Change your browser? There is research (I'd have to find it) that says addictive behavior is strongly attached to your environment.
The example I heard is that soldiers who got addicted to drugs overseas have a much better time at home if they quit before coming back - then the addiction is associated purely with where they served overseas, and not at all at home. We're talking an order of magnitude more successful.
Sadly, I don't remember many details - so take the above with a grain of salt. I think the above was in relation to vietnam, but I'm not sure.
Edit: You could probably do a lot with this - you could change your broswer theme, get a plugin that applies a theme to websites, switch up your desk layout, move your desk area, etc.
