Support group for our addiction, anyone?

[Megibo]

Me too, I should have done some housework tonight. Instead I have 3 forums and a couple of facebook games open. I will be going to bed seeing exploding jewels tonight.

I love bejewelled...playing it now..I always have that in one window and HHO in another
but since scoring 599,000 on bejewelled i can't stop playing it

Welcome, Kat, you're among friends here.

Or at least, you are in a virtual sense, cos like the rest of us you've probably lost your real friends through spending too much time online...

indeed! Not seen my *real* friends for weeks, talk to the HHO ones everyday!

And the husband is getting used to me starting conversations with "somone on HHO said....."

My non horsey friends call it 'Horsebook' because I told them it was like Facebook but for horsey people. 'So my conversations start: someone on Horsebook said...'

You still have friends? You can't have been here long...

I like "Horsebook". Might steal that.

How sad is this - I have a mirror on my computer desk so that I can be on HH and at the same time keep an eye on the programme on TV I wanted to watch!

Only a woman could multi task like that Evelyn! (All said tongue in cheek before all the male HHO'ers are up in arms)!!!

Omg I'm so addicted it's so bad!!! I think it's getting worse!!
Actually I really think I have a problem, it's become worse since getting an iPhone as I literally flick on to here ALL the time!! If i'm waiting for the kettle to boil, bath to run, I lay in bed flicking through posts before I turn the light out. Seriously it's bad.
I don't know how to stop though aggghhhhhh! Sometimes I feel like it's stopping me live my life, the only time I don't get itchy fingers to look on HHO is when I'm with my horse or up the yard! How typical is that

If I knew how to stop I would. I've made wonderful friends on here and picked up lots of tips and competing inspiration but I think it would be healthier if I logged on for a couple hours a week, not a couple hours (at least) a day!!

I have an awful feeling if I want to stop though I may have to be like an alcoholic and give up completely forever, the very idea strikes cold into my heart but I do think I need to concentrate on my life and my horse and my OH and not what other people are doing with their horses all the time. HHO can be so useful though agghhhhhhhh!

I've just realised I've whiled away another evening on New Lounge. I only joined in August... how did I become addicted? I had things to do this evening.

Maybe I'll form a support group to help me and others break away from our screens and have lives again. We could support each other via a forum online. No, hang on.....

Aggghhhhh

I'm very much addicted too. Oooops

Hello, my name is Emily and I am a HHO and computer game addict

Well just dont try the Mahjong then, that even more adictive than the jewels. I really need to get a life.

On a postive note I dont play Farmville any more

That's like alcoholics comparing their biggest binges!

I'm glad I don't do online games. You lot are just sad.

*takes high moral ground*

I do online games:
Fairy Godmother Tycoon
Chocolatier
Farm Frenzy
I love these games, I have just bought John Deere American Farmer for the PC, it is my latest addiction, on a positive note my farmer OH is interested in it (the JD connection) but on a negative note I can't have that and HHO going at the same time I am also addicted to my Kindle.

I'm sorry to tell you that it may be too late for you, Queenbee.

OMG Firewell, you have just described me exactly. I waste hours a day flicking round HHO on my IPhone. It's so easy... It's right there by my hand calling to me... Pick me up, pick me up!!!
