Please note that I know this group is not for my type of addiction so
I am very sorry if I have offended anyone.

I recently discovered that I am addicted to the Internet and TV. I
really don't have a clue how to overcome it. Two years ago I realized
I was addicted to TV. Right then I throw the TV out, and hoped my
problems would go away. However, I failed to realized that Internet is
just as bad as TV was -- I can download entire seasons of my favorite
episodes and watch them!

There are no support group for TV addiction nor for Internet/Computer.
In fact, here in Toronto, Canada some psychiatrist laughed at me. One
psychiatrist went as far as to tell me that you have be rally stupid
to be addicted to TV & Internet.

I would like to know how I can overcome my addiction.

So far this is what I have thought

In near future I will buy a laptop, so whenever I want to use the
computer I will take it with me to the beach and use it and come
home .

But there lies my problem; what do I do when I am in college (my
college has everything put on the internet!! marks timestables you
know name it)

And what about job -- hell I am studying to become Computer Engineer
-- this means spending more then eight hours on computers! I can not
change my career I am not good in anything expect computer. Argh!!!!

Your advice will be support is appreciated

You're funny. I'm guessing that by discussing this with you I'm enabling
your sick and perverted behavior. <g> There's one possible solution.
Listen to internet radio. ;-) Wean yourself to only listening to
internet radio when you're awake. Never listen alone, only listen during
parties, ad nausium. ;-)

Is it a really good idea for an Internet addict to go on the Internet to
read about Internet addiction?
