hi happy cheeks, what works for me is to develop other things to do-like a hobby, reading, going out with friends, etc. another thing that seems to help is by my not allowing myself to surrender to the urges of addiction. it's not easy but it has helped me a lot. i'm 21 years sober now and in my case with alcohol i had to practice complete abstinence. however other things like internet addiction may be like doing it in moderation. try setting a timer for how long you are online and stick to it. that may help you.
