How do I quit browsing 4chan & reddit habitually? I was addicted to coke and that was easier to quit.

I'm a freelance programmer and I'm missing deadlines because I'm just fucking glued to these sites. There's good info in some threads, so I'd be okay with an hour or two a week, but right now it's 6 hours a day.

I started browsing in 2007 when I was 10, as a substitute for a social life.

Now i'm basically a normie and have a healthy & complete life, except for how much time I spend here. It feels like my brain is 'wired' for this place; if I'm in front of a screen I won't even notice I've switched to browsing from working until an hour has gone by. It's the same subconscious urge as drugs, except even stronger.

I can't talk to anyone about it because I don't want my past drug abuse on my medical/psych record (I hid it very well; clean for 4 years now). Also, no one takes social media addiction seriously.

You could use a wind-up timer and a "set schedule".

Don't plant your ass when you browse. It's too easy to go into "alpha state". Walk, if you have a laptop, or at least stand. There are also mini-exercise-bikes that might be useful. When you get tired, then stop browsing.

For every fifteen minutes you browse, you have to do fifteen minutes of physical activity—jump rope, sit-ups, jogging, etc. Worst case-you'll associate browsing with exertion; best case-you'll get a sexy bod.

See, i just can't focus on serious work if i'm walking or cycling. Often, I sit to work, work for a while, then all of a sudden I realize I've been browsing for an hour.

Already have sexy bod from 2 hours of calisthenics every other morning.

I wish I knew. I can relate. I tried blocking myself from these sites, but I'd open a different browser or computer/phone. Then I tried cold turkey no internet, but I just stared into space instead of working. Useless bump for you fampai.
