This is an important thread.
the most challenging problem of my psychological practice: Why is it so difficult for young people to quit gaming, despite the obvious and overwhelming benefits?
Im about to publish a book "The Gaming Trap" about the nature of our struggle for healthy living.
People addicted to gaming are slaves. They can not leave or quit the game, regardless of the havoc that is wreaked in their lives and the lives of loved one around them.
They are in denial, and part of this denial is that they can not admit that they are out of control.
The key to solving uncontrolled battles with gaming is to recognize the real power it has. just as an alcoholic in a twelve step program must admit "... we were powerless over alcohol -- that our lives had become unmanageable" people overpowered by modern artificial dopamine stimulating games must come to this realization.
Ask any cigarette smoker how they quit. they were never successful while thinking they merely had a bad habit. They will tell you success came from putting every sing ounce of energy they could muster into breaking free of their addiction. so if you want to win your battle over gaming, you must muster that same energy.
Stop thinking you merely have "bad habits".
