Internet Addiction
Addiction is a mental disorder. Unfortunately, in our society we look down on people with mental disorders. One way of coping with this is for the addict to seek refuge in his or her vice. Luckily, for the internet addict, it isolates them from the world. A big part of the destructive cycle of addiction is with our society. People are more willing to address their addictions when we treat them like normal people with normal problems. They would not run from society as so many internet addicts currently do.

My s/o is internet addicted. He asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I told him a day with no tv and no p/c. He did not grant my birthday wish. He wakes up, eats, showers, gets on his p/c and stays on it until he goes to sleep… what can I do?
