Answer 1

My friend had this problem. We got a solution that worked well for him: I put a timeout program on the computer. Now, after ever 2 hours, the program will lock him out for the next 5 hours unless one of us comes over and enters a password. Seems to have kept him away.

Answer 2

disconnect your internet for a week. And see what other things you can do with your time.

Answer 3

Get a blackberry so you can take your IM with you on the road.

Answer 4

i have this problem, and i find that whenever you feel like this, just simply turn the computer off. also, it may seem a little babyish, but install a program that limits your time on the computer, such as netnanny, so it forces you to find other activities. hope this helped.

Answer 5

I was up to 3 am every night for a week when I first got my computer.

And then I settled down.  I just loved the internet.

You will get over it, too. Just give it time and enjoy it.

It is okay, really.
