INTERNET ADDICT

# Setting an absolute schedule or time limit for how much time you spend on the 'Net.
# Forcing yourself to stay away from the 'Net for several days at a time.
# Placing self-imposed computer "blocks" on certain types of services.
# Setting an absolute policy for yourself of never signing on to the net at work (unless this is required for your job).
# Establishing meaningful (but not harmful) consequences for yourself for failing to keep your word.
# Applying these self-imposed consequences until you do regain your ability to keep your word consistently.
# Forcing yourself to do other things instead of spending time on the net.
# Resolving to learn how to derive other more healthy sources of pleasure in life to replace or even exceed the pleasure you got from being on the 'Net.
# Asking for help whenever you feel you are not being successful.
# Avoiding people or environments that might encourage you to return to your addictive behavior.
