    The Internet is addictive. When I first got my computer I was on it 75% of my time. Then I discover Yahoo and chat rooms and my time increased to the point that I only slept when I was so exhausted I could no longer stay awake. AND, even then I dreamed about it. I'm no longer like that. I spend maybe 4 hours a day on it now and I never go to chat rooms anymore. That was a bad addiction to break, almost as hard as quiting smoking was for me.
