Internet/Computer Addictions are on the rise. But we don’t have to tell you that, do we? Even Melanie admits to felony possession of an HP iPaq, while Kelly’s husband, Barry, has entered a twelve step program for recovering Crackberry users.

Here are the top ten signs of an Internet/Computer Addiction:

1. Inability to predict amount of time spent on computer.
2. Failure to control personal use
3. Having a sense of euphoria while on computer.
4. Craving more computer time.
5. Neglecting family and friends.
6. Feeling restless, irritable and discontent when offline.
7. Lying about computer activity
8. Problems with school or job performance as result of time spent on computer.
9. Feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety or depression as result of time spent on computer.
10. Changes in sleep patterns

Sound familiar? We’d write more, but we don’t want anyone to have to stage an intervention.
