Addiction Game Overcoming

I can see a person getting addicted to the internet and gaming but I do not see how kids that age were not able to make sure the pets were fed and watered. I do not understand why they could not heat themselves up some food or eat sandwiches. I guess I do not understand how some of this happened. I am sure the kids are better off for now. I hope their mom gets some help and is soon reunited with her kids.

I used to play Everquest for god awful amounts of time about 8 years ago, I think a lot of it was to kind of glaze over the fact that I was at least mildly depressed form getting laid off and didn't know how to handle it. I don't play games nearly as much as I used to but I also have a wife and 2 young boys and a pretty busy life so I don't generally have the time that I used too either. I wish I could dedicate more time to gaming in general, whether its playing Mtgo or paper, Settlers of Catan or any of my Xbox 360 games.

Addiction Game Overcoming

I would say I am some what of an addict, but like many others it depends on the game. I usually spend hours on sports game like NBA 2K or any Fifa game. I love playing the franchise mode and to be in control of the team finance and other miscellaneous things that go with being a general manager. I mean its so realistic to the basic points of course, but realistic enough for me to get lost into a world of my own. Last game I played was the latest Final Fantasy game for the PS 3 and I stayed up for 2 days straight just playing that game. I'm addicted to the games that are fun to me.

Overcoming Game Addiction

I would say I was addicted to gaming but now I'm almost cured I think. They are all so boring now. I need something a bit more engaging and less graphical I want to see things in my mind not on screen. I would play so much I ignored everybody and everything and wouldn't keep up hygiene even. A friend called me on it once but since then I hardly ever play anymore. I like forum games such as the rpg I'm hoping to play here. It's just not that interesting anymore.

The most important way to get rid of a game addiction is to have closure on it, it's similar to when a late relative of yours passes away, you need to give time away from it. There is a difference from liking the game to being addicted to the game. The main trait of being addicted is wanting to do nothing else except play the game all-day long instead of eating, sleeping, or normal human behaviors.
