Live life and express yourself.
2 years ago I was very addicted to playing video games. I would spend 4 hours each day playing games and the whole day thinking about it.
At some point I became very addicted to gaming, and started to give money to it. At got so far that I had spend around 7000 euros to gaming over the years. Because I always wanted to be the best in video games. Also due to my gaming addiction I got 2 years behind on school. 2 years ago I decided to make a change, I quit games and gave away all my consoles.
I actually had a lot of relapses because I had still installized games on my computer and I still played games at my friends place.
How did I overcame video game addiction?
It is very easy, you just have to follow the 3 steps.
1. Deinstallize / Delete all your games and sell your consoles. (Selling will give you some extra money to do other stuff.)
2. Replace your addiction by a healthy habbit.
3. Stick to this for at least 30-60 days. Then it will become a habbit and take less willpower.
This sounds easy but it will take a lot of willpower when you are bored. You got to be strong when the urge is the greatest. But you can do this.
"If you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
Stick to do and I promise you, it will get better and you will not be stuck with your addictions.
Keep it up. PEACE
