Posted: 7/13/05 at 4:40pmOkay, guys. We really need a Broadway World Anonymous. My whole life for the last few days has been devoured by broadway world. I won't leave the house. I just sit here in front of the computer reading broadway world and looking at broadway websites......... What do you all do to drag yourself away....I always feel like I am going to miss something!

You force yourself to go cold turkey for a week...Seriously; a week to prove to yourself that there is still a life beyond here. Do something else you like to do and rediscover why you like it! Then just stop in once in awhile to "play" but not to "live"... It really IS an addiction...
That sort of worked for me...but then I'm here right now...so, I guess it didn't...work...very...well.....

Some of us are VERY glad to have you back, Pip...
Diva, I've found that I restrict my time to BWW to keep me occupied during the drudgery of a day spent temping. I rarely do anything here on my own time...but it's a wonderful place to read up on news, gossip, and chat with friends! So take it for what it is...but, sometimes, just remember to unplug your computer, go outside, and breathe some air!

"There is life outside your apartment..."
Yes, BWW is an addiction. I took a break the beginning of the year, and am now back a little more often than I had intended to be, but I find balance. Or, I try.
I do love it, though!

Escape now. Before the black hole of BWW sucks you in and prevents you from escaping...
Help.

Posted: 7/13/05 at 5:36pmIt is defnitely a addiction. But what the heck. It makes the work day so much more enjoyable. And my life has not stopped or been consumed. As a matter of fact.. I do more outside of work and home now.

Posted: 7/13/05 at 5:41pmFor a while I was in the I have to be on bww all the time.. Then I took some time off, and now really only spend time during the work day here.. you just have to remember there is nothing going on here that you can't go back and read later.. Usually the good stuff gets revisted.. Multiple times..

Posted: 7/13/05 at 5:46pmBut I don't feel like reading five pages of a good topic, so if I miss teh first page, I just don't read any of it.
#13re: BWW Addiction
Posted: 7/13/05 at 6:11pmI think I finally found balance. It totally freaked me out when I changed screen names and got to Legend in 3 weeks. I turn off my computer at home at night so I'm not tempted to check in the am before I get to work. I try to do something outdoors everyday. But I love checking in every day, saying hi to people who have become friends.

I was thoroughly addicted when I was working at a computer lab in the spring and early summer. Now that I have lots of classes to take and to teach I usually only get to check in at night or occassionally during a break at work. I do miss some excitement, but nothing I can't catch up on later. (unless its so good it gets deleted

Posted: 7/13/05 at 8:14pmI may be addicted but I can break free from the computer anytime I want.

Most definitely an addictive site...
I've been posting since 2003. jesus. Talk about needing BWWA...
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.
