How Can I Break My Computer Addiction?
Question by Kelly: How can I break my computer addiction?
I am on the computer literally all day. I have projects that I work on. Like gimp projects (for example, drawing big pictures or working on my comic book). I am on it from the moment I wake up till the time I go to bed. This is a real issue in my family but I don’t know what to do cuz I use up the time drawing different parts of the picture (for example) or writing the next paragraph, then the next then the next… How can I stop this?

Do some of it in journals then scan it later on.

I wouldn’t say you have “computer addiction” per se. You appear to like doing creative things, which just happen to be on a computer. If you didn’t have a computer, you’d probably still be drawing/panting etc.
If you just want to get away from the computer screen, perhaps you could try drawing sketches from life in pencil on paper. Or use other traditional drawing techniques.
Or find a completely different activity altogether. Go for a walk, bake a cake, go to a gym, take up a sport, go meet a friend for coffee, get a dog. Whatever.
