Internet withdrawl

[Moon Rabbits]

So I went without the internet for 2 days yesterday. I just realized how much I need it in order to make plans for a good weekend, I felt disconnected from the outside world without it :(!

The longest I've gone without it however, was two years, I don't really know how I survived. :\

What's the longest period of time you didn't have access to the internet for?

[Jowy]

I didn't have internet access for about seven months.

Ironically, I can't maintain a stable connection at the moment!

[Cruise Control]

About 3 weeks. I could barely get up in the mornings. I was like physically ill.

[Faris]

I went without for a few days, I think.

[DK]

Uhm, like a year and a half maybe? I can't remember.

[My_car_is_faster_than_you]

5 months. I really didn't need it though and was totally fine without it. That's what motorcycles and cars are for.

[My name is...something..?]

I went without internet access until I was 13.:):(

[Yamaneko]

Since I've been using the Internet regularly (1995/6), the longest I've gone without using it has been when I've gone on vacation somewhere. One month maybe.

[Reine]

About a year, since school banned me from using the internet since I just used the net in computer class rather than work on anything.

These days, the longest was a week, and when I got back, so many people were like "Where were you? I missed you ;_;" It was most amusing..

[Agent Proto]

I've been without the internet for a good... month or so at one point. Well, I kinda cheated since the place had a modem, but I made sure I was only on for an hour at most a day. I've been contemplating whether I should "leave" the internet altogether and see if anyone would miss me. :D

[Shlup]

When we were in Alaska we didn't have internet for the first week, so when we got to a hotel that had free internet we were like "Yays!!" My husband's family was like waiting in a line in our room to check their email. xD

[Leen-Leen]

I didn't really know the Internet existed until I was eight or so. So about eight years without it. But when I did know about it, I went about two months before cracking up.

[Araciel]

i don't know....a month?

[abrojtm]

I probably went without using the internet regularly until I was like 12. So twelve years then.

[escobert]

I just came off not having it a few months. It sucked.

[Christmas]

I dun have internet until I was 17. :(

[XxSephirothxX]

Since I started using the internet regularly about three years ago I haven't been away from it very much. Maybe somewhere between two weeks and a month.

[Dark Wizard]

When I got home a few days ago the internet was out for two hours...those were the worst two of my life...LOLz

[Skarr]

Probably two months. It feels good to take time off from the net. By the time you get back everything feels all new and fresh, especially here on eoff.

[Reles]

Hm I went without one for 6 months, but that was a long time ago. Probably when I went to France, I probably went without one for 11 days, I'm not counting that 5 minutes I took to email everyone that I was still alive. They have some pretty trippy keyboards in France.

[Meat Puppet]

Probably about 3 months. I hate being gone for long periods of time. When I try to return everything is just so cold and alien, and it's really tough to get my groove back.

[Rainecloud]

When I first started posting at EoFF (which, ironically, was the first time I started to use the Internet), I only had access to it via the computers at my local Library. I experienced withdrawl symptoms almost every night.

More recently, I lost my 'Net access for a week when my Family dragged me on holiday with them. I nearly went insane.

[Ashi]

I'm not really sure, could have been a day or so. If I didn't have internet at home, I'd have it at school and so on. I do understand it's difficult to be away, though, especially if you're accustomed to it. Checking email, reading the news, college assignments, games, tv, talking to friends, all of these being done on the internet... it's almost scary. :eek:

Edit: after reading Rainecloud's post, I think the reason I dislike going on vacation is because of the internet. Sure, there's internet access at every hotel... but it still won't be on my home PC. ;'(

[bipper]

This can be cured by crabbing an ethernet cable (cat6 for better speeds) and sticking a needle onto the RJ45 connector. Grab your index and middle finger, and tap the inside of your elbow to creat inflamation of veins. Stick needle into vein, and tape down. You are not an internet addict, and weill enver have to log out.

Oh by the way, you don't know kung fu, ass.

I have never left the net, Al Gore invented me right after he invented the net.

[Shaun]

Bah, emo tears over a few days without the Internet. I've not had Internet in my house for almost two years. I have to use my college's Internet. I've been wanting to move out for a long time though, so if it does ever come to that anytime soon, well...

[XandrewX]

3 months...On national service...

I had this when I was gone for two weeks. It was really awkward. xD

But the longest I've been gone is around a month. :D

QFT x 243622.

Uhm. Six weeks or so, I think. I kicked meself off.

[starseeker]

2 weeks for me. I didn't have any funds for the internet cafe at the hotel (read: I couldn't find it)

[Raistlin]

Completely without internet at all: one month (8 years ago xD).

However, I've gone for months without using the internet for anything but homework (no EoFF/other message boards, no IMing, etc.).

[Yamaneko]

How we all miss those days.

[Quindiana Jones]

I have never had access to the internet. :(

[Dreddz]

About a week or two. It was awful. People who say they can go fine without internet are liers, they just say stuff like that to act cool and show there not a computer geek.
