How To Get Rid Of A Video Game Addiction by kiiu(f): 9:09am On Aug 11, 2020
From when I was a mere child to my mid-teens, I used to play video games.

From Pac-man and Pokemon and Mario to Grand Theft Auto Vice City and San Andreas and Final Fantasy X – you name it, I’ve probably played it.

I was a typical gamer kid – go to school, come back, play video games – usually alone, but occasionally with friends, and then go to sleep.

Rinse and repeat.

When I was 14, I thought this was the life.

I figured, when I grew older, I’d be playing video games. In fact, I thought I’d have more time to play video games because there would be no one to stop me.

Fortunately, as I got older, I became busy with other aspects of my life and “forgot about” video games.

That being said, I have some old friends from that time who still play video games in almost all of their free time – when they’re not at work and when they’re not mindlessly watching some or the other TV show.

And not just them – there are a lot of young men like this. The male version of “cat lady”.

No hobbies, no interests, no personal growth – nothing but high scores in various games.

With the dawn of games like DotA – the e-cocaine of games – the ones that have no story, no plot, and no end; you start playing one match, then another, then another – I’ve seen people sink in thousands of hours into video games.


Life is not a dress rehearsal – there is no reset button.

Video game addiction is a serious topic that is destroying many young men and needs to be talked about, but if often ignored (just like its victims) or just humorously dismissed.

Often, I receive private messages from men who tell me that their lives are being destroyed stolen by porn and video games.



Step 1: Delete The Games
This is a simple step – just delete all the games on your computer.

If you play online games, delete your accounts.

Delete everything – your save files, your steam account, and block the websites.

If you don’t have them, you can’t play them.

Step 2: Get Rid of The Console
If you have a gaming console, say a PS2 or whatever, sell it or give it away. Read more : https:///3ks6aHL
