Other Forms of Addiction

I'm led to believe that I have an addictive personality. Which is why I've stayed far away from addictive substances like drugs or alcohol. Porn I guess I was sorta addicted. But I think I have another addiction that I need to get control of.

TV Series. I have a large data cap and the knowledge to "acquire" tv series from the net. I have an app that I use to regulate my episodes that I've seen. According to it, I've spent 2 months, 26 days, 14 hours and 45 minutes watching tv series. I've binged them before. I've watched them when I should've been doing other things like homework or chores or other shit that needed doing.

I need to control this. And I don't know of a community that can help me with this.
Is there anyone here that has the same type of addiction to tv series that I do? Or know any other online communities that help with this kind of thing?

Feedback is most welcomed.
Thanks for reading

Your english was just fine .

I've been thinking about it actually. I feel that I'm not doing justice to the shows (because they're awesome and a lot of work goes into them) and to myself because I feel guilty after I watch them. I thought about creating a weekly counter. For me to not watch series until the end of the week (sunday). This way, I'll download through the week and with all the time I'll have from not watching I'll actually do the shit I need to do.

I feel I'm a lot more focused to fulfil the promise once I've created a counter. Because I have it visible to everyone here and I have to be honest about it (otherwise what's the point?) and I'd feel ashamed at having to reset it.

What do you think?

 

Hi Kennen

Good to hear from you. I've tried those episode reward system tactics before. I end up either watching while I was eating or saying to myself: "I'll watch this episode now and do the work after. It's one episode, there's plenty of time after right?" Aaaaaand it's the end of the day and I'm tired from sitting on my ass the whole day.

But thanks for a healthy suggestion.

Created the Counter. Now all of you are watching me.

 

I'll enjoy watching guilt-free. I set Sunday as my series day. Lets see me keep to that.

I should be too busy already. I'm glad you can identify with it.

 

Oooookay, Today is saturday and I'm alone at home. I've got things to do and I have series that I haven't watched. Sooo, today is about me not watching anything!

Glad I have the support from all of you.
Let's see how I do
