12-Step Internet 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!
