find other passtimes- preferably physical. Entertain yourself somehow though.
I have a kind of internet addiction myself- every single time I get curious about something, I run to my laptop (if it's not already in my lap) and do extensive research. I guess most of this information isn't really necessary since I've lived without the internet for so long. Everyone has, really. So whenever you feel the need to go to the web for something, think of an alternative.

All habits are hard to break. You must simply decide what is best for you and hold firmly to the behavior that goes with that decision. Take one day at a time and you will accomplish what you desire - if you don't give up. It won't be easy but you can make it if that is what you truly want to do.

Practice some sport like hiking or tennis or just jogging, go fishing, go dancing, live an outdoor life, you´ll see there is much much more to do outside too.

Use a common kitchen timer if you want to try partial.
end every # of conversation with NAME - IA, even if in silence. Alcoholics use it. I've found it helpful as a porn addict.

Don't fight it, go with the flow and sooner or later you'll find yourself getting bored with it.
