I am sorry for what you have been through (((((((((( Judy ))))))))))

I can understand how an internet addiction in gambling online would be bad, but personally I cannot see how internet support can be a bad thing unless you are constantly given wrong information.

To me, support on the internet is REAL and I don't view it as a second life, it is a very important part of my life and this is reality. I meet with real people online who have got to know me, and I get to know and meet lots of people just like me. Also knowing that I too can make a real difference in someone elses life.

An obsession in 'support' really isn't a bad thing.
