I think many of us have had to grapple with the fact that internet use can become addicting, in a very literal sense. "Behavioral addictions" are based on the fact that activities we repeatedly enjoy will trigger the production of dopamine and other brain chemicals associated with pleasure. It really can be a chemical addiction.

You've planted the seeds and that will be forever producing fruits. We all need breaks, sometimes doing nothing is doing something.
God bless you my Grace 👍

@Lostpoet oh you're so sweet, thank you so much for the encouragement. I won't be logging off for my work. I won't be logging off anymore, unless I leave for good. I'm perfectly aware that I come and go quite a bit, but I have a reason for that. If I leave my profile up, then that means people think I'm here and if they think I'm here, then they will think I am being snobby and ignoring them if they write me. 😂😂😂 I don't want them to think I'm ignoring them so I just stop the whole kitten caboodle hahaha I figured that way I can get my work done and nobody's feelings will get hurt, but it's weird because even if I do that and leave my profile up with a little X in the box that shows I'm gone but yet my profile is still available to look at, then I noticed they still write me and think I'm online.😂😂😂, so neither way works for me. Haha They still write me and then they wonder why I don't answer them. What if I was going to month to do things that need taken care of? If I left my profile up they was still write me and wonder why I didn't write them back that always happens. I hate when that happens.😂😂😂🙃 that's the only reason I leave like that and then come back at different times. No other reason.

Maybe it is directed to someone else.
@TheOrionbeltseeker Nooooo. I did mention that today to someone else though, that I need to do that.

I can definitely relate to this.
@bijouxbroussard Thank you! I'm addicted and I'll be the first to admit it! And I don't like it! Yet I know what has to be done and I think it will be a struggle, but nothing that God can't help me with.
