I just had 3 weeks of full on 150% twitter addiction, all day, 6-8 hours straight each night. The 2 week ends I was away I was thinking the whole time that I wanted to escape to the toilet to get a tweet in. I probably spent at least 100 quid abroad on phone charges from using twitter. Madness but I decided last Sun it was enough and went cold turkey for 2 days and it worked. When I came back I was way less addicted than before and although I'm still on it all the time it doesn't have the same hold over me.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if this subject came up before but I find people are addicted to one thing or the other, not all or nothing. There's so many things I've been very addicted to but the most obvious, the gargle, I can take or leave like that.Bonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010986736813010003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-23499502955691885592009-02-15T00:20:00.000+00:002009-02-15T00:20:00.000+00:00Right well had a chat with Mrs Shan last night and...Right well had a chat with Mrs Shan last night and have decided the best thing for me to do is exactly what you guys have said, calm the fuck down, at the end of the day its not all about twitter but more the time I spend on the computer in general. So night times will be more about family with me occasionally popping into twitterland.Shanachiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391428971247556299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-27777673465824179712009-02-14T18:25:00.000+00:002009-02-14T18:25:00.000+00:00Listen to me.

I've made some great contacts and new friends on twitter too and for me it's a great way to connect with people at home.

There may be times you slip off the wagon, but thats ok, there will be days when you dont need to Twitter at all. So it will balance out. <BR/><BR/>Just dont leave Twitter completely. I really enjoy your contributions.Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482636998745633770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-15350020703736912372009-02-13T22:24:00.000+00:002009-02-13T22:24:00.000+00:00My friend John,I cannot and will not tell any pers...My friend John,<BR/><BR/>I cannot and will not tell any person what to do.

But - that rule is always ruled out by the if-i-thought-for-one-minute-it-would-upset-herself rule. And with a logic hat on it is that simple. <BR/><BR/>You are a good man. You have an amazing family. You are a good friend and the coffee will always be on for you [the three of ye].
