Costly protective measures will have been. Nothing. Whats. Your starting november nights on d w. The whole d w one out. For in focus Global Insights the news at four local heroes. W. Made for mines. Is what i just wanted to get back online. Eric always wants to be online hes an internet addict but twenty year old spends lots of time playing Computer Games and in social networks. He realized that himself and now he wants to end his addiction but he knows that to do that hell need help. Eric is on his way to his computer. So. Here is the monitor he calls the morning told us to have the equipment for the computer. Theres a keyboard. Yes theres a drawing tablet. Monitor is here. He isnt here is all the star mouse cables. Webcam all the extra stuff i said atlanta. Let me guess you know how do you cope with all this being here. Which was to be honest the moment i brought it all into the cellar it was as if tremendous weight fell from my shoulders. Sure sometimes i miss it and would like to get back on line but on the whole it feels good. I listen. For just good on. Maybe hes painting too rosy a picture because even if his own p. C. Use out of range eric easily finds ways to surf the internet elsewhere and then there is always who smartphone. I use it only when i urgently needed so its usually here i would i think thats the danger how do you define urgent the mind if. You have also havent you urgently needed as a buyer generally need it really maybe once a week but i use it every few days thats the crux of the problem with that i do find that the results are good that. Eric is moving from the digital to the analog world from the drawing tablet to paper and pencil he draws comics the main thing dont think about video games when his computer was still on his desk was often online day and night he lives alone with no one to interrupt him. My record was twenty hours without a break. To go to the toilet or prepare food but i ate in front of the computer. Thing then i started in the morning and continued until late in the night. Actually till the next morning. I wondered but in that situation you thought that was ok otherwise you wouldnt of done it right near no i had already started to ask myself whether which was really ok and then i realized that what im doing here will turn out badly if i have to change something but i dont have the strength to get out of this by myself and the shot is off. In this fight that was the point where i realized if i have to get help or ill go down the drain and. Eric sought help at a Counseling Center for online addicts. Usually all the seats here are occupied. But the other internet junkies didnt want to appear on camera. At home i had a lot of stress with my mother and i moved out early at just fifteen at school they used to tease me and bug me it was horrible for me and when i came home there was the p. C. Why deputy darl i played it was a way of escaping all the unpleasant feelings were suppressed and it gradually turned into a habit. Well as well. As how well that means you had a positive effect for you at that time you just felt better because of it. As well as they always looked forward to it what on the morning i felt got to go to school at school i always thought just a few more hours and i can go home and play that kept me going through the day. These days erikas lots of time he quit school and broke off his volunteer working for ecology just to keep playing even though you know looks for ways to distract himself from his craving for the internet eric is still far from clean. So. He still visits his buddies just to check is emails. Ok then lets start this is benny theyve known each other for years the problem is when you use a big fan of Computer Games and that gets erik gushing youre going to. Get more money but if you imagine a market place like e bay or amazon at steam you can buy games that you store on your steam account or best and you no longer have them physically on a cd theyre stored online in a library off steam account in mosques like that and you can access them from any computer not just at home thats it. You have a computer elsewhere you can install games from your account for i sent off to guy for that makes it more practical to. Consider it over the years ive assembled quite a collection of games you must be in forty of them. So im sure i must have put two or three hundred euros into the gangs fight and ive already been checked for us. So its not just the addiction itself its also the expense which can ruin you. Here an update there or a new game with the outlays pile im not but thats my estimate i spent about a thousand euros or maybe more. And more every i dont cost the band over fifty year old and one comes every year and i know one thousand five hundred years could be completely thousand for sure with actual money you get a drivers licenses and it sure must be a good computer game. But its not just Computer Games erik also spends a lot of time on social networks and video portals. You tube is one of my weaknesses definitely you can watch it anywhere in the library in an internet cafe with friends just click on a video its terrible you ask me not to say you anymore. You click on a video and see ten others on a suggestion and you click on the next one and then the next and soon youve lost two hours. Erikas in therapy or do you think about that really here and there be you never tell me. You know i am muslim is definitely a good idea of a schmuck i want to be oldest but you tell me you want to stop using a p. C. Altogether i suppose kansan and that makes no sense i mean you have to see the difference printed asia and work. So much if id said when you want to apply for a job you have to sit in front of a computer with to write your application it is its a must and you can submit one thats written by hand like my grandmother did in the nineteen fifties and. One reason why im. A lawyer but eric still disagrees with benny and the tendency of the times. And when he draws his comics he even manages to distract a few boys away from their smartphones. I think. This is. A. Nice. Site much from your cell phone yet its a bit of a dinosaur but im very happy with it because its the intimate. You know what you think about everyone else especially young people Walking Around with a smartphone. Got rid of mine a year ago and ive never regretted it its overwhelming how things are today as i say yeah everyone has one and im really glad im not five years younger because then the temptation will be even greater you cant escape it anymore. Eric wants to withdraw from his addiction. Hes serious about therapy and goes to an addiction clinic stationery Treatment Group therapy individual talks. Cameras arent allowed. Hes released is cured two and a half months later. How was it. Great i already missed my fellow patients. I do this in Occupational Therapy so it shows the contrast between the mask i show to other people and might in a life which i try to hide or. As if i had to delve into the difference or and. Since ive started doing this i had a feeling that i dont need my p. C. Anymore. Yeah. Of course its not easy. To have to learn to be more honest with myself but i want to. Have realized i feel a lot better when i own up to myself. Sometimes it was very intense i cried i hadnt done that in a long time. And while i. Was one evening it was all too much for me everything i had repressed for so long the reasons i always played online yet surfaced again. Couldnt go back to that again but at this moment it was all so much and. It all came out. He still feels funny i feel kind of naked in comparison with before its over but i no longer feel this inner pressure i dont feel as if i need this distraction this is desperately playing. Erikas accomplished a lot turned exposed his innermost self but he knows he has to continue working on himself. So whats your plan now. I want to get to know myself better so im going to go to a buddhist monastery for two weeks. Then after looking forward to it then ill see if i like to study social work and i have to see whether i resume my volunteer work here and find another way of finishing vocational high school. Thats my idea from now. On the computer will stay in the cellar. Completely decided to distribute its parts and best of my best friend gets the monitor another friend gets the drawing tablet im going to give it all away. Ok good luck thank you.
