helllo , my name is Bruno, I am a 30 year old Portuguese guy living in Belgium. 

I started playing games when I was 6 and have been playing games all my life, always have been jumping from one game to another because i get easily bored. the games where I have spent more time was WOW, Fifa and some other MOBAs. I have several problems with gaming for ex: uncontrolled rage, complete obsession with the game , I don' t even give attention or want to do anything with my wife.

I usually go work and every pause i get on my phone doing things related to my actual game, i spend the entire day anxious to get home so I can play, and when i finally get home i play until I go to bed. some games just drain all from me other not so much but I know that I am addicted to playing. If I stop playing because I got bored I just enter in a deep depression and lose all joy in life until I can find my next game.

2 days ago my wife told me she was unhappy with our life, that i cared more about the games than about her, that I spend more time with games than with her, that i love my computer and not my wife. this made a click in my mind I have decided so seek help, since then I am not playing games , but I am always thinking about them, saying to myself that this time I can control It, that this time I will only play one hour a day. I know that it's not true, I can' t control it, after 1 hour the next day will be 2, and on the weekend it will be the entire night. SO THATS ENOUGH FOR ME. i will start doing the 90 days detox and I will try to save my marriage a as well as my real life, try to focus on my job, learn the 2 languages spoken in belgium and improve my social skills.

 

here is my story
