I've been seriously addicted to the internet for years now. It seems to get worse as time goes on. Sometimes I can step away from the screen for a day or so, but I spend more time catching up the very next day. Sometimes I spend almost the entire day, and most of the night visiting websites and forums with constantly changing information about subjects I'm interested in, or has post on topics I care about. I just can't seem to get away... my head hurts... I'm not getting enough work done.

the way to wean your self is to set a timer - get something done in the next hour and then reward yourself with 15 min computer time. start slowly then build up two work /other things but no more that 15 each time on the computer.

Wean yourself off slowly.
Get rid of your favorites folders so you have to put a lot of effort into getting back to them when you want them.
Unplug your computer.
Get rid of the Internet in your home. You can go to a public location for it so you will have to reduce your usage and you will have 1 less bill.
Seek professional help...like a support group or something.
Good Luck.

Keep computer away from your sight and create the habit of reading and taking a walk once in a while down the street.

Sell the computer, and buy a bike or something else you like to do.

Go back to the hard drugs, like heroin. Then your head won't hurt so bad.
