I am definitely one that could be a textbook example for internet and computers addiction. And seriously. I don't care about social media, it's about information and the technology accessible via computers. Honestly, for me, no one has ever criticized my drinking because they have not really seen it mostly, but the attachment to computers is something mostly everyone who gets to know me will comment on. Something I should address sometime, but honestly, not ready yet.
For me, SR actually saved me. I used the hell out of it for months, because I had intense alcohol cravings very often (by day and by night, anytime), and when I was on SR it helped me not to act on my cravings.
