Magic, I don't have any quick fixes for you but I can surely relate. I can't even read a book w/o having to get through the thing as fast as possible even if it means reading non stop for a couple of days. Painting, drawing, cleaning, shopping, and the list goes on...What has helped me is to carefully select what I am willing to put my time into because I know I'm going to be super obsessive about it. For example a good investment of my time is my job. I am surely one of the hardest workers there, not even stopping for a food or potty break. By the time I get home I'm too tired to get into to much other stuff. Bad investment of my time, checking out some games on my IPhone during my vacation and was hooked instantly. Took me several weeks and many wasted hours to quit cold turkey. I jut try to make very deliberate choices now. Not a cure all but it has helped me.
