SteveA47 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hello, It is rather embarrassing this but I need to do something to stop this. Firstly I am in my 40s and almost accidentally got back into gaming. I was on fairly good money last year and needed a new PC. For no apparent reason I bought a gaming PC. This is where my problems started. I was made redundant last October so time became available. I was always an avid gamer when younger so should of realized I have a rather addictive personality. To cut a long story short, I have literally spent 2 months non stop playing online games. I have no energy to look for a job and it is beginning to impact my relationship. I have even spent money on subscribing to games when I am not even working. Enough is enough now, I need to stop. I cannot concentrate, my head is cloudy and I cant move forward. Perhaps there is denial but I am definitely addicted. I am writing on here as I want to make myself accountable and sort this problem out. I teach health and fitness courses by trade so I am not exactly practicing what I preach here. This is day 1..... I have deleted all of my games, deleted steam, deleted everything. Wish me luck 🙂 Steve 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveA47 Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 So far so good. Its very strange. Wake up with a foggy feeling and realise all you think about is gaming. I guess that's what we call an addiction eh. I still struggle and want to log back in but it's important to remain strong and find other activities to replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to post every day, but it might encourage you to see others who are doing the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
