Compared to all these "other" addictions like alcohol, smoking, pills, over-eating, etc it seems pretty harmless. Just a big waste of hours at times, but thats all.

................. I would not be the person i am today without the internet, the internet makes my life better
Haha yes, I love the internet also and definitely feel it enriches my life.

But I think when people talk about internet addiction they're talking about certain very habit-forming things that interfere with having real relationships. Things like excessive internet porn or excessive gaming.

There is actually inpatient internet rehab near where I live (!!). They take away all your tech and make people start at ground zero in learning how to make friends.

An addiction is something that takes away from my life. It diminishes me.

I'm stuck at home a lot for physical reasons.
The internet, and SR, has improved my quality of life enormously.

It adds to my life, not detracts from it
