My situation
I really need your suggestions, info, links, et cetera to get me break away from this computer addiction please. I have been living with computer since its advent, and I have been too long in this bit and byte world. I have almost no problem with my family and/or social matters (maybe), but certainly, I have problems with myself. I realize that my addiction to computer and internet has seized big values of my life. Please do not assume that I am addicted to the gaming, gambling, chatting, or sexual leisure online. I think I have really got the most of the computing and internet, I got answers for my quests in life: history, languages, hobbies, health, skill improvement, and other eye-openers, but I realized that at the end I just barely do not recognize myself. I knew that before the PC arrival, I was a simple human with a romantic and artistic mind inside, and then later I evolved to such a robot, to be precise: a slave of the technology. The internet had made me more tied to the PC, at first it delivered me the news of the world, marvelous things found there within the clicks and so on, but then made me deep drown into the pond of information.

The cost and the lost
Having knowledge to computer hardware made me always upgrade my gears. It made me spend big cost just to fulfill my lust over those times. My room is full with the old gears, gadgets, and things from online stores. My PCs and notebooks are full with MP3s, PDFs, and many things downloaded both free and paid. I also spent for many external/ portable harddisks for backing up and traveling. I do not mean to showoff, I just tell you how worse it was from time to time during about 20 years. I sometimes think about the lost time for repairing my gears, updating my softwares, browsing; and how many books that I have not read completely.

There was a break
One time, in two straight months last year, I spent my times with my son playing Tamiya, small racing cars in small tracks. It was wonderful that it made me totally forgot my computers. We have had most of the time together for racing, modifying, winding the wires for the tiny motors, etc. My wife was so amazed that the toys have made me away from the PC. It ended because of the coming rainy season that made us packed and boxed back the tracks and cars, and I simply switched back to the old routine.

In search of healing
I remember a precious phrase: Two kinds of those who lost; they are who looks for wealth and for knowledge. This phrase sometimes wakes me up but bad habit is addicting and I found myself always returned into that path. I think it is just similar to drug addiction. As the internet is an endless resource, I search through it for the cure, and I have found some articles about it and tried to implement them, but it always hard for me to liberate myself from my habit. I really hope that finally I find it in this forum, especially from you.

Your helps, Please
I know that some of you are familiar to manage some types of dependence, or maybe you have healed from the same situation. Whether you have some psychological, spiritual expertise, certain medication, or exercises, please share your advice, I need it badly. I do not want to clog the rest of my life in that digital world. There must be somebody else also in pain from the same thing, your kind suggestion will be very valuable and it will save some life. Thank you very much for sparing your time reading this lengthy note. God bless you.

PS:
I post this in Computing & Internet, Health, and Social Science with time interval, hoping to net more inputs.
Please do not waste your time to put any unpleasant or unnecessary words, consider it will not only read by me but also by the other fellow readers. If you are not in the same situation with me, you perhaps still have the advantage of knowing the answers. Thank you, again.

I told a couple of people I was getting sinus surgery done. One girl said aren't you afraid it might make your nose look different. Can this happen? If anyone knows anyone who's had it done or has had it done themselves. Is this at all possible?

It has been this way for a few months now, and I haven't been doing anything differently with my neck (that I can think of). If anyone can tell me anything about this, i.e. how it develops or how it is fixed, I'd appreciate it!

It aches on and off, but I constantly have this almost-numb, sort of tingly sensation. It is right at the bottom of my neck/top of my back.

I have the feeling of my pinky finger and the side of my hand being "asleep." The doctor said it wasn't carpal tunnel because there isn't numbness in your picky with it. I have tried everything to get the feeling to go away. Massage and shaking out my hand but the numbness is still there. Anyone ever had this problem. The doctor suggested that I see a chiropractor because it is a possible nerve problem. It has been this way for 2 days and it is concerning me. I am only 28 so I do not think it is anything heart or stroke releated as my physical 2 weeks ago was fine. Any ideas?

What can I do or put on it.

I tried to heat paper clip (did several times..left a big hole that was darker than rest of nail, but no blood came out.

I then steralized a needle and pushed it in. quite of bit of blood rushed out., but the nail is just as purple, still hurts

1..My question is do you think the blood already dried under the nail and can't get out now as 6 hours past and was the blood the trapped under the oldl blood or new blood from poking into the flesh.

I did still get more blood than I would expect from puncturing the skin (under the nail), but it did not spurt up several inches like a book said it might but it did kind of rush out fast,

2. What should I do..try it again later or will tomorrow be too late to get trapped blood out as it will dry??

3Should the nail still be purple if the blood got out or shouldn't it stop hurting.
4.Also are there any alternative things I should put on it & how long till the nail grows out. Any help would be appreciated
