I am a single man in my mid forties and I am addicted to being online.  I have really been noticing lately that I spend too much time on the Internet.  Addictions to web surfing must be a common illness in this  fast paced world that we live in. My problem extents just beyond visiting web sites, I am addicted to building them too.  Being a single man who is hooked on learning about technology is keeping me glued to my computer. Many men are hooked on Internet porn but that's not the case with me. From the moment I awake until I go back to bed, if possible, I will be on the Internet.

Internet Addictions are consuming my life

I haven't checked Google yet but I am sure that there is a twelve step programs for online junkies. These  Internet addictions are consuming my life. If there is and I don't change my ways I will be there. I will probably be admitted for being addicted to energy drinks too. They help me stay up until all hours of the night, so I can feed my Internet addictions. It's a good thing that I am single, because if I was married,  I am certain the relationship would be shaky due to my online addictive behaviors.

While learning how to build websites I discovered that money really can be made online. When I got a good taste of a $20 commission for just having a banner on my site that someone clicked on, I went bazerk trying to get more traffic and make more money.  This obsession is insane for making dollars per click. The idea that I could stay on the computer and generate income has over taken my social life. Sacrifice now to have abundance later I guess is what someone once said. That's my short goal in life to retire an Internet millionaire.

My fear is that I really will begin to make a lot of money on line and then my addictions will be intensified even more. I am sure that the time I spend online trying to make more money will pay off. But I wonder what I will obsess over if I stop focusing all of my energies towards writing content and posting affiliate links all over the web. I havee literally spent the past year consumed with trying to increase the click that I receive on my various pages that I have scattered all over the web.
Being obsessed with the Internet and making money online is just who I am right now. These  addictions are going to require me to focus on something else eventually. This single forty seven year old man is at least in the awareness stage of knowing that my energy expended towards surfing is consuming my life.
