A 'disease' called "ADDICTION TO THE INTERNET"

Just the other day when I was supposed to be studying for my Finance mid-term, which will take place on Wednesday, as usual I came online, checked orkut, facebook and then was just bored! To kill the boredom, i started 'surfing' the Internet again(Orkut, Youtube, Facecbook, Yahoo! Games, along with Hi5, Myspace, etc.) Why was I bored when I should've been studying for one of the 'toughest' mid-terms?
The answer: I'M ADDICTED TO THE INTERNET!

Yea, I know I'm addicted to the Internet. I've tried controlling it, but ever since I've got my laptop(around 15 months ago), I haven't been able to control it. In fact, it just got worse! Dad had been warning me of this, but I was too busy in the 'busy'ness of the Internet to notice his predictions!
ALAS! I wish there was a cure for this 'disease' called "ADDICTION TO THE INTERNET"

I'm pretty sure there are many out there who are diagnosed with this 'disease'. Now, there's no need to go to a doctor and waste money to get a checkup whether you have this 'disease' or not. One can easily figure this out by himself/herself or be told by others, like parents, siblings or friends.

Yes, there are many articles on the Internet about Internet addiction, even Wikipedia (duh!) has a page on, the so-called "ADDICTION TO THE INTERNET" 'disease'. From my perspective, Wiki has classified it in a 'general' category, and there's a specific name, called, "Internet Addiction Disorder", in short: IAD. Do take a look if you wish to read and have nothing else to do! :-)

In spite of all the articles and blogs about the Internet addiction problem/disorder, or as I call it "Disease"(hahaha!), there seems to be no cure. There might be some 'Tips', 'Preventions', or even so-called 'Treatment', but do all these really help? I've read one article about controlling the Internet, didn't help me at all, therefore, I stopped reading any articles related to 'Tips to control Internet addiction." Here's my remark for these related articles: BULLSH*T! (BS! for short)

So, as we cope with the so called "IAD", as I would say, "A 'disease' called 'ADDICTION TO THE INTERNET,'" I would like to take some time to welcome the newcomers in this category, "WELCOME", and If you are already in it, please slap yourselves and get back to work, i.e. being addicted!!!!
