SmeejDad Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone, My names Dan and I’m a gameaholic, it’s been 6 days since my last sesh. I’ve been gaming since I was old enough to hold a controller, and now in my mid-30’s with two young daughters and my marriage on the brink, I decided it was time to accept that I have a gaming addiction. Accepting that as truth has taken me nearly 10 years, it always used to be a regulated habit but over the last decade it’s become an obsession. I sold my Switch and all my games earlier this week, big moment! My question is; should I stop watching videos about gaming too? I haven’t been playing but have found myself watching videos about gaming on YouTube, but is this not really quitting as I’m still thinking about gaming? Interested in peoples thoughts. Before I quite gaming, I was a massive RPG fan with notable favourites such as Skyrim, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Legend of Zelda, Fable, and Mass Effect - as well as my all time favourite KOTOR 1 & 2. I will miss playing these games but ultimately I’ve already given them too much of my life, there’s so much more out there. Anyway, great to be here - looking forward to contributing and following everyone’s journey! Game Quitters For Life!
