After the integration of a computer dependent military, I know others may be suffering this same addiction (I had my first computer back in 2000 and learned how to use It in 2003).
I check my email 1st thing in the morning and no less than every 3 hours afterwards (even on weekends), I have several email accounts so I would check my military, civilian, small business and personal email account (in that order).
For every email I send, I read twice before I send and once after I send it, then anxiously refreshing the page every hour to see if I got a response…
It is an incapacitating addiction since I know that it takes much of my time and I could be doing other productive stuff…
Has anyone suffered from a similar work related compulsive disorder (OCD)?
Let me know about it and best of all, let me know how you broke the addiction.

It is
funny that you talk about "Staring a computer screen for 8 hours a
day".
Back in 1998 most people did not even have a cellphone in the
Military, most forms were done by hand and we still used type writers.
It seems like it was just the other day.
Back then we somehow manage to get stuff done.
Soldiers were much easier to find than now... I
have situations where you spend hours finding a Soldiers by email,
cellphone, FB, Twitter, etc. and still can’t find them...
Before you will just find
them in there room at the barracks...
