Can anyone recommend a way to try to cut down on my Linux usage?

Since I've switch to Ubuntu I've started neglecting my studies, my work, and my family and friends. I've even started neglecting my TV watching responsibilities!

Crack cocain, meth amphetamenes, and heroin all have NOTHIN' on linux!

I've tried just using less, but as soon as I get over the withdrawl pains I get an e-mail and I'm sucked right back in.

It's starting to get serious in the city where I live - if you go downtown you no longer see skeezy hookers and drug addicts wandering around looking for a score - they've all been replaced by linux geeks, malnourished from not having made it away from the screen to get a bowl of cereal for days upon days, crawling the streets asking everyone they see, "Hey buddy - got a Debian package? C'mon - I know you're holding! I'll compile it myself maaaaaan, quit holding out on me!"

City council has started putting tax money towards dealing with the issue as it's interfering with local business (complaints all seem to be from retailers selling Microsoft products)...

Realize that your computer is tool and not a religion?
