Addiction to being on the internet can take a variety of forms: addiction to pornography websites, addiction to shopping websites such as e-bay or craigslist, addiction to game websites, as well as addiction to chat rooms. Susceptibility to any addiction increases whenever a state of “HALT” is present (Hungry, Angry, Lonely and/or Tired). Adding to the vulnerability to this addiction is the 24 hour a day access to the internet, and the ability to connect wirelessly means that internet access now can happen anywhere, anytime. Treatment of this addiction follows a similar pathway as the treatment of other addictions: 1. admitting to the problem; 2. accepting that one cannot overcome this problem alone, 3. being accountable to someone to help overcome this, 4. creating healthier connections with people to fill the emptiness in a more complete and satisfying way.
