Would anyone else like this anti-addiction therapy?

and...how does it end?
or is that the last one? o.O

AvGalen · Dec 31, 2007

I think that is the last one. Look at the date in the url

Dyste · Dec 31, 2007

It's still technically the 31st in most countries, though.

Stefan · Dec 31, 2007

Are they not allowed to continue in 2008? I don't get it.

Dyste · Dec 31, 2007

No, it's just that the last comic shown is for the 31st, so I'm guessing that it's a website made in the U.S., therefore the next comic may either be a New Year's special like the Christmas one with the dogs, continuing on the 2nd, or it may just continue. But we won't know whether or not there will be more until the next one is released.

Why doesn't anyone answer the question "Would anyone else like this anti-addiction therapy?"

Let me be the first to answer it. I must admit I have had this type of anti-addiction therapy in the past. According to the therapist I responded very well to the therapy, but she recommended repeated treatment just to be sure I wouldn't get a relapse

Not very long after the worst of the addiction was over, she proclaimed she would no longer be my therapist

Now I am wondering if I need to fall back into my old habits so I can find a new therapist

Stefan · Jan 1, 2008

Now that you insist I think about the thread subject, I finally understand it. I had somehow thought about the whole storyline, but now I realize you meant the very last one. And yes, I guess I could like it, but I'm not sure. I'm complicated.

AvGalen · Jan 1, 2008

I would encourage you to give it a try

I would recommend finding a new therapist prior to falling back into your old habits. If you do the reverse you run the risk of not being able to find a new therapist. :rolleyes:

I agree. Can you recommend me a new therapist, preferably one that is specialized in this kind of treatment?

Dene · Jan 1, 2008

Lol, the therapy could work, but perhaps the therapist would need to go a bit further, as such material could easily be found on the internet... I'm not sure if the therapist would be able to get away with it though!

AvGalen · Jan 1, 2008

OK, before this becomes X-rated let's realize that the therapist should actually be a girlfriend and not a professional therapist. And it really shouldn't be one of those German female "professionals".

Dene · Jan 1, 2008

Lol yea, it's hard to keep a conversation on such a topic all-age-suitable

. And sure, if it was a girlfriend/boyfriend I think it could potentially work very well, depending on whether that was something that would be missed. I think a professional therapist would be in a lot of trouble if they tried such therapy

This type of therapy didn't work for this person :/

Not to be insensitive, but that's kind of funny. I enjoy the occasional gaming--not computer games necessarily--but I wouldn't believe that any game should command such attention as to draw people away from what we term to be "reality". I don't even understand how that girl had such tolerance.

I don't think she has actually tried this therapy yet (just calling/talking) and with her age being 16 I don't feel comfortable recommending it to her.
It looks like her boyfriend could at least use some form of this therapy. I think it is a good thing that he is being honest to her, but his behavior is.....bad.

Stefan · Jan 4, 2008

Have you heard his version of the story?

(btw, two new episodes are up)

You'd be suprised at how real this is, I have seen people (on tv) who are completely addicted to games (WoW) so much that they drop out of school etc etc etc... I can't give an exact example, I think if you google searched you would find plenty.

No, I haven't heard his version of the story and I don't think I ever will.

Yes, two new episodes are up (about 1 in 2 days is normal) and it really looks like the therapy has helped. I think Lucas (the friend) found out about the therapy and is trying to get some too

Would anyone else like this anti-addiction therapy?
