I'm working on it

I have a problem, an addiction if you will. I don't do drugs, I don't smoke and I'm not an alcoholic. So what is my addiction? Television. When I got married and moved out of my parents house my wife and I decided to not get cable or even hook up an antenna to the TV. We just had a DVD player and our movie selection and Redbox rentals. I loved it. I felt more connected to my wife and never stayed home to watch a show when friends called and wanted to do something. The television had been forgotten and left to do it's own thing.



I was happy not having the TV around to fill my nights with entertainment. Then we bought an antenna so Charity (the girl my wife helps take care of) could watch her favorite shows when she hangs out at our house. Then I found my self watching the news and family guy again, then I started watching other shows but only when my wife wasn't home or when we were both really tired from a long day. Yes I watched this kind of stuff,




This last month Chelsea and I bought a Bluray player that has netflix built in. At first I loved it, we would watch a documentary or a move but we have now started watching TV series on it and its starting to effect my life of not sitting on the couch and doing nothing after work. I have over 100 things on there saved in my play list, things I honestly want to watch and that's the problem.
I'm thinking of getting rid of my account and going back to no TV or moving the player to the exercise room and make the rule that netflix can only be watched while on my bike. The only problem is that I feel like an addict if I put a bunch of unenforced rules on something.

Half the time I'm tempted to just throw the TV in the trash and the other half I love watching a good show or movie and relaxing.
