I am new here and just dropped in here to say hello to my fellow members. It is very easy to take up any addiction but it is really tough to quit it. I heavy drinker and lost my family and friends. Even my job suffered because of my drinking. But now I am recovering.

They keep jacking it up and up, yet the number of drinking related problems refuses to go down significantly. What is needed is an alcohol license of a sort, and strict laws around it. You get done with DUI or admitted to rehab, you lose it.

I mean... come on, find more ways to stop alcohol abuse.

I think jacking it up again and again is not a solution to the problem. They need to spread awareness among people that drinking leads to problems rather then solving them. Until you have this approach drinking problems are going to increase day by day.

quenlin said: Not likely, gambling and gaming addiction are pretty different, since gambling addiction is when you rely on the europha os the prospect of winning huge amounts of money.

If they're not as fun, then suck it up and go to an arcade and play a few of the games there.

I agree with you that gambling and gaming addiction is different all together but gaming addiction ruins the child life in the sense that he/she do not give attention and time on their studies and consequently they lack behind in their academic life.

I think for the people who are working at home and earning through internet there is no limit for how many hours they use internet in a day. Internet is their daily bread and all those recommendations from experts looks bullshit. I myself work at home so I spend aroung 12-15 hours daily on internet.

I think if you are new to internet than thats a normal process and you should not be worried about it much as long as you are using it as tool to interact with your friends and communicating with people around the world. People you start using internet they tend to use it more and more and times come when they get fed up with it.

I do not agree with you. Even today it is true that internet is way to te future and it more strong at present. Just because of the internet world has shrink to the click of the mouse. You can meet people from different part of the world. There is no limit to internet and it is becoming more vast and diverse day by day.

There is no standard which can judge whether you are internet addict. And I feel there is no internet addiction but pornnography which have made people to use internet for waste. Keeping those people watching porns most of them use internet with some purpose and that purpose may be diferent with different persons.
