Also if Internet addicts could afford about $377 a day to get help, I think they wouldn't be Internet addicts and do something much better than World Of Warcraft with their lives.

No, I have other things to do with life instead of going to some stupid Internet Addiction centre.

I don't think I could afford it. So that's a no. If I could afford it? Probably not. I'm not as bad as I used to be. I got over my internet addiction naturally. I didn't use any step-by-step programs. I was on here about 6-8 hours a day during the summer. I'd get all tense and anxious whenever I couldn't go on. My parents even considered sending me to internet rehab! I finally went back to school, and I learned how I could control my urge to come on here less. I like to give myself a little internet detox every now and then. That always helped me. It's always nice to come back on here after 2 weeks, and have about 200 emails in my inbox. I don't come on here as much as I used to. I'm getting more involved in other activities. Some say that internet addiction can be just as powerful as a drug addiction. I actually believe them. I bet there are some people out there that are truly addicted to the internet. I think internet rehab is an execellent idea. They should have an "Internet Addicts Anonymous". Or an "Yahoo Answers Addicts Anonymous" :P. I know so many people that admit to being addicted to this site. Last year, I was addicted to "Club Penguin". I was only 12 at the time though. I get addicted to websites easily.



Sorry, that answer was a bit long. Way too elaborate, considering the fact that this is just a random poll.

If I can barely afford to get back-to-school supplies, there is no way in bloody hell that I can afford a $14,500 program for Internet addicts. And it's not covered by insurance. So, it's a lose-lose for me. I guess I'll just continue to sit in my dark bedroom on Friday nights using Yahoo! Answers and playing Karoshi Suicide Salaryman.
