I've gone up to 4:00 AM playing the game.... probably because I started a game late as it was.... usually never goes beyond that.
If you are consistently doing this, you need to uninstall the game and take a break. Not saying break the CD, but uninstall the game and simply move on to something else. When you have more time on your hands, reinstall it and get a fresh flavor considering it will be patched and more content will be available. But you have to give it several months before going back to it so wait until your school year is over if you are still a student. If you are an adult, then you really have no excuses.
I had to uninstall Star Craft because of this. My play had leveled and there was no use continuing unless I wanted to go pro. Never came back to it although I probably will once the expansion comes out. I never got into WoW thankfully. I don't play console games either because I get migraines after a couple of hours of that stuff.
Civilization is one of those games, but right now, I have exhausted it every bit. There is no use continuing until they make significant upgrades to the game. If the game is not doing it for you anymore, there is no reason to continue.
Just wait for a day when you are really frustrated and angry about something and direct that anger at your addiction instead of using the addiction to forget about your issues. You will feel better and many times in my experience, you won't look back once you delete it.
