- People watch TV and consider it boring...does that mean that they are
- addicted to TV? Probably not. I still use IRC on occassion, mainly
- to keep in touch with old IRC friends. I do not consider myself an
- addict any longer. I used to stay up for hours and hours on IRC, even
- when there was nobody that I knew that was on. I don't do that anymore.
- Does recovery have to mean never using IRC again? (Please don't start
- comparing IRC addiction to alcoholism or something, cause I don't think
- they are the same at all.)
