How can I cure myself of Internet Addiction?

Question:

I've been seriously addicted to the internet for years now. It seems to get worse as time goes on. Sometimes I can step away from the screen for a day or so, but I spend more time catching up the very next day. Sometimes I spend almost the entire day, and most of the night visiting websites and forums with constantly changing information about subjects I'm interested in, or has post on topics I care about. I just can't seem to get away. my head hurts. I'm not getting enough work done.

the way to wean your self is to set a timer - get something done in the next hour and then reward yourself with 15 min computer time. start slowly then build up two work /other things but no more that 15 each time on the computer.
