    I would recommend giving Ez Internet Timer a try. It's a very simple and easy program with options that allow a parent to select how much control they want over their child's computer. I use for my kid because my kid gets on the internet the minute she gets home. It can stop all on-line activity and block Internet browsers, e-mails, ftps or messengers according to my daily schedule. You can find it here: http://www.internettimer.net

    Asking people on AB how to quit internet addiction is like asking people with a cataclismic case of diareha how to stop shitting.

    I think the only way would be to move out to Amish country.

    you need to find another Hobie if this bothers you that much.
    or maybe this:
    1. http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/
    2. Shutdown Utilities
    3. PC Sleep

    step one is the web site
    step two is the category
    step there is the program

    which is a program that shuts down PC at a certain time and makes it a little easier for you to get up and go do something else.

    Find something else to do. Join a club. Go to a gym. Make plans. Keep them.

    You can't, I've tried and failed many times. I suppose you could limit yourself only to doing things that are useful to you.

    But really, is the internet that bad?

    I am on the net all night at work so I don't really want to be on it when i am home. It works and I get paid for my addiction. Soooo my answer would be get a job where you can play online :)

    Realise that the internet doesn't really get you anything that you want. Like smoking, sort of.
