The Addiction Help .com

I have been playing a game for 5-6 years and i am completely addicted to the game but i cant stop. This addiction is completely taking over my life and i am losing most of my friends from it. i have met to many great online friends to just "quit" but if i dont do something quick i will have no real life friends. so i need people to give me advice and help me please!

Un-install it from your computer and spend time doing something else that you may enjoy such as cooking, going to a theme park, etc.

If you like real life action, try paintballing or something of the sort. You'll have more fun that way anyways.

Get off your couch! Think of it this way - if you don't, your fat is going to keep building up and you'll be just like garfield but worse. at least garfield walks around once in a while and talks to the dog. a real life friend.

BTW: online friends are almost always useless. You DON'T need them. There is nothing you can do with them that you can't do with real life friends. And guess what? With real life friends, you can actually get some fresh air going somewhere.

Caution I say a few naught words int his one while exploring the gaming world views. Otherwise, it is topical exploration into the dual reality ...

I want to do more productive stuff other than gaming and the computer , it seems my biggest problem when it comes to socializing is that i rather pick up the controller rather than hanging out with my friends. Is there anyway to stop this addiction? I just can't stop playing my ps3.

Hey friend, there's no quick and easy way about doing this. I know that feeling. What I'll do to curb a craving is to play a sport or try other activities. I still play games a lot, however my time is spread across the basketball team, college work, chilling with friends etc. Try and preoccupy yourself.You dont have to stop straight away (doesnt really help), play ps3 with your friends if that helps. I'm no expert - hope this helps.

My boyfriend plays alot of his computer game (10 hours a day, approx.) And i was wondering if theres any actual symptoms of the video game addiction? If so, what are they, besides the obvious, of playing alot, and neglecting houswork/school work, any others? Thanks!
he did quit his job about a month ago.... (a day before his game came out) but he goes to school at night time, but he normally doesnt go to all of them... only one or two of them and then comes home.

10 hours a day sounds a bit extreme. only other ones i can think of is neglect to family and friends, everyday activities such as bathing and eating, and not working or doing school, or any work for that matter by choosing to play the game instead. damn. tell him "Playing video games wont feed our future baby!" lol jk. tell him to get a job as a video game tester. he'll love that and it pays up to 80 an hour!

I friends that are addicted to computer games. They play 6-8 hours a day. What can I do to help them? What can society do as a whole to fix this growing problem?

They will usually outplay it because it is probably a new game. But if it's not and has been going on for a while ask them if they want to go to the movies or tell them straight to their face that they play too much and should hang out more. It will work
