Default I'm Addicted to SDN


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Everyday I'm tempted to go on this site. I try to refrain myself from doing so but I always find myself reading hours and hours worth of threads (well maybe not hours).

Are you guys in the same boat? How can I get over this addiction? I've tried to avoid going on SDN but I'm always so bored and curious on what's happening. But I do think that it (SDN Pharmacy Forum) has been really slow these days--maybe the holidays-- that I'm not tempted to go on it...but i still click on the link..

Yeah, I find myself coming back frequently also. I really like reading the pre-allo forum though because there are so many funny threads that have some very faint, tangible relevance to medicine.

Try reading a book or watch the history channel! The latter works great for me!

I used to be like that when I first discovered SDN. Now I have found other forums that I am addicted to.
