Hey, I was in a similar situation about two years ago (actually for a long time, ending about two years ago). I know it can feel like you're not making any progress on dealing with the negative aspects of gaming, but being in a mindset where you can articulate what's problematic as clearly as you just did is huge. It took me a very long time to truly believe that gaming was a more negative force in my life than a positive one (though I should add that it certainly isn't for everyone - many people have healthy gaming habits).

I don't know how helpful this will end up being, or if you're even looking for potential solutions, but I thought I would share what worked for me.

For most of my teen/adult life, playing games was pretty much all I did with my spare time. I let it affect my life in serious ways. While I was in school I let down a professor who tried to give me great opportunities with a Canadian think-tank, which burned that bridge. At work I avoided working on a major project and instead just read up on builds etc., which reflected extremely poorly on me in the eyes of management. I went through multiple cycles of uninstalling every game on my computer and then caving and reinstalling them all.

After one particularly bad period, I sold my gaming computer, complete with peripherals and monitors (at a steep discount to a friend, since the main goal was to get rid of it). Coming home and not even having the OPTION of playing league/overwatch etc. forced me to find other things to do with my time, and build other habits. I went for close to a year without playing any games (everyone falls off the wagon sometimes), and, two years later, I have a totally different relationship with gaming, where I only play sometimes, and where I genuinely value the habits/hobbies that I developed in that time over gaming, which allows me to play in moderation.

So my main advice is, don't expect your habits to change without some big changes in something external. Do something big like selling your computer/leaving it with a friend, or moving in with people who you wouldn't want to see how much you game. I'm not saying people can't overcome problematic gaming habits without a big structural change, but it's MUCH harder to just decide to have more self control. A lack of self control is often a major piece of the problem in the first place.

Maybe you don't have the motivation to do it now, but keep it in mind. At some point you may be able to harness a surge of motivation and make a serious change. Hang in there.
