Addicted to Computers?

I am so glad your sister got to go to the Dr. Phil Show. I was sorry to miss it when we cancelled the trip! I have learned a lot about addictions in the last year. As for being addicted to computer time, Dr. Phil was dealing with that. Here are your addiction test questions applied to computers:
1. Is the computer making your home life unhappy for any reason?
2. Does it affect your reputation?
3. Do you feel remorse after a computer session?
4. Does it cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
5. Do you feel you must return as soon as possible?
6. Did you use it beyond your last ounce of energy?
7. Are you eliminating other relationships in favor of computer time?
8. Are you on the computer and avoiding your usual chores and exercise?
9. Does it make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
10. Do you use it long than you planned?
11. Do you use it to escape worry or trouble?
12. Do you commit or consider committing illegal acts on the computer?
13. Does it cause you to have difficulty in sleeping? (Even bad dreams count)
14. Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments within you create an urge to compute?
15. Have you ever considered self-destruction or suicide as a result of computing?
Compulsive computer users answer yes to at least five of these. This is based on Gambler’s Anonymous questions. This isn’t funny stuff to some people, believe me!
I found my two books by Marlo Morgan. Mutant Message from Down Under (1994) was my number one favorite for several years. What a marvellous story unfolding from a surprise place! I was the same age as she at that time I read it. When I had to move on from my last position, I remembered the scene where everything she has gets burned up, and she and the group just turn and walk off into the desert on a trek. How reluctantly we head off into new places, sometimes! How inspiring to know for sure that the Universe is really FOR us!
Hugs, MJR
