I live in the U.S. near Washington, DC, and I totally use it like a drug to zone out after work for hours and hours. I realized that when thinking about eliminating something from your life gives you anxiety, as it did for me, it's time to cut the cord! Anyway, enlightening blog. Keep it up!Plangalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06133371592515871085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9494211.post-1106916394762068882005-01-28T12:46:00.000Z2005-01-28T12:46:00.000Zhey,what has happened to your blog,hope youre not watching TV again!!!<br />I am now about 6 weeks into the same experiment of a TV-free existence.At first it was difficult at work having conversations with people,as all they talked about was the previous nights TV....now I realise just how sad they are.<br />In the last 6 weeks,instead of wasting time watching TV,I have read over 10 books,done an hour of yoga practice daily,gone swimming daily,started some weight training,taken up cycling,joined a woodwork class,gone out socialising more,and I am now looking to join a Tae Kwan Doe class.<br />Certainly more of a life than watching TV!!!<br />What have you found that has enriched your life in the time that used to be 'TV time'??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9494211.post-1106796182410268012005-01-27T03:23:00.000Z2005-01-27T03:23:00.000ZI am so proud of your commitment to escape from the "boob tube!"<br /><br />You are an inspiration to many including myself, who is beginning to ween off from the visual stimuli i've become accustomed to having to occupy my available time...<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9494211.post-1106608053659206182005-01-24T23:07:00.000Z2005-01-24T23:07:00.000ZMy name is Tony, from Dallas, Texas, and I have read your blog thus far, and it was fascinating. I also have given up the TV all together, since 1/3, and it has been rewarding. Like your girlfriend, my wife watches, but slowly she is coming around to my way of thinking. She dropped into bed last night after watching two hours in a row, and said, "Why can't I just turn it off." I would suggest that if you are truly earnest in your desire to get rid of the tv, that you stop watching with your girlfriend. No big deal or lecture is necessary. Just say that you are glad to see her, but you don't want to watch. Go for a walk together or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9494211.post-1106600436563105602005-01-24T21:00:00.000Z2005-01-24T21:00:00.000ZHi Alan, I couldn't find your email on this site. My name is Ron Kaufman and I run TurnOffYourTV.com. I'm interested in knowing how your non-TV life is going? Do you find it difficult replacing TV time with other activities? Thanks.
