Anyone else notice the sheer irony in someone telling people on an online forum that they want to get over an internet addiction? No offense, just making a joke, but just get something interesting in your life, like exploring or going out with friends.
haha that is true. But I guess if your going to spend so much time online you might as well get the help you need.
Jamaicamecrazy you should take a trip with your fiance, no computers, just you and him and realise that you can have fun without the internet! That'll be your first kick and then just start getting involved in other hobbies..

Prescription drugs are now the second most used drug among teens. The first is none other than marijuana. Teens are doing stimulants, barbiturates, and painkillers and they just don’t realize how addictive these pills could be. One 17 year old named Ryan shared his story. He is enrolled in a drug treatment clinic. He said he first tried OxyContin when he was 16 at a party. Kids would crush the pill up and snort it so they get hit with all the opiates at once. He said weed made him feel wierded out but OxyContin just made him feel good, warm and relaxed. And its super easy to get. He says there’s always someone who has it and that he could name 10 at the top of his head who are selling it.
But just a week after he started using OxyContin, he realized that if he didn’t get a pill every day or two he’d start to feel sick. So he kept using it and had how idea how bad he was hooked until he tried to stop. He said, “I was sick as a dog and I was in bed and I couldn’t believe it. I was actually scared. It was like somebody was inside of your head with a hammer, you feel like you’re going to die. Just laying there in the bed, sweat pouring off of you.. Then five minutes later you’re freezing.. Then you’d be throwing up.”
OxyContin is very expensive on the streets, $80 for one pill. Ryan cashed $7000 in savings bonds and sold his leather jacket, playstation, cell phone, everything he had to keep from getting sick. Then he finally broke down and asked his parents for help. But as he looks back on it he says he ddin’t think using OxyContin was dangerous because it was a prescription pill. And many different kids at school were playing around with it, kids from all sorts of groups, the burnouts, athletics kids, geniuses and girls who got soft ball scholarships all used it.
