Something similar has happened to me during last 6 months... but 10 years - man, you are in your own category. The biggest issue is that after a while you get used to that time wasting, you simply start living like that.

The only thing that I can advise (and that helped me a bit) is to make a change, ANY change. Even picking something addictive like http://na.leagueoflegends.com and playing it helps if you make a __realistic__ goal (I'll get to XX elo) and then follow up to getting to that point. Satisfaction mostly comes from making the goals you set and probably your biggest problem was that you had no motivation even to set the goals (that's why I suggested something addictive in which it'll be easy to get motivation for goal setting).

I'm 37, picked up League of Legends last year, totally addicted. But I find the mental exercise involved with playing is worth the time invested. Plus, it's fun to play with the surprising amount of my friends who also play. I second the recommendation to pick up the LoL addiction.
