About this title

Synopsis

Put Down the Phone! Your Life Is Waiting!

Internet Addiction is a real and severe addiction. It can rob you of your career, relationships, and life. Ask yourself this: do you spend most of your time online? Would you rather spend time playing games than spending it with family and friends? Do you become anxious without access to your smartphone or computer? If so, you may have a problem. 

It is time to take back your life and live with a purpose! However, you will need help doing so. With this book, Nathan Driskell, a therapist and former Internet Addict, has created a framework for you to begin combating your addiction to the Internet & electronics. 

Take Your Life Back

The book is broken down into 30 days of activities designed to help you learn how to fight your addiction. In the first section, you will learn more about who you are, your addiction, and what you gain from it. You will gain insight into your strengths, weaknesses, and learn coping skills to combat urges.

The next section focuses on taking control of your life by slowly replacing the Internet with other activities. You will learn how to build a healthy routine, how to make more real-life relationships, and how to combat negative thoughts from sending you into relapse. 

The final section puts everything together into a final routine you can use going forward. You will also learn how to set realistic goals for yourself and your future. 

You Can Do This!

Be warned! Change is difficult. You will have many activities and exercises to complete if you are to embark on the road to recovery. You do not need to be perfect, but you need to try! 

Nathan Driskell has spent the past nine years using these techniques to help people who are addicted to electronics and the Internet. Hundreds of people have been helped by these techniques.
