Internet Addiction.

    An addiction is defined as: being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit forming. People can get addicted to alcohol, drugs, shopping, tabaco, Internet, etc.

    Maybe if we heard that someone is adiccted to the Internet, we think that is not so serious as when we heard that someone is addicted to drugs or alcohol but, the truth is that every addiction must be take with seriousness.

   The fact is, that the Internet is a really dangerous thing to be addicted to, the main reason why is because it takes our all of our time, the free one  and the one that we don't have to spend. The Internet is so wide and has so much information and distracctions, that we can surf in hundreds of pages during hours without even notice it. As a consecuence, it affects our lives in all levels, with our family, friends and love ones, because we don't have time to share with them; it affects in  our jobs, because instead of doing the things that we are being paying to do, we loose time in things that are not profitable.

   In my personal opinion, people become addicted mostly, because they feel an empty in their lives that is ''covered'' in appearance, with the bad habit (alcohol, drugs, sex, etc); and in other cases, there are people that has a genetic predisposition to be addicted to something. 

   At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what kind of addiction a person could have, in an overwhelmed mayority of cases, they would need help, support, and a relentless willpower to get over an addiction, it's a hard path to cross, where every step it's a little victory that they must build every day. My deepest respect for people that struggle every day with an addiction.
