How to detect and cure Internet addiction

I think this disease is quite common wherever there is an available Network. Therefore, you should not treat the problem too superficially. But first you should analyze your behavior and understand if there is anything to treat? To begin with , let 's list the common signs of such dependence:

1. You spend more time with a computer than with real people. If there are almost no loved ones around you, no matter who: family, friends or just casual acquaintances due to the fact that you are constantly online, then you should already turn to professionals, and it is better to find the phone in a paper directory.
2. You can't control yourself. If you can't log out of the Network until late at night, although you promised yourself to clean the apartment in the morning in half an hour, then you have problems.
3. You are lying about the time you spend at the computer. If you embellish the truth a little bit every time someone asks how and how much you used the computer, then this can be considered an obvious sign of addiction.
4. You think you can't live without a network and a computer. If you can't imagine life without a computer and don't know if you can perform a particular task without using the Network, this is an addiction.
5. Unjustified spending on a computer. If you don't have extra money, but the hard drive is broken, do you go to buy it no matter what, not taking out the sight of a non-working computer? It's an addiction.

Having discovered an addiction, it would be nice to get rid of it, don't you think? Let's try to use the suggested tips:

1. Hire someone for routine tasks. It may not be that expensive, but it will free up your time.
2. Set the boundaries as early as possible. Do not allow yourself to spend more than a certain amount of time at the computer.
3. Let your family and friends help you. Let them count the time and warn you about the bust.
4. Change your mode. If you check your mail first thing in the morning, or right after coming home, don't do this anymore. It's easier not to sit down at the computer than to get up from behind it.
5. Do not use the computer for recreation and entertainment. Did the job — walk boldly. Look for entertainment beyond liquid crystals. The world is full of surprises.
