Help ! Dealing with my addiction to Project Avalon

[zaina]

It seems to me that coming to this site is an escape from the world or what it has turned in to ,
The people on avalon are lovely caring ,friendly ,etc ,you dont see this in your everyday life, Out there everyone in a hurry and have stopped thinking it seems
I have not been on avalon long but feel the people are part of my family ,
I can relate to most posts of either experiencing it or learning from it ,
SO GLAD I joined ,even though house work has gone out the window lol,

Great Zaina ! This is what I wanted to know... So it's not just me.. Again at Avalon.. we find we are not alone.

As for going outside operator, I completely agree... in fact I started a thread entitled Step Away from the PC only a few months ago.. so it's a reoccuring theme for me. It was the subscription that saved me before that (that is not paying).

The solution is not leaving Avalon... because I think it is important and we are united in so many endeavours... but trying to find a way to dip in and out.

Do I really have to set the kitchen timer ?! lol...

your so funny kulapops! (compliment)

I can certainly think of a LOT worse things to be addicted to!

a good rule of thumb for me is the saying "everything in moderation... including moderation"

besides, your feeding your brain here which is MUCH better that watching TV or surfing the net for porn

PLUS... you make us laff, so I'm always glad to see ya!

cheers!

~ one love ~

but where will I find the time to put my new fembot together ?? lololol

Thanks illuminate... you're so lovely.

Yes.. and loveliness is addictive...maybe addictive is the wrong word...but it's nice to be around one consciousness that is loving. I do soo resonate with that. I want to hug you all...

K

Ok..K.. get the little pinky off the keys.. yes.. c'mon.. now the right hand.. yeesss.. now the left...yes... you can come back later... you're friends will be waiting for you...c'mon now... no... no more 'submit replies' for you.... watch my fingers... how many am I holding up...? No ! Don't look at the screen.. look at me...that's it... No.. not the screen... me... and... click on close...that x in the corner... that's it...Pop ! Bye folks... see you soon... x

[illuminate]

[pineal-pilot-in merkabah]

[Fredkc]

A healthy regimen of distractions is always good for perspective, and so...

Deteriorata

An energetic Screen Cleaner

A nice Cowboy Story

And when all that fails, there is the ever popular...

Bubble Wrap!

And you guys thought I was just another pretty face!

Ha!

Fred

[sammytray]

Ha Ha!!! I know where your comin from. I actually have taken breaks months at a time. It all depends on how much time you have. My advice... Absorb.

btw... Your on my friends list. Your one of the selected few LOL

be careful with the fembot bro, i just got back from doc after she electricuted my genitals.

[futureyes]

hi kulapops ...

sometimes we are like pendulums ... swinging waaaay over to the farthest side and then waaaay back ... but eventually finding a nice balance within center ...

there are days when i can't seem to pry myself from here ... communication is so much deeper and richer than that of the surface fluff elsewhere ... i figure as long as i've showered at least once during that time ... then i'm exactly where i should be ...

but mostly ... i have found my balance ... rotating what needs to be done ... playing within nature ... and participating here ...

you will find that balance too ... once your cup is full and about to overflow ... you'll know it is time for a bit of a break ... could be just a day or more ... and you'll return with perhaps a newfound wisdom and a refreshed outlook ...

love reading your posts ... remember to feed the dog and shower ...

[Kulapops]

I have a dog ??

Oops. I wonder how it's doing...



I wasn't going to post again today. I swore I wasn't going to post again!

Honest...

But Fred, I'm still rolling around after reading your desiderata take...



Don't you just love it when the silly hands of time strike the gloating face of seriousness ?

I'm not leaving Avalon.. btw... I'm just trying to leave... call it a cry for help

lol

K

And Rhythm.. you're on for a guiness... !

[Kulapops]

Thanks Burgundia... It was as much for me as for anyone else... though I'm genuinely intrigued to know how you all cope??

Yes.. I thought I had it cracked... Then the rotters running the world invented Swine Flu.. and that got me back to my Avalon family (cost me $5 by the way.. did I tell anyone?? ) And then the rotters at Avalon went and axed the subscription. It's criminal I tell you...

Now I'm sucked in like an orange into a hoover. Can't...get... my ..head out.

Just think how bad it'd be with my addiction problems if I bought a fembot... I might never leave the house !!

[futureyes]

did someone mention 'guiness' ...

i'll join you guys ... will be a loooong swim for me but hey ... for a guiness and to chat with you ...

i'm on my way ... oh dang ... that means i'll have to leave avalon for a few days ...

[illuminate]

I'll swim with ya futureyes, I've got a float too...
oh the laffs to be had

[lightblue]

hi there, you are not helping yourself by looking for help on avalon..glues you in and that's not what you are after..if that's what you are after...best wishes

[burgundia]

Kula...you were absent for such a long time that now it is your turn to write posts and ours to read them. You still have the energy to do it, you are like young blood here now....Your batteries are charged....mine almost dead...

[Kulapops]

Well , I'm going to see Brian Gerrish in totnes, devon tonight...

And you're all invited !!

I'll be the one in the white jacket - with the arms going around the back



Yes... I watched this site off and on, during the paid subscription...(once a ground crew, always the ground crew I say) but posting is far more addictive than reading. It's a combination of very important issues and it works on many levels I think.

Lightblue is right, a forum is not the place to seek help for getting away from a forum, but I'm not really seeking help... I'm more interested if this affects members like it affects me, because I've not seen anyone else posting about this, and yet ironically it must be a fundamental topic to all at avalon (I'd have thought).

How to juggle saving the world with hoovering and gardening. I suppose I best go watch the Incredibles again for some tips...

best wishes to you all and thanks all for your input in this.
And for making me laugh.

Just remember...if it gets too much... join me here at AA (Avalonians Anonymnous!)

Yo Kulapops,
perhaps you should start watching tv!
But seriously, as long as you find satisfaction in what you're doing, I wouldn't worry that much.

Lol remember that feeling well ,going to bed at 3 4 am then getting up 7 am dealing with kids one hand other tapping away on laptop.


I get out into nature more now,since Nexus sacred site meditaton in July 2009(wiltshire),i have ended up moving there and am now living in a barge on the canal.

So now i have more time to be in tune with nature and myself.

I get online now and then,but when i do i dont feel the need have a peek an update and hello to few friends ,then quite happy to turn off.

So my advice would be get out more into nature and enjoy the wonders abound..

Feels kinda like joining one of those self-help "groups", don't it?

I am happily " addicted " to Avalon since over a year now.
I am here daily since I realized within days of opening the
magic gates that I was reconnecting with my soul family .
The joy and Love that came out of this was so strong that
I had to hold onto the walls for several weeks in an attempt not to take off.

I spend hours here besides my daily work .
The only time I left the forum for a few days was to meet my nexus friends
on real grounds .The love bond we experienced was so deep that we found it hard to part .

I truly love you .. all of you .. there is 'nt one soul here I don't cherish and honor.
You are very special .It seems to me we made that appointment
long ago to meet each other and share our respective paths and the wisdom
we gathered on our way.
From you I learned so much and in so little time .

I feel that as long as the Love grows no time is wasted .
Each love seed planted in anyone's heart is travelling the whole world.
And Love my dear friends is the most sacred key you'll ever hold in your hands.
For with a closen heart is there really any place to go ?

So Kula if it was only for knowledge and chatting do you believe you would be so addicted ?
Or is it maybe something else about Avalon that makes it such a fascinating place ?

Love from me
mudra
