do you or some one you know need rehab from the internet? $14,500 will get you 45 days of rehab! i cant imagine paying that much or being so addicted i would need it! do you think this is just going to spread and be the new addiction and more rehabs pop up etc? do you think its legit or just silly and fake? and with technology can we even avoid the internet in the future enough to keep it from not being an addiction?? i like the internet and i miss it a lot but ugh some days i want to not even log in so no one call "intervention" on me

Ha, I would definitely not spend $14,500 on MY internet addiction. . Nooo thank you! Besides, my addiction actually makes me money (on sites like myLot).

I think I am still in control. I don't need intervention yet either.....I love my computer...spend time here and there but limit my time so I can get other things done.....that's alot of bucks to help someone get off the internet! LOL

i think the only reason i spend so much time is because i have not much i can do other wise.. cant work and cant be too active due to health and so being on the pc is my social life and fun time all in one

Wow! I guess some people will be desperate enough to pay that amount to be rid of an internet addiction. I love the internet. I know plenty of teenagers who are obsesed with the internet. At what level would one be addicted? I guess if you are not doing necessary jobs, not socialising, not cooking meals, not pursuing other interests, then one had an addiction. I do get tired, and even unmotivated at times, from iunternet activties, so I do take time out to pursuer other things. When I was away for one week just after Christmas, I didnt miss the internet at all.
