Internet rehab?

Well I'm definitely not ashamed to admit this here, so I'll just tell you because this is just an overwhelming situation. I've been in two serious relationships over the past three years and I lost both due to my Internet addiction. I have an infatuation with online relationships and cybersex. It’s something deep inside me that I can’t seem to control. I’ve felt so many times like this is ruining my life, but I still can’t stop. It’s like it’s never enough. I feel like I can never truly be happy with myself, walking around with this in my head, because in my heart I know it’s wrong but I still just can’t control it.

Has anyone on this site been to Internet addiction rehab? Does that even exist?

Hi there,

There is definitely no reason to be ashamed of your addiction, and I am glad you posted. There are many people who are still a bit confused as to what internet addiction entails, and in my opinion your symptoms would definitely put you in the extremely high risk zone for being an internet addict.

As far as internet rehab, I am really not too sure. But I do know that there are several people here on these forums that can relate and maybe even going through the same thing as you. Stick around a while, and I am sure you will find lots of support and information. Maybe someone else knows about internet rehab?

I think this website has an internet addiction proffessional that you could talk to.. I talked to a drug addiction proffessional for my son and they are actually a lot of help. Check it out and I'm sure you could find an answer to your problem :)
