KevinV1990 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Hi,I am Kevin, 26 years old and from The Netherlands. I have been playing videogames ever since I was little, but it became addicting around the age of 12. Have been really addicted until I was 21/22 (maybe even longer subconsciously). This leaded to me not wanting to go outside anymore, I rather played videogames 6-8 hours a day, and sometimes even more. I also became much shyer than I already was, which leaded to not having "real" friends, not wanting people to get to close to me, and it also didn't help with my education.I got over it around five years ago, because I knew that something needed to change, so I started to play way less than I did before. Everything went good, until this year. I noticed that I started gaming much more again, and decided to challenge myself not to play videogames for one day, because I really was scared for a relapse. It was easier than I thought to not play videogames for a day, and currently I am on my sixth day of not playing videogames. I also sold a lot of the games which I just had to have them, and not to play them. I am even wondering now if I should sell my whole Playstation collection.Since it is not the first time that I stopped playing videogames, I know about a lot of the struggles you will get when trying to stop. So if anyone wants to talk about it, send me a message. Edited March 15, 2017 by KevinV1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
