Myswag addiction
« on: February 15, 2012, 06:26:04 PM »
Just wondering who else is totally addicted to this site.

Now im not talking about just browsing it once in a while but Whenever im free i have to jump on here and i have been like this for some time now. I usually browse the site during my lunch break at work and when i get home im straight on here and same before and after tea.

What i was wondering though is surely i cant be the only 1 with this condition and is there any simple solution.

You're not Robinson Crusoe by any means.

I am still surprised a divorce lawyer hasn't joined up and started touting for business.

Yep iam hooked on here reading before work at smoko and also at lunch then when I get home iam back on again I knew I got this iPad for a reason I even sit in the car park while SWMBO goes shopping me and the dog are on myswag.

Come to think of it the dog (Billy) this site as much as I do or he just likes to sit on my lap while iam on myswag.

May be I need to see someone about it............Na Iam fine just need to go camping where there is no 3G service then think of all the posts to catch up on when I get home.

Broadly, addiction is defined as the continued use of a mood altering addictive substance or behaviours despite adverse consequences

Addiction can also be viewed as a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it

The term addiction is also sometimes applied to compulsions that are not substance-related, such as compulsive shopping, sex addiction/compulsive sex, overeating, problem gambling, exercise/sport and computer addiction


And a snap shot of the main concerns, a few of us are in deep trouble ;D

Oh Thank Goodness.  I thought I was addicted, but I didn't see my name on either of those lists.  Phew ... it's just a habit ... that was lucky.

Yep, all of the above!!! ;D

A hint folks, do what I did last weekend and get the unbeleiver to come along to one of the myswag trips or local meets.  SHMBO had a great time and wants to know when/where the next one is.

Yes we recently bought a new computer and the first thing I put in the favourites list was Myswag. The wife has given up asking which site I'm on now and that's great because I usually too focused on some topic on here to bother giving her a reply. Hopefully nobody at the sandy creek trip will tell her that though lol.

hahahaha    I can SO relate to everything said so far!!

This is the first and only forum I've ever visited and just love it.

Don't know if to call it an addiction or a habit - who gives a rats - will just keep coming back for more!

Crap!! Is that the time????   Gotta get off this thing!!!
