These groups do not cost money to attend and can connect you with other people who are experiencing the same thing that you are. Look for a group that meets in person, if possible. If you need to use the computer to access an online group, you may end up using the computer more than you intend to. Find a local therapist who can work with you on your computer addiction. You may want to begin private therapy sessions or to join a therapy group for people struggling with computer addiction. Some therapists accept medical insurance. Online directories can help you find a local therapist who specializes in addiction. Talk to the people in your life about your addiction. Let them know that you're concerned about your own behavior and would like their support in working on changing it. You can ask loved ones to help you monitor your computer usage. You can say, "I'm worried that I'm addicted to the computer. Would you be willing to keep an eye on my behavior and step in if you see me getting sucked into it?" You can ask loved ones to spend quality time with you as a way of keeping you engaged in non-computer activities. You can say, "I want to find positive ways to spend my time that don't involve the computer. Can we prioritize spending quality time together without the computer? We could go for a walk one a week or eat dinner together every night." Ask loved ones not to engage you in computer-related activities while you're working on recovery. You can say, "I know you don't have problems with your own computer usage, but I'm really struggling with my own. Would you mind not using the computer around me so much, or at least not asking me to engage with you while you're using it?"
