  1. Hi y'all! I'm Luna :). I'm a 29 year old former gamer girl. I've been off games for about 4 months now and I'm also in recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction, 19 months clean. Recovering from drugs taught me that games were just as powerful an addiction in my life as drugs. After a big LoL binge, it reminded me of doing a lot of cocaine. I knew that this was a problem and I had to stop it. Happy to be a part of the community and join in on supporting everyone in a betterness without the shackles of active addiction. Hoping to share what I have learned and learn all sorts of new things from all of y'all.
  2. Welcome and good luck! We're all here to support you in your recovery from video games 🙂
  3. These aren't only friends. These are co-addicts. And they are tough to shake. We have a limited capacity to how many friendships we can have, and a more limited capacity for best friends. This is simply because continuing to cultivate the relationship takes time. Good friends don't threaten you for not doing what they want you to do. This is abusive and manipulative behavior. Gamer friends aren't really unique. The only thing that ties most of you together is the video game. Take that away, and what's left? Not much. Friendships are tough to lose out on. It's especially hard because in the wake of COVID, it's especially hard to get out in the real world and make those real connections that matter. Ask your friends for time on a Zoom call instead time on video games. You'll quickly find out who your real friends are.
