My best advice for not being addicted to Everquest is to stop trying to collect anything of any type of permanence at all.
Delete your characters and re-roll and just enjoy hunting bears.
At level 17 its as hard to kill the guard captain as it is to kill the herophant at 60, and once you see no difference in item value between a hero cloak and a ogre war maul, you start to really just play the game to kill some time, rather than for the same reasons that you go to work
