How Do You Cure an Internet Addiction?

Question by Malsa1: How do you cure an internet addiction?
Hi, I’m an internet junkie and definately qualify for the symptons of an addiction. When I’m not on the machine I desperately wait to use it again and when it’s my turn if someone else is still using it I start to feel angry because I can’t use it.

I don’t even like using it, in fact I despise this machine. I waste all my time on it barely doing anything interesting despite chatting when I could so more productively use that time for my new job or my world travelling ambitions. When I finally finish using it I never feel satisfied and want to use it more.

I think it’s linked to how few friends I have in the real world, literally a couple. But on the internet I have a number of people I chat to and I always can talk with them. It’s been like this for I seven years now I think.

When the computer isn’t working I feel a slight freedom and after a few days I miss it less. One week it wasn’t working I achieved so much, including finally learning to ride a bike! But when it was working I became a junkie addict again in about an hour.

When the computer is there, I can rarely resist the temptation. I’m often on it until one or two o’clock in the morning. I tire of it and resent my lack of will power. Can anybody give me any advice or help me out? I can give the best answer ten points of course.

Thanks!
Wow, I’m very impressed by the feedback, a lot of good ideas here! My dad is threatening to cancel the internet subscription in a month’s time, if cutting myself off is the only way to overcome it, then I’ll let him do it.
