Though internet addiction is an easy thing to get into, it is hard to get out of it. Given here are a few ways by which you can get rid of internet addiction. 

Set The Time
When you realize that you are going far too much in using the internet, you need to discipline yourself. You can keep an alarm set for the time you are supposed to use the internet. You should be determined enough to close the internet once the alarm rings. It might seem like a childish decision, it would go a long way in helping you get rid of internet addiction. 

Immerse Yourself In Household Chores
There would be too many things that you have left unnoticed because you preferred to sit in front of the PC. Try something that will control your addiction and will prove to be a helping hand to your spouse or parents like arranging your closet, washing your clothes, cooking. The idea is to indulge in something that takes your mind and thoughts away from internet. 

Watch Television
Spend some time in front of the idiot box. Watch something that you are interested in. However, you can avoid the ‘tearful daily soaps’. Nevertheless, other than that, surf through music channels or some sort of other entertainment channels that keep your mind occupied. 

Catch Up With Friends
One of the main symptoms of addiction is to get secluded from the rest of the world. It must be some time since you caught up with your friends. Gather your group for some simple chatting or spending some nice time. You will soon realize you have missed some of your good days sitting in front of your PC. 

Take A Walk
Next time you fancy surfing, take a walk, and get a breath of fresh air. This should continue until you come out of the urge of sitting in front of your computer. 

Find New Interests
Learn something new or entertain yourself with some other interests like try taking guitar lessons or foreign language lessons. You can also acquire some art and craft lessons or even indulge yourself in gardening. 

Work First
Think about the pending work and try to complete it before you put your hands on the computer keyboard. 

Cancel The Connection
If the internet is chewing your head badly, try this, just cancel the connection, and utilize the café near you if a matter of urgency comes.
