I was addicted to the computer for a couple of years. Then I realized why my house was a mess and decided time would be better spent elsewhere.

Just go find something else to do and save the $14k ffs!

It sounds like a good program. But $14,000? Me say a bit pricey, no?

And at only $14,000 for 45 days, it's PERFECT for rich Yuppies and their spoiled kids...

this program is a joke. $14,000 for a whole 45 days? You could do so many other things with that much money, or even less, that would do you even better good to keep you out away from your video games. Take a trip somewhere.

You could spend 3 months out in the forest, camping beside a roaring creek, for less that a third of that - this kind of therapy is strictly for Yuppies and their spoiled rotten spawn...

Republicans work hard to divide Americans and make them scare of one another so they can rule with lie and hate.

It is a natural progression for those who want no part of hate to seek solace other ways.

This isn't for people with internet addiction, it's for people who have no self control and want to forget their life... And if their life is so bad they have to be on the internet constantly, they need more help than this "rehab" center. What a joke.

It's not an addiction. It's a behavioral issue experienced by people who can't stand to be alone with their own thoughts.
