.
Stay connected to the offline world. Visit newsstands, book and music stores, and participate in entertainment such as museums, music, and live theater. Novels and poetry readings are hard to experience online.
Treat the Internet as a tool. Stay focused on the fact that the Internet is a means to an end. Plan your strategy—whether you’re looking for information or entertainment—with the end in mind and you’ll save valuable time.
