Yes I am addicted so is my gf, instead of working on our couple problem, what basically has got us trapped in that infernal cycle, we spend so much time online.
She is even partenered with someone else as I was too before I slipped into rl feeling and had to stop seeing her in world.

ITS only a GAME and NOT a way of Living.

WOW… What an eye opener.. Really, friends,
somebody (maybe Chino) should have a non-profit
Blog dedicated to SLA Secondlife Annon.Whew, got
that out. No, really I have sex in world, not
that gratifing, and yes it takes away from RL all
togather. I guess people who live in fantasy never
really get the most of what their life could be.
It is sad to me. I want to change because my life
sucks right now. But, because I can always escape
to SL, where Im O.K., things might get worse for me
in RL.
Quite frankly, Im scared.

[...] to a point that as today marks my first year in-world, it is also a day wherein I can say that my addiction to Second Life is gone. (I still appreciate the money I earn from it though. [...]

I am addicted. I faced the facts on 3/17/08 I was involved with another person in SL and wanted more. That was completely one sided. Once I realized I lost the boundary between SL and RL, I discovered I had a real problem. I was involved in my second SL relationship. This one looked more viable because of our close geographical locations. The person I was involved with was not interested in a relationship in RL. We would email each other daily in RL and then take our relationship to other levels in SL. I am experiencing major withdrawal symptoms and to top it off, I am missing my SL lover…I had property and a house and everything - I abandoned it all and cancelled my account. When I think of going back I get heart palipations and even start hyperventiating a little. The steps to go through downloading and installing the software causes me to pause and think about what I am doing. I hope that these withdrawal symptoms will get less with each passing minute….I am addicted and I have to not go back…it is way to easy to lose sight of reality. I am lonely and thought that I could fill that loneliness through SL, how wrong - discovered that the computer monitor cannot give me that human touch that I so desire…an addiction is so difficult to overcome…

SL is really addictive. But we all know that too much of something will always be bad.
