Pigeon's 12 Step Program of Recovery

for Web Addicts

  1. Have a cup of coffee in the morning and read your paper newspaper like you used to, before the Web.

  2. Eat breakfast with a knife and fork and not with one hand typing.

  3. Get dressed before noon.

  4. Make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.

  5. Sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and family that are Web-deprived.

  6. Call someone on the phone who you cannot contact via the Web.

  7. Read a book... if you still remember how.

  8. Listen to those around you and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so you can hear the music on the Web.

  9. Do not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.

  10. Try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

  11. Remember that your bank is not forgiving if you forget to balance your checkbook because you were too busy on the Web.

  12. Last, but not least: Remember that you must go to bed sometime... and the Web will always be there tomorrow!
