I get online first thing in the morning, during breakfast. When I get home, I get online. When im away from the net doing things I enjoy..I don't care about the net.

Just make yourself leave your computer off for a weekend of a few days a week. That way when you are home, you don't have the automatic access to it. It may be hard at first, but I'm sure you'll come to appreciate other things that replace it. Think of you wife and kids, too. They must think you are some sort of heartless bastard to care more about your computer than them.

If I don't have anything to do, then I sit on the internet. As soon as something comes up, i'm gone. So no, i'd say i'm not addicted.
