Cold Turkey Room. FART

[Mark_h]

Not sure quite how this will work but I live in hope.

This forum is taking up too much of my time. I think I'm becoming addicted. 180+ unread emails from the forum suggest I'm into too many threads. I need to bust this habit.

So this thread is for others to join me for support in addressing the addiction. This is the Forum Addiction Recovery Thread or FART.

Like I said, no idea how it will work but I feel if we all FART together we can all come out of this as better people who can do more than post on this bloody forum.

I'll start.

I'm Mark and it's been less than a second since my last post.

I'm Simon and I just checked this forum midway through a dump.

For the record, I disabled email notifications long ago!

I'm Gav and I also suffered for toilet surfing

I'm on a break at the mo tho

im meant to be checking for illegal vehicles but instead im looking at gm. this is serious issue

At least you guys are willing to admit you have an issue and face that fact.

Some others (who will remain nameless) are on here far too much, but, would never be able to admit it to themselves.

I was once like you, I was on here constantly. But, I saw the light, i.e. went out on the bike more! Ha ha

@ Cymraeg_Atodeg - First step to recovery is acknowledgement of the problem. You declare the issue in others but not yourself yet here you are responding promptly to a post that's in a regional section to which you are not even local.

The relaunched GM is massively into riding and we get out a lot yet still find time to waste on here while avoiding doing more worthwhile things like sleeping, eating or talking to the wife.

When you feel ready to accept that you are indeed addicted there will be a welcome here for you .

Yeah, we do get dissed a lot, yet we're out every weekend riding hundreds of miles to the coast. Some are off to bodmin this weekend, some are off to Wales soon, some have dropped their bikes millions of times and keep coming back for more. We are prolific highway harassers!

Oh dear, I checked the forum again.

This thread is to assist in kicking the forum habit and as such posts should be only of that nature. Please use the chat, abuse, new order or pleb threads for non-recovery related discussion. You are undermining the purpose of this thread (unsustainably I should add so -1) which is here to help.

And you've reset my forum clock you bar steward!

Top tip for FARTing.

I've changed my email notification to daily rather than instant. I was developing a pavlovic response to the email ping which had me checking the .org before I even opened my emails. Hopefully it will kick in tonight as currently it's still pinging me each time Fallout falls off the wagon (taking me with him)

Also never ever ever click on Realtime post spy in Quick links as that way lies madness.

Yay!!!

A clean hour of full access and time on my hands but DID NOT check the forum. Even checked work email on return to my desk before checking out the ORG.

I see a distant light at the end of the tunnel!

It can be done my friends, it can be done.

I'm on the road to recovery, one hour at a time.
