I love video games. i own well over 1000 games i never really considered it a prob but latly i have been wondering if maybe i have a problem when i go to the local thrift store if they have a game there that is cheap that looks even mildly interesting i buy it i was collecting atari 2600 games becuase i wanted to own every one ever made. i dunno as a kid life sucked and video games were always there to take me to another world. ya know i could play sonic or mario an the sucky stuff in life would go away for awile. my wife doesnt mind me buying games i dont spend alot on them maybe 5 bucks a payday. i love playings games i feel like i cant give up playing them all together. there are times that i do other stuff an dont need the gamesbut then i always come back to them when im at work i hate it i just want to go home an play video games. mind you i love other stuff i love spending time with my wife doing other stuff but i also love games always have. i grew up poor my family was poor didn ever have enough money. moved all the time. i dont want the kids i have one day to be like this i dont want them to have to always play one more game always have to beat one more level. on the same note i dont want to give up games all together. i am just really confused right now. so in closing i think i maybe have a lil problem

sparxxraps, only you can really decide whether or not you have a problem. It does not sound like it is a major issue for you yet, but you do have some trouble controlling your behaviour. If you want to get help with that, I recommend that you read through the other posts here plus check out other sites that provide support for reducing or stopping the excessive playing of video games.

if you think you have a problem, you probably do. If you have a wife and kids, you need to do what is best for them. Ask your wife what she thinks about the issue. Do you ignore the kids to game? My DH does and it's horrible. We all come second to the gaming and it is affecting me and our kids mentally/emotionally. It will leave permanent scars. You can break the cycle.
