Is it enough to spend a certain quantity of hours in front of the PC to become an internet addict? According to specialists an addict is a person who cannot control himself or herself when being in contact with the thing that is the consequence of his/her addiction.

    So the person may be on line ten hours a day but it does not necessarily mean he/she is an addict, unless he/she cannot avoid doing it. That is the case of Johanna, who has admitted her addiction in the last month. She used to pass more than 8 hours per day surfing on the internet, looking for information, playing any game that appeared there. Many things were left behind because there was an imperious need of searching every site on the internet. She is married and her marriage was threatened because of her addiction. She had no time for house-working, for paying attention to her husband and working at a well-known company specialized in agrochemicals. As a consequence, she was sleepless during the nights because she was missing the news on the web.

    She is an example of how an internet addiction can put in danger your life, as any other does. The first step is to know we are at a serious problem if we have a friend or relative that is going through this. Then the addicted person has to be aware of that situation, because if not he/she is not going to be in conditions of starting any treatment. Extensive attention has to be paid in order to support the person, due to the vulnerable condition he/she may be at.

    If you do not know how to manage a sensible situation like this one, there are several centers that can help you and guide you to start the rehabilitation. Whether we are internet addicts or not, it is essential to take into account that there is a certain risk when spending so much time surfing the web.

    投入一定數(shù)量的時(shí)間坐在電腦前成為一個(gè)網(wǎng)蟲(chóng)這有必要嗎？根據(jù)一些專家的認(rèn)為，這些上癮者是由于他們跟接觸事物的時(shí)候無(wú)法控制自己從而就導(dǎo)致了他們上癮的結(jié)果。

    一個(gè)人有可能花費(fèi)十個(gè)小時(shí)泡在網(wǎng)上這并一定就意味著他/她就是網(wǎng)癮患者，除非他/她無(wú)法避免要這樣做，約翰娜就是這樣一個(gè)案例。她在上個(gè)月承認(rèn)自己患上了網(wǎng)癮，她過(guò)去每天都會(huì)花上8個(gè)小時(shí)上網(wǎng)，尋找信息，玩那些出現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上的游戲，很多事情都被拋在了后面，因?yàn)樵诰W(wǎng)上搜索每個(gè)網(wǎng)頁(yè)成了她迫切的需要。她已經(jīng)結(jié)婚了而且她的婚姻受到了網(wǎng)癮的威脅，她沒(méi)時(shí)間去做家務(wù)，去關(guān)注她那在一家著名的專門(mén)從事農(nóng)業(yè)化肥生產(chǎn)公司上班的丈夫。作為結(jié)果，她在晚上變得失眠，因?yàn)樗�迷失在網(wǎng)上的這些信息里。

    約翰娜只是一個(gè)網(wǎng)癮會(huì)把你的生活置于危險(xiǎn)之中的個(gè)例。而其他人要做的第一步就是知道如果我們的朋友或者親戚在經(jīng)歷網(wǎng)癮那面對(duì)的就是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題，其次上癮者必須要意識(shí)到這個(gè)情況，因?yàn)樗麄兎浅Ｈ菀滋幱谌鮿?shì)條件下，由于沒(méi)有得到一定條件的治療或者沒(méi)有廣泛的關(guān)注去支持他們。

    如果你不能明智地處理像這樣的情況，這些要點(diǎn)可以幫助和指導(dǎo)你去開(kāi)始康復(fù)，不管你是否已經(jīng)染上網(wǎng)癮，這都是必不可少的考慮，因?yàn)槊刻旎ㄟ@么多時(shí)間掛在網(wǎng)上是很可能有染上網(wǎng)癮的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)存在。
