Im addicted to using the Internet. The only problem is, is that I work in an office and we're not supposed to use it.
I have been here for about 11 months and I've been told off for it about 6 times. I could lose my job and face major embaressment because I cant stop. We are allowed on the internet just not all day on certain sites, they havent blocked anything and it is so horrible knowing I will get told off as im so shy. I have the internet at home but it isnt as interesting as it is when im at work (I dont know why) Its like when im on the internet I dont care but when I turn it off I feel sacred and guilty. Im 17 and this is really really hard to deal with. I know it sounds crazy but I really cant stop and I want some advice. Please help!

You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

Only you can control your own behavior, but I am glad you are asking for help. There is probably a support group for this somewhere and you need to attend. This behavior can possibly to take over your life and possibly cost you your job.

This is not an addiction. It is an obsession and a lack of normal self-control. You would be best served by having internet access removed from your work site. Continuing in this activity will result in your termination and will then cure the problem.

This is a new age addiction. I had the same thing. You must have other priorities and other hobbies or you will never stop. It is becoming more and more common these days.
