Internet adiction: China has rehab centers for internet addicts. I do not know of such in the USA. Start a healthier life style (good cycle of eat-sleep-work-socializing-fitness schedule) and stick to it to gradually reduce internet time. Easier to say than do.

Mutual support helps: You might consider checking out the mutual support groups that are available on the internet. An alcoholic who wants recovery, and is unable to leave the bar, may find another alcoholic in the bar who is looking for recovery, and together they may do what neither could do alone.

RXunderlying disease: Most "process addictions" - gambling, overeating, sex addiction, internet addiction - are related to underlying anxiety disorders and/or depressive disorders. Some 12-step techniques work for some process addictions, such as gambling, but others, including internet addiction, are usually part of an obsessive-compulsive personality and the underlying disorders needs to be treated. See psychiatrist.
