Health Can't Stop Web Surfing? Go to Rehab

[The Helper]

At the height of his Internet addiction, Ben estimated that he spent at least 16 hours a day surfing the Web.

"Days would pass before I would shower, shave or eat," Ben told ABCNews.com.

The college student, who asked that his last name not be used because of privacy concerns, said that he simply could not get off the computer.

Ben said he would play computer games until the sun came up and then sleep for a few hours during the day. Eventually, he simply lost interest in the world around him and flunked out of college.

Now HE had problems. I think/hope most of us don't come to the point where we don't shower, eat, or flunk out of school.

Fixed.

The article is about a guy with OCD and a depression, not a game addiction whih doesn't even exist outside the media's mind.
