Like some of these other guys said: 1) you have to make a decision (which it seems you have, or at least are trying to), and 2) you need to put some distance between you and the issue.
What I've found in my life, though, is to really achieve separation it also took accountability and replacement.
I know with me, I'm really good at hiding things and no one, not even my best friends and roommates, knew of some of the crap that was going on. That is until I finally had enough and talked to a couple of them that I knew really had my best interests at heart.
These aren't the type of guys who will pat me on the back and tell me everything will be okay. They're the type who will ask tough questions and kick my tail if I need it kicked. Part of it, though, is that I have to be absolutely honest with them.
And then, like anything, if you're trying to kick it but are just sitting around playing on the computer/watching tv/goofing off/something else without much substance when you're most prone to be tempted, then it's easier to slip back in. But if you replace that activity with something else that brings more to life, it makes it harder for you to "make time" to slip away.
