I was a Dooyoo addict.
I had a week holiday, miles away (if possible) from a computer, the best time to reflect about my addiction..
I was not sure how I would feel without, could I cope? would I dream about?
I actually sneaked once during a trip back to civilization, because a could not pass a computer without having a look.
But back home again, back to normal life, did it help in any way? Or I would go back to my old ways?
Getting up that bit earlier to check what had happened during the night. And my ops? Someone reading them? Any new comments? Very important, indeed, even if this meant skipping breakfast.
At work, it was another matter. Internet access is very restricted (maybe not such a bad thing!) and I would always try to avoid spending my lunch break on the computer (the risk of not getting back).
Till now everything seems quite normal even if I cannot wait to get home. I arrive: should I cook a proper dinner or prepare something very quick to have time for Dooyoo? (emergency dinners section …). My friends call to go out. An opportunity to find about other subjects to write about? Or simply time stolen from my Dooyoo?
My boyfriend wants attention. I am hiding Dooyoo from him until the point I change screens whenever he looks at. But he is already suspecting something and getting jealous. He knows he has got a rival and is trying to find out what is happening. I do not want to tell him, I have not told anyone yet. I am not the kind of user that is spreading Dooyoo, rather taking it as a shameful secret.
The house is not clean anymore. Why bother? Domestos ops are not that interesting. Dishes are piling high in the sink, waiting for a free moment. Clothes get washed when there is nothing left and never hanged back.
Stop! Stop! My life is ruined. My boyfriend has left, my friends never call and I do not really care.
It did not get that bad actually but th
at is the way it could have been if I had not stopped.
My holidays were the moment to sit back and put everything into perspective. And I could live without Dooyoo, it was not that bad.
I took my decision and followed it. It was difficult at the start, with every computer calling me. But now I can be on the net without logging on to Dooyoo first, even spend hours without having more than a look.
I still check it almost every day but without having to read every new op and comment that have been written.
Any time I feel I am coming back to my old habits, I close my eyes and repeat something that I read in another op in this section: Dooyoo is only a website, Dooyoo is only a website.
Life is better now. And I got plenty of experiences and subjects to write about..
