Doc, (if u don't mind may I call you this way?) I felt your genuine concern and caring heart for a psycho like myself. I really appreciate that. I think most of us thinking about dying once in a while. Thinking itself is not a danger... is it? To me, living is more of a duty than joy... I have many mouths to feed and I plan to carry out my duty faithfully. (I do get quite a bit of joy from this SI though) It doesn't matter if SI Bob cut me off from SI, I have another life time membership. I don't use it but just in case I get kicked out, I have a back up (Am I qualified as a true SI junkie or what?) I'll have that super junkie award. jon

I come up with some suggestions to help IA from my OWN experience & observation. So it ain't NO scientific way to cure IA. Having said that, I divided IA into 3 groups. 1. IA junkies. 2. IA (normal addiction) 3. IA, candidates. 1. IA junkies: - Spend over 60 hours per week surfing the net. - Divorced or in brink of divorce because of internet abuse. - Developed serious health problem due to internet. - Cannot carry out NORMAL life due to internet. Since IA junkie is the most serious problem, let me address that first.
