Everyone on the boards seem so helpful, here is my problem. I have become completely addicted to these boards. Our first cruise is in July and I am already planning out our next one. My DH thinks I am crazy spending so much time on the computer and my house is falling apart Doing a Disney cruise was his idea in the first place, but now I am the one who has become obsessed. How can I stop?

you can't we're all addicted, my dh is sick of me hogging the net, our phone lines went down the other day and i couldn't get on the boards for 3 hours, nearly had to go to the library and use a public computer, there's no hope for us at all, but hey it's not hurting anyone is it, can you dust while you dis ??

If you find a cure.........keep it to yourself!!!!!

 

[CRB#33]

There is absolutely no cure

The only thing you can do is



Have a blast! It gets worse as the cruise gets closer!!!!

I'm a total addict, too. I tried limiting myself to two hours on the weekend, but the boards have creeped into my weekdays. Now, it's a daily thing...I love the boards because they keep my last cruise fresh in my mind and keep me excited for my upcoming cruise. And, as soon as I think I know everything there is to know about Disney cruising...I learn something new!

Please tell me it does not get worse. I have never been an internet person until I found this website.

I always thought that people who do chat rooms and stuff like this were silly. Well, now I understand. I don't think I could stop if I tried! It only seems to be getting worse. I used to only log in once aday, now its atleast 3 times unless I'm real busy. Hey atleast it's the only internet board I surf, I don't cheat on the DIS. LOL When my DH comes back from Korea I'm sure I'll go back to once every day or two as I'll be busier and have more of a life, which I do not have right now. I live in a new town, I don't work and my DD leaves me everyday to go to school. Ughh I'm gonna stop now I'm depressing myself.

Let me tell you, I was an occasional DIS'er. Then We bought DVC, then started to get interested in cruising.

Well now I'm on all the time, and you strike up friendships as we did on our last cruise, watch out. It seems it is contagious because many of the DIS'ers from our last cruise have rebooked together for the same one so we can be together.

I guess you just have to live with it, but as someone else has said, there are worst things that are addictive.

Enjoy with Love.

The only thing worse than a DIS addiction is a DCL addiction! With 37 under our belt and 9 more booked (which will be 10 as soon as they make the big announcement), we are totally and utterly hopeless. And in between cruises, DIS is the only thing that keeps me sane and gives me my fix! My husband is just as bad...we used to fight over the phone line, but now we had a wireless DSL network installed to keep marital peace.
And probably worst of all, I am a mental health professional and only two classes away from my PsyD degree! But thankfully I don't plan to specialize in the treatment of addictions.

OMG!!! I thought I was alone with this addiction. Now I know there are others just as obsessed as myself. I can't seem to gather enough information. It seems as though when I come up with a question about the DCL and get ready to post...so one else has already asked the question shortly before I was able to. It's great...I'm loving it. I'm soooo glad I found this place.

But tell me it isn't so....It gets worse the closer the trip comes...

OMG Veranda Man, you are so sweet to send Mamie hugs.
That was so nice it just proves what we all know.

You are a great guy!!!!!!!!

My family only recognizes the back of my head now...and that's only if it's positioned in front of the computer!

 

[glindamood]

I found this site before our first cruise and "lurk much, post some"
depending on what is happening with my family. This is the BEST site on the web as far as I am concerned - can't find a site with nicer, more helpful, caring people anywhere out there. But, like all things, I will get busy with other things and have less time and don't frequent here and then there are times when I just can't get enough!

 

[EmmasGrammy]

I too am an addict!!! Drives my family NUTS (especially DH!!!).

I have found that I can dust, peel potatoes for supper, balance my checkbook, talk on the phone, paint my nails and go thru my mail while on the DIS!!! (Well not all at the same time... you know what I mean!!). I am the queen of multi-tasking. I NEED my Disney fix, and I NEED to know there are others out there who understand my adddiction. That's why I love all of you guys!!

So glindamood, you are not alone and you are in great company!!!

I have to put a daily limit on my DCL forum reading- usually an hour a day and regardless as to whether I have read all of the posts that were unread to me (does that make sense?), I stop at the hour- some days I don't get to all of the new posts but on slower days I can catch up to all of the them- you're right, you could stay on forever -but other things have gotta be done!
