"12 Step Program Of Recovery For Web Addicts"
1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and
read my 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 letter to those unfortunate
few friends and family that are Web-deprived.
6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot
contact via the Web.
7) I will read a book...if I still remember how.
8) I will listen to those around me and their needs
and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can
hear the 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!
