:p I would say I am kind of addicted to the net, or at least I used to be. But, I mainly use it to know whats going on in the news.
But, I am not addicted to the extreme that they suggest (i.e. death by exhaustion due to gaming or even surfing addiction).
If I don't check my email for a few weeks, I really don't give a crap anymore. I used to but then something clicked mentally one day and now I can't spend more then 2 hours in front of a PC without a break. I think it was because I used to spend hours on end playing video games and now its mentally 'worn-out' of me.
Another reason might be because I spend about 6-7 hours in front of a computer doing phone verifications for people as my job :(.
Oh well, only a few months of that job (which I started two weeks ago) and I will be into real estate! :)
Peace

i think that all people have addictive natures to an extent ( some more than others ) but like most things we enjoy it takes us away from the mundanes of life for a while and the addiction starts when their life online becomes even more excitin than real life. but the bit i dont get is... if these people are addicted to the net then how does that constitute a rise in crime ?? are they robbin stores with their pc or somethin that we havent heard of yet n i dont mean hackin. anyway i used to spend allday everyday on the net for the first year or two ( fell asleep in front of the pc a few times ) but now im not bothered when i get on, i see it more as a tool than a lifestyle or maybe i just grew up lol.

There is no complete medical recovery from methamphetamine addiction, some behavioral and mental remedy is necessary with the therapeutic treatment to get rid of this abuse. The specialist is mainly concerned about to change the behavior and thinking of abusers positively. All these kind of treatments is available in rehab centers, residential schools, ranches and Christian boarding schools etc.
