Addiction

A teenager is being treated for text messaging and e-mail addiction in what is believed to be the first case in Scotland. In the space of a year, the 19 year old spent £4,500 on text messaging. He was sending about 700 texts a week and he resigned from his job after bosses found out he had sent 8,000 e-mails in one month

WTF? Now, I send a lot of texts but I'm on a system where all my UK texts are free. Only over-seas costs me money. If this guy was so addicted then why didnt he get a package on a pay-as-you-go mobile? It would have at least saved him some money. The majority of his texts and e-mails where to his girlfriend. Now, if they ever spent time together, then why did he have to send so much? If they spent time together after work hours and stuff, then that must mean that all thoughs emails and texts were sent during the day...HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Anyone reading this...ever been addicted to sending texts or e-mails and if so, how did you kick your habit?
