It's so easy, huh? VR is so much nicer. But we just can't live there. For starters, take some walks and breathe the fresh air. Might help you feel more like getting offline, if only a little.

You should join us in the internet addictions forum, I'm sure this will get moved there when a mod finds it.

My "drugs" of choice are Gaia Online and now Second Life. It interferes... but I have suspicions that I'm really only into it so badly when I can't concentrate on coursework regardless, and I'm at my lowest. Which means maybe it doesn't interfere, but it's the mental illness that's interfering. Either way, VR is only a temporary and incomplete relief. We need to find in reality what we're searching for in VR.
