HELP I have an Internet Addiction , how do I stop using Computer Cold Turkey ? - NEWME89 - 01-28-2013 10:45 AM
A day doesn't go by when im not on computer. I need help. What can I do when I get the urge to look on internet all day? I work but not everyday.

I'm sorry to hear this. I understand how hard addiction can be. My mom is addicted to QVC. She buys like a hundred dollars worth of stuff! I guess it would be best to find a group of other addicts and talk about it. If you're too scared to go to a meeting in person. You could probably find one that meets online. Hope that helps.

i had the same problem but it was with social networks.. i deactived my facebook, deleted my twitter, instagram and tagged accounts. i also un-installed the apps from my phone so i won't have to look at them and be tempted. i suggest getting your internet cut off that way you CAN'T get on it. if not, just find another way to occupy your mind so that you are focused on something else , rather than the internet .

Trying to end it cold turkey is probably not a good idea. Slowly reducing your usage everyday and setting limits for yourself should help, but it could take a little bit. There are lots of programs and apps that could help with this sort of thing.
