ITAA Three Circles

Internet and Technology Addiction Anonymous | The Three Circles

Bottom Line Behaviors: Behaviors that when an individual is engaged in, leads to worsening self-destructive consequences.
Mid Line Behaviors: Behaviors that are much less detrimental and thus, weaker in intensity. However, these behaviors tend to lead an individual that is addicted to a specific item, back to his or her bottom line. This line represents possible “red-light” behaviors that may or may not be acceptable, thus this will depend on his or her state of emotional and/or mental health.
Top Line Behaviors: Behaviors meant to prevent taking part in an activity or thought that may trigger a slip, relapse, lapse or excessive use.
