Webcam Addict?

[neverlate]

God! Everyone is an addict these days if they spend too much time with something. It's a person's business what they do. I think, even with drugs, you just have people that like what they are doing a lot; they are not addicts.

It's no reason for divorce. Do you get a divorce if a wife goes to a strip club? Get real, stop being so prudish. Just tell him to limit his quantitiy of drinking and use only the cheaper webcam sites. It can be a phase. At least its safe.

Recognize any underlying problems that may support his Internet addiction. If he is struggling with depression, stress, or anxiety, for example, Internet addiction might be a way to self-soothe rocky moods. Has he had problems with alcohol or drugs in the past? Does anything about his Internet use remind him of how he used to drink or use drugs to numb out? Recognize if he need to address treatment in these areas, such as therapy, or returning to group support meetings.
Build his coping skills. Perhaps blowing off steam on the Internet is his way of coping with stress or angry feelings. Or maybe he has trouble relating to others, or are excessively shy with people in real life. Building skills in these areas will help him weather the stresses and strains of daily life without resorting to compulsive Internet use.
