12 Step Internet Recovery Program
- I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Internet.Â
- I will eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.Â
- I will get dressed before noon.Â
- I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Internet.Â
- I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Internet-deprived.Â
- I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.
- I will read a book…if I still remember how.Â
- 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.Â
- I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.Â
- I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.Â
- I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my checkbook because I was too busy on the Internet.Â
- Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometime … and the Internet will always be there tomorrow!
