Call a help line where you live and ask for help. There will be a person with experience in obsessive behavior to talk you off your computer.
Get outside and do some physical work like gardening. Having your hands in the earth will help you. Paint your house. Read a book outside.
Go for a walk, go jogging,. Join a club.
Are you depressed; do you hate your job? You might be on your system to avoid being elsewhere.
The important thing is that you see the problem - you are halfway there. Now turn it off and do something else!

Do you have another interest? Try exercising...it will relieve stress and will be healthy for you. Reading is also helpful. It seems like true obsession since it is affecting your work.
Honestly, addiction is not good...I heard about this Korean guy who played video games for a days straight...w/o sleeping..he died due to exhaustion..true story. Don't be like him...don't die a lame way.

I have your same problem,,not as extreme,,,,but still, a problem...as soon as I get on this computer I can't get off......what I do is as soon as I wake up I make sure not to get on the computer (thanks to my will power) instead I go for a walk around the neighborhood or do something that equally entertains my mind...I hope you get over this obsession
GOOD LUCk
