12 step program of recovery for web addicts  |
|
I have seen a couple of discussions about internet addiction I thought I would pass this on. I received it in an em mail this morning.
1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my PAPER newspaper like
I used to, before the Web.
2) I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.
3) I will get dressed before noon.
4) I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.
5) I will sit down and write a PAPER letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.
6) I will call someone on the phone whom I cannot contact via the Web.
7) I will read a PAPER book.
8) I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear my music on the Web.
9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.
10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.
11) I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Web.
12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime...and the Web will always be there tomorrow!

| 3. Polly1 (6754) | 4 months ago |  Thats too funny, I am not sure if I will be able to complete all 12 steps. Sometimes I think we need a 12 step program for us Mylotters. Hehehehe. That one would be a tough 12 step program to complete. I do remember doing some of those things before getting my computer. hehe

| deebomb (7016) | 4 months ago | I used to do some of them too. The ones that have gone to the wayside is the letter writing. And for some reason I hate to make phone calls. and I have no problem with no 11 but some of the others I do. | |
