I have become an addict to the net.First thing I do when I get home is turn on my comp. I rarely read books or do my hobbies anymore, I'd rather check my mails, facebook, youtube etc mostly fooling around doing nothing edifying. Need some help! Any ideas?
find something you like to do, not on the internet. set a timer for an hour or two, then try to limit yourself by 5 minutes less every day.
I'm probably asking the wrong audience (!) but can anyone suggest a good book (please no websites!) to help get over internet addiction? maybe even just a book about getting over soft addictions in general?
I am a stay-at-home mom and my poor children are neglected and ignored while i surf for virtually nothing on the internet. (Don't worry, I do leave the computer to feed, diaper, take to school, etc, they aren't in harm's way). I'm checking email every 2 minutes and trying to come up with things to search for or do. HELP!
The Habit Change Workbook: How to Break Bad Habits and Form Good Ones
by James Claiborn , Cherry Pedrick
is an excellent book, it covers all kinds of habitual behaviour, but the idea for each is the same, and gives you a plan to work to.
Well done for recognising you have a problem and good luck!
what will the state allow me to call myself, such as a specialt, an addiction therapist. addiction expert?i am 12 years in recovery and i am very good at helping others. i plan on getting paid for phone and internet counseling. what titles can iu use.
That's against the law. Get yourself licensed if you plan to charge, otherwise volunteer if you wish to help others.

bBook/b Review on Video Game bAddiction/b « Weissbluth Method
Recently, I have been very interested by these stories originating in China about “Internet Addiction.” From the news items, it appears to be a serious problem there and I was curious to learn more about it. I went online and typed in “internet addiction” and was directed to a book called, “Video Games and Your Kids: How Parents Stay in Control” (Cash and McDaniel). Addiction medicine is a topic that is relatively not emphasized in pediatric training so I decided to pick up the book.
The book’s focus was gaming addiction which was the closest I could find to internet addiction in my search. I assumed that enough gaming took place on computers to be relevant for the topic and also that the mechanism of gaming and internet addiction were similar. The organization of the book starts by defining gaming addiction and its processes. It proceeds to explain addiction as it relates to varying age groups. The language of the book reflects the author’s goals of treating addiction: They use words like “withdrawal” and “intervention”. Instead of describing “adaptability,” they use the phrase “frustration tolerance” (which I liked a lot). The use of addiction terminology helped me appreciate this as a medical phenomenon despite how socially accepted internet and video games are. However, I was more skeptical of the discussions on “love addiction” as it relates to meeting others while playing World of Warcraft
