I think the security of feeling like you are in control helps you get through the day? None of us are actually in control but knowing as much as possible helps you feel better. Why would you want to quit that? It's like an addiction.

If you are really tired of your behavior, wish you could be different, more relaxed and not have to spend so much time snooping instead of living, I'd see a therapist for my anxiety or, wipe all my hard drives, phones, etc. and start over with just my own stuff on there, not all that other junk.
