I have the same issue here. My addiction migrated from playing video games to watching youtube (maybe not really gameplays but still it somehow gaming related: like game theory, trivia, oddshots from twitch). IMHO it is step forward. It's like giving up heroin for smoking marihuana. Yes, marijuana is still destructive to you but definitely not as much as heroin. It's also much easier to control doses or just completely abandon this addiction (cmone, you probably don't watch youtube all night like you did playing video games ) Don't beat yourself up. You made a progress in not playing video games and you should be happy about, don't doubt it with "does it count or not". It counts! You don't play for over a month. Now you need to realize (you already did) what's your next step in becoming a better version of yourself. Giving up a youtube/twitch! It will be much easier than quitting video games. Wish you all best
