Instructions: 1 GET REAL: Some experts say that the internet can become an easy, uncomplicated substitute for socializing with real, live people. Start making it a point to contact a friend or family member every day, whether on the phone or in person at a coffee shop. Make a list of people you enjoy, post it on your refrigerator, and make a checkmark next to the person's name each time you make a real contact. Once you start making connections again, you will feel less urge to feed your internet addiction. 2 FACE PROBLEMS:An internet addiction can be detrimental to your relationships. It can also cause other problems in your life to get worse. When you spend your time and energy on the net instead of in dealing with life, you are like an ostrich with its head in the sand. Many of us who become computer addicted are using the web as a way of avoiding problems. What are you trying to escape? Write it down. Write down one concrete thing you can do to attack your biggest problem each day. 3 SET INTERNET TIME: If you were giving a friend with an internet addiction advice on how much time to be on the internet each day, how much time would you recommend? Decide on a limit for yourself. When your time is up and you start rationalizing that more time is O.K., remind yourself that you get to be on again tomorrow. Turn off the computer. Go outside and take a walk. 4 OUT OF SIGHT: Turn the computer and monitor off completely when your internet time is up. Cover your monitor with a cloth if your computer is not portable. Put your laptop away in its case in a place where you can't see it. 5 HEED THIS CAUTIONARY TALE: Scroll down to "Warnings" to find something shocking about internet addiction.
