Stay offline for a week, unplug your computer. Don't even go online to check email. If you can do that without acting like someone giving up smoking or some other addictive habit, you're okay. If you start acting like a grumpy bear (or worse) you know you have a problem.

If you get home from somewhere, and go strait online. If you think about who might have e-mailed you today. If you wish you could go on your aim or check your e-mail or even surf when your doing something else... if you spend a good portion of your free time (I’d say at least 3 hours) online every single day... this is all coming from first hand experience... oh and if the worse punishment you can think of involves and internet ban...

If internet use is messing with other parts of your life (family, friends, work, school, eating, sleeping, etc.) then you're addicted enough to worry.

If you're asking you probably have someone either calling you an addict or you've thought about if you are one. If you think you might be one you probably are. Addiction is really in the eye of the beholder though.

If you consistently skip meals or constipate yourself in order to keep browsing without interruption, you know you have a problem. If your modem has been on for over a week without being powered down, you might have a problem as well.
