So your challenge is you just want to quit browsing too much time in internet? right?

Because as per your post you read books, practice driving, you have a part time job and you go out on weekends so your life is not centralized in internet.

i would like to share what i've done when i finally stop my smoking habit. like you i am not a type of guy who has nothing to do or addicted on nicotine on those time its just hard for me to drag my self away on smoking so what i did is i find a substitute to my bad habit. I think you already tried this you find another things to do to substitute on browsing internet and this is learning to play guitar but still you cant drag your self away on browsing the net same on my situation before that i tried to take candy or chocolate instead of cigars but still i am going back on smoking again so i find another substitute or alternative and i tried different fruits, candies and juice it still not effective until i finally found what i want to replaced on my bad habit and this is listening to music (to my nokia cellphone) or sleeping.

also like Gayathri advice you can just remove your internet connection to your computer, take the BOLD approach like what i did before i throw away all of my things that are connected on smoking like zippo lighter, fluid and my cigarett collection its really hard for me to do that and my concience is telling me that "are you nuts? you will just going waist money" well yeah its true i will waist money but this is for the investment of my great future i will choose to loose my money by throwing away the box of cigarett rather than paying therapy for the medication on lungs cancer.

The reason i think why you cant replace your internet browsing by other activities is because the activity that you choose is not that interesting to you. find more things that really make you interested and challenging if you still going back on browsing the net it means you must find again until you find what makes you interested. It will be a weird alternative or a very different idea like what i expirience imagine from chocolate, juice and candies i become satisfied on choosing to listening music or sleeping.

Hope this help.
