deal with other emotions, you’ll need to develop coping
skills in order to reduce your urges to use the internet.
Instead of resorting to the internet as a method of
coping with stress or anger or other emotions,
develop skills that will help you to cope with these
emotions without the internet.
95. Take these steps to get your internet
usage under control
• Get support.
• You’ll need an extensive support network to help
you through the difficult times when you are most
vulnerable and susceptible to using the internet.
Your support network may consist of friends,
family members, co-workers, community
groups, and social support groups as well as
your counsellor or therapist.
97. Take these steps to get your internet
usage under control
• Log your time.
One way that you can reduce the amount of time
that you spend online is to actually keep a log of
the time that you do spend online.
Keep track of the time of day that you log
onto the internet, how long you spend and any
emotions that were present prior to your use of
the internet or during your internet use.
You can even log your activity online so that you
can review your log to determine emotions that
may have triggered a particular activity or
impulsive behaviour.
99. Take these steps to get your internet
usage under control
• Set a timer.
You can reduce the amount of time that you
spend online by setting a timer before you go
online and making a commitment to yourself to
get off of your computer when the timer goes off.
You should also make a commitment to turn
your computer off at a particular time each
day to allow for interaction with family or to
handle other tasks.
101. Take these steps to get your internet
usage under control
• Substitute internet usage with healthy
activities.
• Instead of going online, take a walk, read a
book, call a friend or find another way to fill
the time with a healthy activity.

Treatment

who cannot cope with or overcome their internet
addiction on their own.

consider these internet addiction treatment options:
• Cognitive-behavioural Therapy – providing methods of
changing compulsive thoughts that result in poor behaviour
into positive thoughts and reactions, cognitive-behavioural
therapy can help to change the perceptions that you have
regarding your internet use. This method of therapy is
effective at reducing anxiety, eliminating stress or
alleviating depression.
105. Methods of Internet Addiction
Treatment
• Support Groups while there may not be as many
support groups for those suffering from internet
addiction as there are for those suffering from
substance abuse or a gambling addiction, there are
often alternatives.
• For instance, if you tend to spend your time
online gambling, you can take part in
Gamblers Anonymous, or if you tend to spend
your time watching pornography, Sex Addicts
Anonymous may be an alternative social
support option.

Internet
• These are the steps you can take to help that
individual overcome their addiction.
