Answer 1

Possibly not there is more to life than a computer - apparantly!!

Answer 2

If you dont gamble, then i suppose its ok. Im always on my computer too, so sure its ok. =]

Answer 3

I'm a self professed poker addict and I do love to play.  However, we all need balance in our lives so as much as I want to play poker all of the time, I do think we need to do other things as well...otherwise it could be unhealthy if you never left the house and just played 24/7.

Answer 4

Well one....do you play for play money or do you play for real money?  In my opinion..either way it depends how many hours a day that you find yourself playing.......are you playing so much that you are not upholding your own responsibilities and obligations ? If so...then it's not healthy. Do  you find yourself gaining weight? Are you not active enough? Are you sacrificing time spent with loved ones, family, etc? To me, though it seems like you really enjoy the game, do you have an internal desire to get better?  If so.....study the game like I did, if you haven't already.  That burning desire and love for the game is a requirement to be great player.
