12 Step Program of Recovery for Web Addicts 

1 I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and 
read my PAPER newspaper like I used to, before the Web.
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 Web.
5 I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate 
few friends and family that are Web-deprived.
6 I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact 
via the Web.
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 Web.
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 Web.
12 Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed !
