lemme offer my puny 2 cents on this issue:
i decided to tackle the matter of discipline/self-control BEFORE i started playing poker.
so, about a year ago, when i decided id learn the rules of NLHE and indulge in it, i went to my local best buy and got a cheapo, but decent, poker sim software, and started plugging at it in all kinds of setups and situations.
particularly, i practiced with a short stack, after intentionally dropping a chunk of my chips early on in a simulated tourney. precisely to learn not to tilt and control myself.
after a couple of months of the above, i felt comfortable enough to slowly start playing online against other, real, ppl.
