Comments on: Fighting Music Addiction: An Experiment http://www.xamuel.com/music-addiction/ Articles by Sam Alexander Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:08:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Glowing Face Man http://www.xamuel.com/music-addiction/#comment-1281 Glowing Face Man Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:03:21 +0000 http://www.romaji-dictionary.com/blog/?p=127#comment-1281 Yeah, there isn't a lot of info out there on this subject. It's worth trying to do a 2-week or 30-day challenge, that might help you out, and even if not, that's 2-4 weeks without the distractions. Yeah, there isn’t a lot of info out there on this subject.

I have come to believe music addiction is a real problem for me and there is just no information out there. But here you are. I am going to thoroughly read everything you have written and maybe it will help me. I have tried (for years now) to eliminate music from my life with some success, but it has always crept it again due to the internet and it being on Directv. I am ready to suspend my account at this point. Okay, thanks for talking about this. I'll get back to you. That one post you had mentioned from 2005 was the only one I found too. Hi,

I found a post on Student Doctor Network and I'm kind of wondering if this might be the same person. In any case, I'm not too sure how many people have this problem, but I'm afraid the the majority of people don't understand this is really a serious problem for a very small percentage of people in the world. I am one of them... And it's more than just an addiction but it's an obsession that tends to not only take over you mentally but it consumes your time without notice. I know I as well as anyone else that can admit this addiction probably sound crazy talking about this but point blank I NEED help. The even worse part is that I have the broadest horizon on music outlooks that allows me to dabble in almost EVERY music genre. I have yet to find a genre I could not accept. I'm the type of person that can marinate in the heaviest of death metal and turn around and pump some blazing techno, and then bob my head to some kind of Cholo rap or Korean pop after all of that. Yea, I commit sins like that. But I can't stop and it's for hours on end. I start having with drawls when I can't hear certain songs and tunes after so long. I think I've said enough for anyone to think I'm completely insane but I had to say something, especially knowing I'm not the only one in this situation. If anyone has some advice it would be awesome for someone to reach out to the rest of us in the world suffering from this issue...
