So you cant put down the keyboard, you just need 10 more mins on the internet before you have to go....well there is a place for you....Center For Internet Addiction and Recovery
The Center for Online Addiction offers hope and valuable resources to those seeking information about Internet addiction. Internet addiction is a type of compulsive disorder and as an organization, we are specifically dedicated to helping people who suffer from this new form of addictive behavior.
According to HotHardWare the cost runs for a 45 day stay $14,500. plus incidental. They can house up to 6 patients. Oh it gets better what do you do for the 45 days for $14,500. ? You get to milk baby goats...seriously. Ok I'm thinking I can cut you a break and for half the price I'll feed ya, give you a nice place to say and I may even let you do laundry to keep ya busy. Ok so if your needing animal critter time - I may let you change the littler box. Just be glad you don't live in China they had a rehab center but they beat the kids:
HotHardWare reported:
the teen in Washington is bottle-feeding baby goats, the teens in China's Internet addiction boot camp sometimes suffer "physical punishment," one camp's founder told the BBC. That camp has since been closed and the owner arrested.
SO your not sure your a addict huh - well take the test (the rehab center offers these tests)......

- Internet Addiction Test (IAT)
- Quiz for Obsessive Online Gambling
- Quiz for Compulsive Online Gamers
- Quiz for Online Auction Addiction

I took the IAT one and it reported this on me...
Your Score: 61
Results: 50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.
Personally I think if you didn't get alteast a 50 that means that you simply are not spending enough time on Geekdrop (shame on you) and if you got more then 80 well you are on your way to earning bunches of badges
ooohhhh interesting... will take those tests later, results may or may not be posted, depending...
The cybersex one is kinda funny - basically if you breath and own a computer you will FAIL. Not that I failed
Oh wait is it like one of those facebook quizzes, that no matter how many times you switch your answers around it will ALWAYS come back with the same result???
OK i was really surprised because i consider myself a tad-bit addicted.
woo, check me out...not half as bad as i thought
