No Everquest - day 1

I've decided to keep track of my progress here, both for my benefit and to provide some feedback for others.
Honestly, today has not been too bad... yet. I'm still at work, so I don't have free time yet. But I'm not really thinking too much about EQ at the moment. On the other hand, it's not that I'm NOT thinking about Everquest that bothers me... it's that I'm NOT thinking about anything productive either.
For example, I cannot get my mind to focus on reading. And I used to love reading. I read War and Peace when I was 14, and now I cannot focus on a pamphlet. I'm worried that, even though I deleted EQ, I haven't yet thought of what to fill it with.
The other issue is that, now that I've decided to go down this path, I don't want to fill it with other timesinks. My wife and I have been thinking of unplugging the TV for a while now. If I continue with other fruitless activites, am I not just substituting one evil for another. But giving several things at once is tough? or is it essential?
I realize baby steps are key, but it's like telling a recovering alcoholic that smoking is ok to do in small amounts.
