I am sure there are many new members here that do not know who I am, but perhaps some of the older members remember me.
At one time I was one of the more active members on this chat room, until I realized that I was suffering from addiction to social media. The symptoms were ignored for a long time, but they began to manifest in both my personal and professional (this was before I stopped working) life. My marriage was suffering as was the relationship with my children. Sometimes I felt as though they didn't like spending time with me. But now I know why. It was not me that they couldn't stand, it was The Addiction.
Thankfully I was able to find a help-group that not only identified the problem, but helped me work through it. For that I am eternally grateful.
I know that a lot of good can come from social media but it can also be dangerous to ones mental and physical health.
I cannot help but recognize that a lot of my old cyber-friends may be suffering from this same disease so I felt obligated to return and post this. But please understand that I am not judging. This is only a cautionary tale. Not judgement.
I have come a long ways and the journey continues, so I must post in limited numbers. I will also respond to the old PM's. But please be patient as my therapist advises caution when doing so.
My hope is that I can find a happy medium.
God bless,

Lord o Lord I have heard some whoppers in my time but that one is in the top 10. Sheeit, I figured you took a vacation from the fire because your boss caught you jacking off with your diddle phone 1 too many times and threatened "administrative punishment" at you. You better git back to the "promised Land " in Montana before you lose all your marbles.. Welcome back Trav anyway. Magnum Bob

I was hoping you’d reach a point you could dip your toe back in. But was afraid to pressure you buddy. Glad to see you making progress.
I’ve been praying for you, maybe some of them made it up through the cloud cover.
