How Do I Get Rid of My Internet Addiction When I Have to Use It for Work?
Question by Holly: How do I get rid of my internet addiction when I have to use it for work?
I have a bad addiction to the internet and it gets in the way of my work. I research stuff online for work so I can’t just give up the internet.

How can I stop myself?
