Net addicition is an important problem that a lot of people are suffering from nowadays. This kind of addiction is similar to addiction to drugs or alcohol and begins in a loss of self-esteem. It has different addiction possibilities such as chats, videogames, role-playing, on-line gambling and so on.
Ther are loads of supports groups for Net addicts. For instance, The Centre for Online Addiction's or The Internet Addiction Recovery. Moreover, the net can provide you with DVDs with stories of lives shattered by a compulsion to surf the net, guides written by addicts and books. Even, in China, the first clinic on this issue was opnened last year in Beijing. At last, this issue is starting to be recognized as a legitimate object of clinical attention.
However, the most flabbergasting advertisement I can find out surfing the Internet is the following: "Earn you own Net-addict Certificate in the Internet": In other words, you can have a certificate with your name as a net addict. That's incredible!
