Addicted to youtube, vids and media

I'm an addict, from youtube to radio, to TV to those small cute or funny clips which pop up on my FB feed. It is a combination of addiction and procrastination. I can sit for hours just watching cute cats, dogs or minutes of repeated fails. Then there are the instant Karma videos, street food videos and amateur comedy clips. They take up hours of time which could be used doing something else instead. Yet I don't want to be studying, I'm being passive and enjoying procrastination of the internet side. My partner knows this and ensures I'm set up with tasks to do, which usually take hours and hours and mean I have to show something from the time spent rather than a flat bum sitting on a seat or an increased utility bill from sitting close to the fire. I know this is not good and I know a lot of time is wasted. In effort to try and stop this I then do write up review of things related to work or which interest me. Items for my own self and good. However, within half an hour or so before realising it I am then drawn back to FB to see how my soldiers have done in an online game. One which requires a minimum of logging in twice a day. What is happening why is this internet taking such control over me. I feed my brain with passive chair sitting and engagement in entertainment and can't find a way out. It means I am truly an addict.

Help!
