Time is the medicine..

(Oh, and, congrats on the move to London, too. I have a feeling England will be a great fit for you!) There are surely ups-and-downs to a second life, as there are in a first... as we have a tendency, many of us, to invest our real selves in it. Real people=real emotions, no matter which world you inhabit. Though now, I have found it's a good thing to take decent-sized breaks from VR to get mentally revitalized and refreshed. Also "breaks" allow me the time to catch up on SL blog reading ...;=) I can't imagine living without a second life now. It has enhanced my first life more than I ever imagined it would.

I can’t imagine living without a second life now. It has enhanced my first life more than I ever imagined it would.

Since there are 168 hours in a week that is less than 1/3 of the time. Therefore it should be blatantly obvious that I definitely don't have a "problem." Also I can stop at any time. Really, I can. Go ahead. Make me. I DARE you. ;-D (PS: Even after all these hours [what? around 5,000?] I still am fascinated by it, still continue to find interesting things to do, places to go, and people to meet. Except for trying to organize the Inventory, it's never boring -- and even that can sometimes be interesting, like shopping all over again!] I have only spent 40-50 hours a week in Second Life every single week since December 2006.

If you have an SLaddiction, the last thing you should be reading is SL oriented blogs. (Although it might help for the first withdrawal symptoms.) It's great for the pizza part though! :d OMG, Miss or Mr. Two Worlds, don’t take this to serious, please. If you have an SLaddiction, the last thing you should be reading is SL oriented blogs.

Yes, it happens, and no, it doesn't need retarded cat pictures to go along with it. Yes, the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have a problem, and yes, the first step is often the hardest one.
