The 12-Step Program for Web Addicts
I’m sure many of us can relate to this (Can’t remember where I saw this, so I can’t give credit.)
The 12-Step Program for Web Addicts
1) I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper, like I used to do before the Web.
2) I will eat with a knife and fork, not with one hand typing.
3) I will get dressed before noon.
4) I will make an attempt to clean the house and wash clothes.
5) I will write letters to those unfortunate few friends who are Web-deprived.
6) I will call someone on the phone whom I cannot contact via the Web.
7) I will read a book… if I still remember how.
I will listen to those around me, and stop telling them to pipe down so I can hear the music on the Web.
9) I will not use TV commercials to check for email.
10) I will get out of the house at least once a week, whether it is necessary or not.
11) I will balance my checkbook, because the bank does not accept my “I was too busy on the Web” excuse.
12) Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime… the Web will always be there tomorrow!
