OP, read my best seller "How to Stop Playing Chess and Influence Women"
Never quit! You must forge ahead!
Quit chess?! I'd rather kick a fully-grown male grizzly bear in the nuts. Or slap a grizzly bear cub in the face whilst its mother watches...

Addictiveness comes from unpredictable rewards, so if you want to end your chess addiction get an engine like Rybka 4 and play it at its hardest difficulty setting. Don't play a human again until you can beat the Rybka engine on this hardest setting. Rybka will consistently beat you and eventually your memory of those unpredictable rewards from when you were playing humans will fade and the addiction will stop.
This is very good advice. Do it. Another way to quit quickly is EVERY TIME you play a chess game you are REQUIRED to mail $10.00 to me. Address: P.O. Box 1234 Cracker Nut, OK 73020. We can set up a Pay Pal account, but that will make it less painful to pay me and more difficult for you to quit. As you can see, I have your best interests in mind.

i only want one day to rather focus more on business than chess, but why quit chess you can just reduce it. Its like sport its healthy to think...
chess is your friend, its good for your brain i believe.
their have been scientific studies that show a routine where you get not enough new impulses actually harms you and chess is the guarantee you always see something new and think...

would be funny if at the end could beat rybka and become the strongest player that ever existed.
man maybe i should write a book about it. And i will call it not the chess novel but THE RYBKA NOVEL!!!
By the way i think you discovered why Bobby Fischer quit chess.
The results become predictable, he knew he could beat them all and thats why quit chess.

I thought both were incompatible ? Not that I tried either, of course.
On topic : if you really want to quit chess, the first step is to ask advice elsewhere than on a chess-nerd-full forum. In the outside world, y'know.
Chess is unimportant @ TetsuoShima.
Life is important:)

Only a chessplayer would think that having an interesting life and having a girlfriend are incompatiable. Your comment proves my point.

define life, define chess and why is it that life imitates chess?
Get to the 85th percentile. Be happy. Quit while you're winning. What are the odds (and payoffs) of reaching the 95th percentile any way?
Chess is dumb. Take up a real man's game like World of Warcraft.
