I believe my husband is addicted. We set a timer for him so he still gets to game everyday, but it's not taking over his life. Have you tried taking care of all your responsibilities first, before playing the game? Like, when you get home from work clean the house, fix something, exercise, cook, etc. Then, when everything else is finished, play the game until a set time and then go to bed. If he stays busy with responsibilities, he doesn't play as long. It doesn't stop him from playing all together, but it's better than nothing.

I have found that you need to really focus on what gaming is doing to your life in the long term. Short term entertainment... a few hours of lost sleep, getting stuck in "gaming mode," all of these things add up. False relationships, etc... Over time it will eat the years of your life away.

You will wake up minus 5 or 10 years with no personal growth, no life, nothing gained.

Once I saw how gaming was negatively impacting my life I started focusing on relationships. The time gaming consumes, and the thought cycles are far better invested in relationships with real people. After that your physical health and well being... take up exercise and real sports. Real sports have a way of entertaining the mind like gaming, but come with many more positive net gains.

Gaming is a black hole.

Lonebuck is right I started gaming in 2003 and I've wasted days maybe even years of my life playing and for what, achievements on a linear lvl that no one knows about and when the game is to old is forgotten, it was fun but in my real life what did I do. I think if your gaming alot its underlying something else, I was abused as a kid and gaming was an outlet but really it is just a false outlet. If you put things in perspective like log your gaming time or just talk with friends or do something free with friends then your better off, board games or something else.

I'm Old School, just being aware of my breathing is entertaining to me. Feeling its expansion and contraction as I inhale and exhale is truly an amazing experience when we allow our mind to notice it. Being outside in Nature can enhance our senses as well. Focusing on Breath takes practice, but Everything we do relates with How we Breathe....
