Well, I doubt they'd make this sort of stuff up.

If you were his wife, and you saw he wasnt eating your meals, and on the computer all the time [to the point of insomnia] wouldn't you seek professional help?

Well I'm not exactly addicted to the forums...
I'm only massively obsessed with gaining knowledge about programming..

Since I started DBP I've promised myself I'd learn at least one thing about programming every day..

Let's just say I haven't missed a day.. But I still have a long way to go...

Peace
