12 STEP PROGRAM OF RECOVERY FOR WEB ADDICTS1) 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 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!
