At first, I would occasionally use the Internet just for fun-to read anecdotes or chat on ICQ. However even in that innocent time, there were some early warning signs such as developing the habit of eating in front of the computer and even destroying my first keyboard by spilling coffee on it.

2. It is well known that there are many on-line users who are seriously addicted to
the Internet. This addiction develops slowly, much in the same way as drugs or
alcohol.
It is easy to miss the point when one stops controlling his or her actions and
addiction takes over. I know being one of those who missed the point a long time
ago. Today I am trying to analyze how this happened and what the reasons were
that brought me into this hopeless condition.
At first, I would occasionally use the Internet just for fun-to read anecdotes or
chat on ICQ. However even in that innocent time, there were some early
warning signs such as developing the habit of eating in front of the computer and
even destroying my first keyboard by spilling coffee on it.
As time passed, I established some friendly and even romantic relationships with
other online users and began to check my e-mail not only in the morning, but in
the afternoon, evening, and even at night on the way back from the bathroom.
If I only knew how rapidly I was tumbling toward trouble, I might have done
something about it. Unfortunately, as with any addicted person, I did not notice
the things that may have looked weird to normal people.
And here I am: having more friends online than in the real world and running a
full time business on the Internet. There are five computers in my home. They
are everywhere including the kitchen. If someone asks me why I need so many
computers, I won't be able to explain it clearly. Just the same as people who
have a TV set in every room cannot explain why they do.
-Because of my obsession with the Internet, I always travel with a laptop and stay
only in those hotels that offer an Internet connection.

3. -Even while shopping at the giant warehouse stores such as Sam's or Costco, I
cannot pass by the aisles with computers without trying to open a few websites.
If I don't have a little extra time, then I just try to open Google and take a quick
glance at their homepage. After that I am able to continue my shopping in a very
satisfied and happy mood.
-Recently things turned from bad to worse. As I was walking through a new home
builder's models looking for a house, I noticed that fake computers placed for
designer's purposes made me nervous. In contrast, a fake TV or fruit display did
not bother me at all.
-Being a right-handed person, I learned to operate the computer mouse with my
left hand, so that I will not be curtailed from browsing the web when my right wrist
hurts.
-When I read a newspaper and see the "www.anyaddress.com" I subconsciously
try to click on it, as if there was a mouse in my hand.
-If I do not use the Internet for more than a day, I feel awful like it is the end of the
world.
Because there is no such group as "Internet Addiction Anonymous," I decided to
write about my Internet obsession hoping that I can find other online users who
are suffering from similar symptoms.
