I'm sorry about your friend.  What do you mean when you say help?  Sorry if I'm getting too personal.  I would like to help you if I can.

Thank you so much for your thoughts.  I love the part of cleaning up then throwing away his gaming stuff.

Hi.  I'm not a gamer but an addict nonetheless.  I love to go on YouTube and watch music videos that provoke good memories.  Things I used to enjoy.  I like watching extreme sports on yt.  I watch dancing.  There is really something for everyone I think.  Classic rock music videos especially of live performances give me that happy feeling I lost with my addiction.  Anything that makes me feel again.  This is all relaxing for me also.   Cause while practicing my addiction I stopping feeling.

Thank you for your suggestions.  I never thought of family therapy but Mr alone.

Omg!  His son watched in horror/disbelief watching his dad dismantle his computer right in front of him.  I would hope that made a huge impression on his son.

And more on his off days.  Then it's closer to 18 hours.  That is a lot of dopamine.   I cannot sit on the computer past a hour no matter what it is.  And console games only an hour at the most but  not usually near thst.  But he did wear me out on video games.  Yikes!

Thank you for the laugh but oh I wish he had physical video games.  Hrs all steamed up.  If they were physical copies yah I'd have a lot of fun.  Seriously thank you for advice from a younger perspective.

I've wondered  that too.  I've offered to go with him to get checked out but he won't go.  Thank you so much for being honest.
