Just walk away. Set an alarm clock and daily cut down the amount of time you allow yourself. I have had to do this myself over my 20+ yrs on this box....it can become addictive and suck up much of your life.

Give your computer or modem a nice drink of beer...
Otherwise wake up to the fact that you are the one ruining your life, as you have no self control. Go out the front door and find your life, cause if you are so addicted to the internet you've probably been neglecting the real world.

Get away from the computer. Just force yourself to stay away. If you have to, leave the building. In my case, I try to take regular breaks by camping (no computers in the great outdoors!), hiking, and going to a neighborhood coffee shop or the library to read a good book. It can be hard at first, but once you get out of the cycle of depending upon the computer for entertainment then it gets easier. I've also found that spending more time reading and less time on the computer has helped my attention span.
Good luck!

Do what I did. I blocked them via my router. Or if thats not possible just don't even turn on the computer. Or if you must be on for school have a friend or family member watch you to make sure that you're doing your HW and not on those sites

Cancel your accounts, and never visit the sites again.

Disconnect from internet completely. It will be hard to do.
