A few days ago a friend send me a short Halo 3 video. The context of the video is unimportant, what scared me was that after literally five seconds I had to turn it off. All I watched the player turn and fire his gun, and I could instantly feel myself getting pulled back into the game. Since then my urges to play have come back in full force. I WANT to play again. I just don’t understand how can something so small can erase all the months of work I’ve put into fighting my addiction?

seems like you failed to realize games are illusion and have no real value except boredom killing … don’t fall on them … get busy with something else, preferably out of your home …

Dude, I’ve been gaming since as far back as I remember. I appreciate all the stuff you are saying. Up until lately, since I am moved out on my own now, I hadn’t ever really considered myself “addicted”. When I heard that “addiction” levels were 20-30 hours a week… man… I play like 4-6 hours a day. When GTA 4 came out I played every free second for like a week. I see this was posted in April. Well I hope you are still keepin up the good fight. There is nothing wrong with gamin once and a while, even for 30 hours a week as long as you keep up with shit in the other aspects of your life… right? I dunno. I am starting to think maybe I have a problem.
