I think that a good way to overcome an addiction is to get yourself addicted to something cheap and harmless. RonrunHU's interest in cactus sounds like a pretty good one. Photography, especially now that it's all digital and you don't have to pay for film and processing, can be a good one. Reading books and keeping notes on them is fun and they're free at the public libraries. Some folks are into cooking, or exercising, or learning a foreign language, or playing the guitar. I suspect that more than a few of us are into reading and writing postings on this forum.
You can even combine them. In addition to growing cactus you can make photographs of them and, after a while, come to see more and more details that you had missed before.
Alan inspired me to post these pics! Photographing their magnificent flowers is also one of my hobbies.
