Internet Addict Recovery Program

“Set O Lord, … a door of enclosure round about my keyboard ….”

A friend sent me this. I realize reading it here is sort of like a TV commercial telling you to dump the Boob Tube. But, some of these may apply …

Internet Addict Recovery Program

1 – I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I
used to, before the Internet.

2 – I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

3 – I will get dressed before noon.

4 – I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner
before even thinking of the Internet.

5 – I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and
family that are Internet-deprived.

6 – I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.

7 – I will read a book … if I still remember how.

8 – I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to
turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Internet.

9 – I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

10 – I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is
necessary or not.

11 – I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my
checkbook because I was too busy on the Internet.

12 – Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime …
and the Internet will always be there tomorrow!
