Rubke Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi all!After multiple attempts to quit playing games I've had treatment in a 12-step treatment center. I was told that being "an addict" I had to abstain from alcohol and drugs in order to stay clean and recover.I haven't used drugs or alcohol on a daily basis and can't image I ever will. I do recognize parts of myself in stories of drug addicts and alcoholics, only I turned to gaming instead of using drugs.I wonder if you decided to get clean I order to recover from gaming addiction and would I relapse when I drink alcohol or use drugs?Would be great to get your point of view on this one.Greetings from Holland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Adair Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hey! We love Holland! I personally see the "substance" you're addicted to as the one that dictates whether you relapse or not... however I personally don't drink or use drugs (only very rarely) and would recommend against drinking specifically as the first thing that goes when you drink is caution, and a lack of caution means you're vulnerable to relapse back into games. Something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
