Oh, I come onto SR every single day...and usually several times a day.


It's okay...I like most of the people here, anyway.

I come here daily, too.

It keeps me grounded. I love the people here.

I would say, yes.... addicted. It just shows what a great place this is with a wealth of information if we keep coming back, eh? (No, I'm not Canadian

I used to spend more time on Facebook. (Too much time.) Now I spread myself out a bit between SR, FB, Skype, etc.

I'm in the early phases of this, too, trying to gather all the info I can. A lot of it is sinking in. I think it's okay if we're on here a lot in the beginning. Just my thoughts. Okay, logging off

I find that when I'm here several times a day I'm usually staying clean and sober. When I disapear, usually I'm not doing so well. So I guess if it's an addiction, at least it's a positive one, for me at least.

Well, for sure it is a habit, and just like anything else, it can create unmanageability in my life if I hide out and stay on here in excess, neglecting my other responsibilities. At this time, I think I spend an appropriate amount of time on here so that it adds to my recovery without creating unmanageability in the rest of my life. It's all about balance!

Love,
KJ

I hope I am. For the short time I've been here, these forums/people have helped me stay focused and constantly remind me of where I came from. I also feel a sense of accountability by coming here. If I quit these forums, I think I would feel a "void" if I didn't have that sense of accountability.

I just went to Trader Joe's and have 6 bags of groceries to put away. But what am I doing? Checking the computer first. Too funny.

lol

I don't think of this as addiction, but as support in recovery, both giving and receiving
