Help! I'm suffering from an addiction to...

lola622f • 19 January 2012 at 9:08 PM

@cqpkytty I hav e the same problem. And I always 'check/do my homework' right after school (also playing eggcave). XD Now, I try to write books so I keep myself away from eggcave. Maybe you can try to keep your mind out of eggcavecave. It works for me. 😊

Use Eggcave as an incentive (ie, "okay, I finish my math homework at, say 5 and then take a 20 min. break and then it's time to move on to history").
It takes some willpower, but that's what I've learned to do and it works.

Hmmm well last suggestion:

If Eggcave is really becoming a major issue, ask Ian to TEMPORARILY ban your account for like 2 weeks/ a month, and by the time it's up you might actually have better self control because you've started to break the habit. 😊

@lizardfeather
But then,
1) he might forget to un-ban it
2) banning might have to be permanent
3) my creatures could die! EDIT: wait, Tim's xP

@cqpkytty Ouch! My mum thinks i'm addicted... But I only go on after supper. For 2 hours. 😋 And I don't go on EVERY night. Only when I have time 😊

Anyhoo, I have a tiny solution. Tell your mum the truth and ask for help from her. If she doesn't help, then you have to ground yourself from the screen. :s

cqpkytty • 19 January 2012 at 10:38 PM

@skylark
But I don't want her to get mad at me...

skylark • 19 January 2012 at 10:40 PM

@cqpkytty That's what every kid fears most....

Tell her you're really sorry and you want to change your habits, that's why you're telling her the truth..? 😋
"Don't knock it till you try it"

cqpkytty • 19 January 2012 at 10:43 PM

@skylark
I dunno...

skylark • 19 January 2012 at 10:47 PM

@cqpkytty I would expect some punishment, for you have been disobeying her for however long you've been addicted.
Any other options? No, sorry! 😋 I bet you'd save yourself a lot of crap if you told the truth, but who am I to say that? 8'D

cqpkytty • 19 January 2012 at 10:47 PM

@skylark
:/

@cqpkytty
S:

It sucks. I hear ya.

cqpkytty • 19 January 2012 at 10:52 PM

@skylark
You know what would be completely foolproof? (but would kinda suck for everyone but me so let's hope this doesn't happen)
If Egg Cave had some downtime for a few days.

😸 Put a note on the computer saying "If you aka me touch this computer i givr the post hated person i dont like $100l xD

skylark • 19 January 2012 at 10:54 PM

xDDD I like @bunnyshadow's idea 😋

bunnyshadow • 19 January 2012 at 10:55 PM

Ikr? Works on me 😋

cqpkytty • 19 January 2012 at 11:02 PM

@bunnyshadow
...problems.
1) I don't have access to $100 (at least not without stealing)
2) I don't think I would really care
3) Some of my homework actually does need to be done on the computer.

I suffer from Egg Cave Addict Disorder too.

Join the club XDDDDD

My mom keeps me off the computer.

Yep.

cqpkytty • 20 January 2012 at 10:18 PM

I HAVE AN IDEA!!!
You will find it on my status.

akira • 20 January 2012 at 10:19 PM

I'm the EXACT same way XC

Deleted • 20 January 2012 at 10:20 PM

I had the same problem, until I lost every way of getting online on weekdays and some weekends.

Deleted • 20 January 2012 at 10:21 PM

@cqpkytty
Oh, I know the feeling. ☹️ It comes to me at night, so I resolved to do homework first, or most of it, anyway, then Egg Cave, even though it pains me to do so. >.<

cqpkytty • 20 January 2012 at 10:29 PM

@choocalate
I *try* to resolve to do that, but it doesn't really work.

Deleted • 20 January 2012 at 10:36 PM

1)Think about it in this way... if your mom/dad finds out your low grades she may punish u by taking away the computer.. u don't want that do u?

2)Get friends on Eggcave to feed your pets...

3)Reward yourself IF and ONLY IF you complete your work. A lollipop maybe?

4) take small steps making one drastic stop wouldn't b good. Start by limiting on how much u play during The " doing homework online" time and actually do some work.

Hope u find these useful!! 😊

cqpkytty • 20 January 2012 at 10:42 PM

@brendensteel
Actually...
1) My grades are really just being lowered from A's to B's. xP
2) I just use Tim's. I *never* feed my pets LOL
3) But I could just get that lollipop right now...I don't have much self-restraint xP
4) Actually, I came up with a way to help already. Check my status 😸

whitefall • 20 January 2012 at 10:42 PM

I'm become less attached in EggCave~
Just find something fun to do, and don't come in a few days and you'll be fine. Seriously, get a hold of yourself. Don't let EggCave ruin your grades. EggCave can wait. Homework can't.

Deleted • 20 January 2012 at 10:54 PM

I used to be like this.
Like EXACTLY.
Until now :s

I just got bored and exhausted doing this. I am only on for like 1-3 hours in total now😋 I use my time with homework and studying, and playing dance game 😸

karamel • 21 January 2012 at 7:52 AM

@cqpkytty That's the same with me. /facepalm

miomar • 21 January 2012 at 7:54 AM

I have this problem too!

Deleted • 21 January 2012 at 7:59 AM

@cqpkytty

Well, you got a hold of yourself. Maybe.😋 But I used to go downstairs at midnight or so, and play Egg Cave for three hours, and go back to bed. Then I'd play EggCave even more at school (shhh, don't tell anyone) and I'd play when I got home. How's that for horrible?😋

Deleted • 21 January 2012 at 8:59 AM

@cqpkytty - OMG lol you sound JUST like me ❤️
