Default Suffering from "can't quit hiking syndrome" help please

I have always had an issue with hiking further than planned. I thought with age this would subside, but alas it has only gotten worse. I am always taking off on a short 10 minute hikes, and next thing I know I am several miles, a couple thousand feet, and in a different ecosystem from winceI started. I have a problem with turning around, I always want to see what is over the next ridge, or around the next bend, whether hunting, hiking, or for whatever excuse finds me in the woods. When I am on a planned hike I always have my pack and safety gear with me. I worry about getting into trouble on my accidental hikes, where I plan on only going a couple hundred yards, so I leave my gear, but then several hours later find myself still walking. Does anyone else suffer from this condition, any remedies??? Please help.
