Internet Addiction Monitor
If you are concerned about the frequency, duration or intensity of your Internet surfing, the Internet Usage Monitor can help. Use the questions below to track your Internet behaviors and assess your Internet impulses. Are your reasons for surfing reasonable and healthy? Or are they indications that you are attempting to avoid, escape or replace other facets of your life? Print out the list of questions below and keep them next to your computer. The next time you decide to log on, pull out the Internet Usage Monitor list. Or else, bookmark this page and make it the very first page you view whenever you log on to the Internet. Before surfing, honestly answer the questions. If you find yourself answering "yes" to four or more of the questions below: seriously consider shutting down your computer and walking away. Surfing is clearly not a healthy thing for you to be doing at that time. At the very least, record your responses every time you log on to the Internet in order to track your progress over time. Are you improving? Or getting worse? Are you better able to pinpoint the times at which you are most likely to succumb to surfing? If you do not find yourself improving, please consider seeking further help with your Internet addiction.
