IS H.A. FOR YOU?
Only you can decide whether you want to give H.A. a try —whether you think it can help you.
We who are in H.A. came because we finally gave up trying to control our hacking. We still hated to admit that we could never hack safely. Then we heard from other H.A. members that we were sick. (We thought so for years!) We found out that many people suffered from the same feelings of guilt and loneliness and hopelessness that we did. We found out that we had these feelings because we had the disease of curiosity.We decided to try and face up to what hacks had done to us. Here are some of the questions we tried to answer honestly:
1 - Have you ever decided to stop hacking for a week or so, but only lasted for a couple of days?
Most of us in H.A. made all kinds of promises to ourselves and to our families. We could not keep them. Then we came to H.A. H.A. said: "Just try not to hack today." (If you do not hack today, you cannot get hacked today.
2 - Do you wish people would mind their own business about your hacking-- stop telling you what to do?
In H.A. we do not tell anyone to do anything. We just talk about our own hacking, the trouble we got into, and how we stopped. We will be glad to help you, if you want us to.
3 - Have you ever switched from one kind of hack to another in the hope that this would keep you from getting hacked?
We tried all kinds of ways. We made our hacks weak. Or just hacked games. Or we did not hack electronics. Or only hacked on weekends. You name it, we tried it. But if we hack anything with wires in it, we usually got hooked eventually.
4 - Have you had to have an eye-opener upon awakening during the past year?
Do you need a hack to get started, or to stop shaking? This is a pretty sure sign that you are not hacking "socially."
5 - Do you envy people who can hack without getting into trouble?
At one time or another, most of us have wondered why we were not like most people, who really can take it or leave it.
6 - Have you had problems connected with hacking during the past year?
Be honest! Doctors say that if you have a problem with computers and keep on hacking, it will get worse -- never better. Eventually, you will die, or end up in an institution for the rest of your life. The only hope is to stop hacking.
7 - Has your hacking caused trouble at home?
Before we came into H.A., most of us said that it was the people or problems at home that made us hack. We could not see that our hacking just made everything worse. It never solved problems anywhere or anytime.
8 - Do you ever try to get "extra" hacks at a party because you do not get enough?
Most of us used to have a "few" before we started out if we thought it was going to be that kind of party. And if hacks were not served fast enough, we would go some place else to get more.
9 - Do you tell yourself you can stop hacking any time you want to, even though you keep getting hacked when you don't mean to?
Many of us kidded ourselves into thinking that we hacked because we wanted to. After we came into H.A., we found out that once we started to hack, we couldn't stop.
10 - Have you missed days of work or school because of hacking?
Many of us admit now that we "called in sick" lots of times when the truth was that we were hung-over or on a hack.
11 - Do you have "blackouts"?
A "blackout" is when we have been hacking hours or days which we cannot remember. When we came to H.A., we found out that this is a pretty sure sign of epic hacking.
12 - Have you ever felt that your life would be better if you did not hack?
Many of us started to hack because hacking made life seem better, at least for a while. By the time we got into H.A., we felt trapped. We were hacking to live and living to hack. We were sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Did you answer YES four or more times? If so, you are probably in trouble with computers. Why do we say this? Because thousands of people in H.A. have said so for many years. They found out the truth about themselves — the hard way. But again, only you can decide whether you think H.A. is for you. Try to keep an open mind on the subject. If the answer is YES, we will be glad to show you how we stopped hacking ourselves. Just call. H.A. does not promise to solve your life's problems. But we can show you how we are learning to live without hacking "one day at a time." We stay away from that "first hack." If there is no first one, there cannot be a tenth one. And when we got rid of computers, we found that life became much more manageable.
