TV Addiction
After my realization I did a little bit of research on TV addiction. Even though it is not a diagnosable condition of DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV) it is recognized as a real problem. It is a form of behavioral addiction, in which an individual repeatedly engages in an action until said action causes serious negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social, and/or financial well being.
There have not been any serious negative consequences for me, but I know this cannot continue this way. I have a very active boyfriend, who does a lot of sport. He does not like the fact that I spend so much time watching TV. And he is right: I could be using my time for other things.
While researching I found a couple of interesting articles and sites on TV addiction and how to overcome it.
