I don't drink often, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs..this is my addiction.
From my vice I have met and married a wonderful man, started a business, found work with a great company, met a lot of good people and broadened my horizons and knowledge base.

I've been online since the old BBS days. We had our own little community. IN fact that's how you networked with other scene/kinky people. We use to have GT's (get togethers) often.
You could wake up at 3AM unable to sleep and always find a friendly person to listen to you bitch or cry. For some, your online family knew more about you then your real family. Many romances were discovered online & many hearts broken resulting in great online fueds.
Being online allows you to project an aspect of your personality or to reinvent yourself. The downside is that it's also difficult to learn who is real & who is sincere. There's a level of emotional safety online. I often wonder if internet addicts or us hardcore geeks share a common thread of insecurity or some other character flaw.
I've met a lot of wonderful people online, however my relationships have been nurtured face to face.
