Steps
1. Try your best to find another interest or hobby to keep your mind off the Twilight world. You could even, perhaps, create your own little club for people, like you, who are trying to overcome their obsession. Have meetings at school lunchbreaks, or after school. Just talk with everyone, as a group and do some group activities that don't relate to Twilight. I realise this is not as serious as, say, an alcohol addiction, but it's still important to have the support.
2. Reduce the time you spend online searching anything Twilight related. If you just can't help typing in "Twilight" everytime you go on Google, then don't go online at all. At least not until your obsession starts to fade and, in the meantime, only use the internet for, say, project research.
3. Hide your Twilight books for a while to keep yourself from re-reading them. As they say, "Out of sight, out of mind". Have a look through your bookshelf for a different book series. In keeping to the fantasy theme, you could read Narnia or Harry Potter. That should keep you from reading Twilight again for a fair while.
4. Ask your friends to, please, try not to talk about Twilight around you, so that you don't have a chance to talk about it yourself. Because it'll only set fire to the fuel of your obsession. You could end up getting sucked back into the Twilight craze, just by talking about it.
5. Avoid buying magazines with any of the cast in them. You know that seeing a photo of Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson will only remind you of the Bella Swan that you wished to be, or the Edward Cullen that you fell in love with.
6. Just persevere for as long as you have to and you will defeat your obsession - trust me, I know. I went through the same addiction. You just need to keep reminding yourself that, no matter how amazing they may be and how much you dream of finding one, vampires like Edward do not exist. There is no point in sitting on your bed at night, staring out your window, waiting for Edward Cullen to creep in. It just won't happen, because every single Twilight character is a fictional person. Now, you don't have to end up hating Twilight. It is possible to, like I did, change your whole view on Twilight by turning it into something you simply enjoy reading, just like any other fantasy book. Make sure you don't get so drawn in that you end up believing every word. It is purely fictional. Remember that.
