August 13, 20169 yr I've been a gaming addict on and off for 12 years. I'm 30 years old. I lost a lot of my life when I played World of Warcraft in college. I quit that... A couple years later I picked up League of Legends... Played that for many years and then quit. I thought I had made it. I've experienced a life free of gaming and enjoyed it. Heck, there was a whole year where I didn't even have a computer set up in my apartment.Now, I'm addicted to Overwatch. I know I'm addicted because I'm experience some telltale signs and symptoms... Declining social invitations, anxiety when I'm not playing it, desire to play it for entire days. I don't know what to do, because part of me wants to keep playing, but the more rational part of me understands that I need to let go of it to be truly happy and move forward in my life...
August 15, 20169 yr It sounds like you understand what you want. Maybe spend some time thinking about why you relapsed. Was it a particular stress or trigger in your life? If so, is it possible to work on the issue from that perspective?
