It is difficult to stop this but I wish you have the strength to solve this problem. Here you have received interesting replies that could be useful
I'm definitely internet addicted. I've had to install a block on my computer that only allows me a certain amount of time on the internet, and blocks the problematic sites for me. I've made myself some cards that say five reasons I go on the internet (no surprise all five have to do with not feeling something) five reasons going on the internet isn't good for me, my activities I can do instead of being on the internet.

When I'm desperate, I actually drive to town, (ten miles) to get on the community computers at the library.

It's better than what I used to do, which is be on the internet all day long, seven days a week.
