What is a "netaholic"?


Internet addiction is a socio-cultural phenomenon that generated a major concern worldwide and has just reached the category of psychological problem
One of the main problems that specialists have faced is how to name this new phenomenon, which seems to be a kind of global monster that demands its own name.

Addiction "on line?," Dependence Disorder Internet?, "Disorder pathological Internet use?," Internet Addiction Syndrome?, "Sick of the Web?," Netaholics?

Within this context, we began to detect a growing concern for the increase in excess of the Internet and one of the first signs of this concern was the formation of various aid groups to control the addiction.

The American Psychiatric Association gave official recognition to the disorder, so he is currently considered as an addiction to be treated, for which it requested the collaboration of Dr. Young (Psychologist, University of Pittsburgh and founder of the Center Addiction to on-line), now considered an expert on the subject.

Am I becoming a Netaholic or Do I love to Socialize?

That is a question I can't answer yet because I dont know if I am netaholic or not. I know when I take a sit in front of a computer the time goes fast. I like to be online in diferent social networks, like Facebook, Twitter, Hi5, My Space, etc. It is so cool when you can talk wiht a lot of people that you know, people that you have a lot of time without see them, for example all my friends and family that I have at the United States and Europe and other towns in our country.

Something that makes me almost Netaholic is that I am very sacial and I like socialize all the time, but I think that the computer and the internet aren't going to mak unsocial because I like to talk with people face to face, I like to feel the people near me, not like on the computer.

So, when I have a Blackberry and I am chatting or checking the social networks, please don't think that I am a Netaholic, it's that I love socialize.

SODA ADDICTON




Today i was talking with my boyfriend and my friends about the topic that we are discussing in class, according to them i have an addiction that is to drink soda, but as the addict rarely admits it the truth i am not sure of it.

Although to be honest, sometimes also believe it, because usually i drink a soda with lunch and dinner. I work all day and during my break always need to drink soda. Three months ago my boyfriend and my colleagues have suggested that i should drink less soda.

My colleagues talked with the young man in the cafeteria that stop to sell me soda , since that they think that i drink less soda but they are wrong because now i buy it at home.


The truth is that if an addiction is something that you can not control then my addiction is drink soda.

Addictions

Addiction to me it is the overuse of somsthing and the addict feels that he can t life without this.The addiction can be the consume of drugs, can be of drink alchol etc, or can be of activity ( as shoping, eat, read etc) and games.

There are a lot of people becoming an internet addicted. They are using the computer for a long time, they surf, they chat etc.They prefer be in front of thier computer that to share with thier famili or thier frieds.

I think that the main addiction in our country it is the use of drugs principle by yong people.Also there area big number of them that are spending a long time with the games and they are getting bad grates in school.
Not only young people are addict to internet also thre are adults people that all the time have fever to use the computer, they spend hours sending and writing messages.

Thanks God I don t have addiction to anything. I like my life free of things that could be dangerous to me and my body.

! Addictions !


Addictions, Well at first to talk about addictions maybe in my case I will need more than 3 pages to give reasons and why addictions affect human being.


At first addictions are habits that you can't control by yourself , for example, Coffe, Chocolates, Sex, Shopping, Drugs, cigarettes and so on, however I mentioned many common of them. I ask How people starting become addicted?, What is the cause?, Is it a Fashion or really Is it a problem that involve people?, Ok people maybe starting like a hobby while the time is passing by they become to feel atraction and an emptiness in their lives as a result they don't know what is happening then the addiction catch the person.


I mean there are many reasons to people fall in this problem such as, families problems, depression, absence of money, as I told before like a hobby and so on. What can I do to cold turkey my addiction?, First recognize your addiction, help of God, and willpower.

A REAL CASE
I have a friend who is addicted to cigarettes he not to finish a cigarette when he has the other on smking, he smoke about four packs a day and a result of that he is very sick, his wife took him to the doctor and found he has a lung obstructed and the other is very inflamed, the doctor told him that if he wanted to last a year of life has to stop to smoke but he does not stop smoking and now he is between life and death.

I think is easy so biging with an addiction, but is not easy to stop it, for example peoples smoke the first day and has not ploblem to control, but when continue smoking every day, people miss cigarrette. and at the final people can't control this habit, and can't live without this.
