hi rose,

thanks for your email,

all i can suggest is that you keep giving  him support in his efforts to overcome this addiction.

im sure there are many therapists in your area which you can find in your phone book.

im glad he has acknowledged that he needs help and is willing to get some.

i wish you both good luck,

Expertise

I have been online for five years now and I come in contact everyday with people online who have all kinds of stories about why they are online and the time spent here. I feel confident that i can guide someone with an addiction on the right path or help someone know if they are addicted or not.

Experience

I spend many hours a day online and spoken to people who have been addicted to the net. When i first discovered the internet, i know i became very addicted to it so i speak from personal experience about how it effected my friends and family.
