Internet addiction is an out-of-control habit.

Please tell me if a native speaker would accept the following. (Please indicate: Yes/No)
- Internet addiction is a habit out-of-hand.
- Internet addiction is a habit out-of-control.
- Internet addiction is a habit without control.

Thank you.

No to all. If you said any of these things, a native speaker might understand what you were trying to say, but he or she would know that you were not a native speaker.
