~There's hope!
I was in the same position you are in now. Then I went to YahooAnswers rehab for 28 days. The withdraws were horrible. I was constantly edgy, my fingers twitched every time I saw a keyboard, my nose started running, my eyes kept tearing up, my joints ached constantly, I was nauseous, and I kept reeling from hot sweats to cold chills. I thought it would never end.
But after a while, the symptoms lessened and I suddenly noticed that my butt had flattened and gotten wider from so many hours sitting at the keyboard. My fingertips had callouses on them. It took me almost several hours to get out of my chair and actually stand up straight. My complexion was pasty and gray from the lack of sunlight. My eyes had lost their shine and sparkle and were nothing more than dull pools of blankness. I couldn't remember the last time I had gone outside in fresh air. Oh, I was horrified that I had let myself get to this point!
Thank god for rehab. Now, I'm back to my old self again. I'm already at Step 5 of the YahooAnswers 12 Step Program and I think I can make it all the way this time.
I'm not actually back to doing YahooAnswers now. Not really. I'm just chipping. Just a little taste won't hurt. It's just to get me through this rough period. I'm not really hooked anymore. Not really. I just...oh jeez.
I'm so ashamed. I feel so guilty. Oh man, I blew it again. Oh screw it...I'm gonna go answer more questions.

It can be fun, if the questions are interesting.
In 3 weeks I will be off for a long time,going back to the USA to work for the next 6 months will have no more time for answers.It has been fun and I hope to come back next spring.
I am just to busy when I work to even turn on the computer for even personal e-mails.

I'm not only addicted, but I find myself getting SO annoyed at some of the really dumb ones that I'm blasting stupid people who can't help themselves. (the woman who couldn't decide what type of drink to give the plumber since he didn't drink coffee or tea, really blew me away).
So when you find out, Please, please let me know. I turn off the computer, read a while and wonder who's posted something really dumb; so I have to check.
The nice people are irritating me the most, because they are TOO nice! No one is that nice, that they worry they didn't give money to everyone they saw on that street that day, etc. Woe is me, and woe is you; all we can do is pray for a power outage, I suppose, but then I drive a few miles to a cyber cafe. Alas, we are doomed.

I am also addicted.
It isn't a bad thing if you give good answers and help people, but you have to do all things in moderation.
I answer for 30 minutes a day.
Then my wife puts dinner on the table.
You might need a spouse to curb your addiction.

I dunno. I am only on here about 7 hours a day......just while at work though!! When I get home I dont even touch the computer!! It is really just something for me to do at work so I half way look busy!! Try researching something that you have always wondered about!! Play games, read articles......I guess anything really, that doesnt involve questions and answers!!

Unplug the computer and put it in storage for a while. Out of sight, out of mind.
