If you want to stop an addiction, any addiction, I would always suggest counseling. If you don't want to go that far, I would suggest giving yourself blocks of time in which you are not going to write and are going to think about something besides writing. If you slip up and think about it, that's fine, but redirect yourself back to whatever else it is. It's like meditation - ground yourself in the present moment. Then you can write at all the other times.

I know a lot of people will say that you are very lucky. But if you think you have a problem, then you have a problem. You are allowed to define what isn't working in your life, what is making you unhappy.

Maybe you only think it's an issue because you "should" be doing other things, like original stories. If so, then who defines "should"?

Again, figure out if you're unhappy, or if you think you should be unhappy. And if you do need to make a change, remember that it takes little steps to get away from any habit or addiction.

OP: Given what you've said in above comments, counseling and boundaries for the win. And it's okay to be addicted to something that is generally considered good. I have a coworker who struggles with addiction to exercise. Being in shape is awesome! Having it take over your life to an unhealthy degree is not!

[dancing_clown]

No. It's not "okay to b addicted to something that is generally considered good." In excess, exercise is just as dangerous a purge method as vomiting and laxatives.

Sorry, that was ill put. Addiction is bad, even when to presumably good things. She or he is still suffering from something real and needs help. And that doesn't mean that she or he is any more messed up than anyone else suffering from an addiction. You are right, and that was my point, but it was unclear. Addiction is addiction is unhealthy.
