Help! I'm addicted!?

Hello fellow answerers,

I originally logged onto Yahoo Answers! because I had a question about my upcoming wedding. As days went on, I noticed the points associated to the account. Since my initial question, I find myself monitoring the Wedding section throughout the entire workday looking for new questions! It's the same mentality as those people that play online games (like World of Warcraft). I answer questions to get more points so that I can make it to the next level so that I can ask more questions! I enjoy reading and answering because it gives me different points of view regarding my own wedding. But I wonder where the limit is. I've hit my answer per day limit a few times already! Where does it stop? Am I addicted?

    Your answering limit will increase as you move up the levels.

    I find this site interesting, amusing and informative, with the ocasional chuckle of stupid questions with equally stupid answers.

    I did once care about the points that I got and why not, but I really and honestly do not care about it anymore.

    I like the weddings sections because most of us here are real people and not bored teenagers and unnatended children. Most questions are serious and the answers throurough and informative. I've learned alot since I've been hanging around here.

    I also enjoy the regulars, love to check tehir answers and questions and keep up with their issues.

    I'm not planning my wedding anymore (I guess I have to make a question about that), but I still enjoy hanging around here and help other brides-to-be with what I know or piss people off when needed.

    Good luck

    PS/ Do it at work when bored (which is most of the time)

    I thought I was the only one! I check in here off and on day, all week and sometimes one weekends. I do it the most while at work. Love to read all the questions, even though most are the same questions over and over again. Your not alone. I enjoy every one here because they give there honest opinions!!

    The challenge to reach the next level will slow down and you will stop answering the repeat questions because you feel like a broken record. You will check in and answer question daily most of us here in wedding do! Best wishes in planing your special day!

    interior the comparable context. that is theoretically an undemanding answer, flow and you will by no ability do the drug back. We see the D1 receptor web content recede in a unique context. What meaning is you at the instant are not to any extent further addicted once you reside someplace else. yet once you get the cues like a pal you in general did drugs with or the Bar, or that is 7:30, time to fulfill Jimmy etc, your strategies places out the receptors that make you crave the drug. No cues, no habit. in case you progression you're off the drug consistently (fairly speaking). specifically circumstances rigidity or the drug itself is the cue, wherein case it particularly is a splash harder to get faraway from. dextromethorphan is likewise shown to break tolerance. there became one night in Baltimore while over 18 human beings got here in for heroin overdoes. seems it became shrink with cough pills which had dextromethorphan. So while people who have been used to filling all their (we could say) 20 receptors with 2 grams of heroin, in basic terms had 6 receptors and took 2 grams, so that they had no tolerance and overdosed. This deliver approximately Morph-Dex, a for of morphine for ability opiate addicts to dodge habit.

    It's hard to say. Is this interfering with your life? Are you waiting up with chills, sweats, and shakes because you haven't logged on recently enough? Do you find yourself obsessing over logging on YA while you're doing other things? If so, you may be addicted. I suggest an anonymous program.

    Does it interfere with your normal activities? If not, then you're not addicted, you're just looking for something to pass the time.

    I play World of Warcraft, but I'm not addicted.
