People, sometimes its hard to accept the very few things about yourself that you fear the most. We are here today to talk about a thing we have in common, well most of us. It is time to express ourselves to the open, to work our way to a better path! Let me start by presenting myself:

Hi, im Ravioli and im addicted to games, especially RPGs. There i said it...i actually feel better to get it of my chest. Now, next members turn! YOU must confess in order to post in this thread! If you are not addictive then..then..do whatever you want :/

Everyone who confess they are addicited to games gets a FREE COOKIE! OMFG!!!! :O
Lets see how many here can actually get pass their denial and say openly to their gamer friends: "I AM...ADDICTED! AND IM PROUD OF IT!"

No but really, im starting to get tierd of being addicted! I cant do anything, i cant sleep, i cant watch TV, i cant shower, i cant eat, i cant go out, i cant talk in RL! I dont even know how to play sports anymore! I get tierd of just walking to the bathroom! Is there anyway i can fix this? :( Im not trying to get attention, i just want to hear a few tips from you who has the same problem. I do NOT tend to stop gaming, never ever, i love it, its what i do! BUT i just want to get rid of the NEEEED, i want to get rid of that evil demon in my brain lashing me with a whip screaming "GAMES GAMES GAMES".
Im serious about this, i dont want any flaming or jokes about getting rid of addictivness.

If you have any other sort of addictivness, like smoking, or just something ells, tell us and we might figure out a way to fix it.
 
Hi, I'm Bob. And I am addicted to killing babies while wearing roadkill, that I've cut open, over my head.
 
Wow, I'm addicted to games, but I Don't play them 24/7, probably 15/7, but I'm not tired of going to the bathroom, I shower still (I hate that "Dirty" feeling, when you wake up). With the bathroom if you get it over with you won't have another 1-2 hours of bothering piss, or crap.
 
I play alot of games, but I personally dont think I am addicted to them, i think..........
 
Finally a thread i can relate to...

Im Hasib and im recovering game addict. i quit video games beginning of the summer because i was tired of being alone the whole time and needed to get a fresh start in my life. i went to Arizona for 3 weeks as a retreat, and i didn play games when coming back. But that only lasted for 3 weeks after i returned... i had a relapse and played CS for 5 hours. i managed to decrease the usage for awhile.

i think that quitting games is like quitting smoking or drugs. its not as easy as you all think. it takes some balls to step your foot down and say 'im addicted to games and i want to quit so that i can have a better life'.

I realized how much i missed out on life. there are so many activities to do, like hanging out with people, starting your own band, or dating.

When i go back to school, im gonna do things differently, like attending football games, hanging out with new people and going to dances.

15 hours is too much, you need to stop.
 
Actually, I became addicted because my original friends (from primary school) started ignoring me. And it sure as hell isn't because I'm annoying, because I have loads of other friends at school, camp, abroad, etc. I make friends way too fast (As in, the wrong kind of friends)
 
I'm not really addicted... but I used to be.

I'll have certain days where I don't feel like going out at all, and just sit on the computer for the majority of the day... but that's only like once or twice a week.

But for the most part, I do partake in daily weightlifting... and the occasional game of baseball.
I have a beautiful girlfriend, that I've been with for the past two years now.

I have a well-paying job as an apprentice welder, and a side job as a mechanic at the local garage.

Anyways... I first came to video gaming in mid-1995, My first video game was Super Mario Bros. All Stars.
After that, everything went downhill.

To fast forward a bit, during the last months of 2003... I was really really bad with gaming.
I'd literally...
Wake up
Take a shower
Eat Breakfeast
Go on the computer.
Eat supper.
Go to bed.
Wake up.

Rinse, repeat.

I'd sit there atleast 19h/7d a week.

I was in a really reclusive stage of my life, after a few months of this shit... I decided to go see a therapist on my own and he really helped me out alot.

One day I just worked up the courage to ask out the one girl I really liked at school... she accepted, we've been going out ever since.

My life changed after that, really. :)
 
I'm only on 15h a day because it's summer, and I can't find a damn job... when school starts it'll go down to like 2 hours a day.. I'm just trying to make the most of all this wasted time...
 
I expected to play a whole hell of a lot of games this summer, but yeah, I didn't. I probably average 30-40 hours a week when school's around though, ironically.
 
I game like crazy and I dont care. Occasionally I do social stuff when it comes along so its all good.
 
Yeah i used to be pretty addicted to games but i could usually break from them easily. I went out quite a bit, a had a lot of friends at school, i played the guitar and i also did karate.

Now my gaming interest is no where near as big as it was a few years ago, in fact playing the guitar or listening to music is my favourite past time indoors. I go out a lot with my mates down to the city center, or to play football, or tennis, or badminton. I know even more friends from college. I have also acomplished quite a bit in life for a 17 year old like getting my black belt and becoming a senior member and instructor of the karate club i go to. Other than that, getting good grades most of the time, having a band for a few months back in high school, and of course, the good old friday nights seeing all my mates make an ass of themselves lol

Well i sort of trailed off there, but the best thing to do if you are addicted is find more hobbies that can drag away, fortunately i started karate and guitar playing from quite a young age so i never did become properly addicted to computer games, and now it is just another hobby for me, even though i still love them =D
 
I have no extreme addictions.

I'll admit, that every so often it'll feel like the booze is calling out to me "DRINK ME! I TASTE SO GOOD!", but that's it. Nothing uncontrollable.

RLY, if you're addicted to games, then you have serious social issues. I mean, seriously, almost anything outdoors is more fun that games.

I'll admit though, I have days during the week that I call my "game days", where I don't do anything but game, and I also have some sundays where I feel lazy and just game all day, but rly, go to the mall or something. Get fast food with your friends. Go fishing. Or hell, just hang out in the park with some people.

Anything with anybody is more fun that sitting infront of your computer.

Ballance.
 
I dont game at all, I have 62 girlfriends to treat like shit, that usually occupies the majority of my time, the time thats left is spent on here posting about it.


Losers.
 
Hah! I have 79! Three of which are Zebras.

Loser!
 
I only mentioned Girlfriends, and not the 147 wives.

Thats right bigamy up yo face.

Biatch.
 
People think I play video games all day. Don't know why though, most people I don't even talk to about video games.
 
I used to be addicted to pc games like hell,I remember that I played StarCraft for 18 hours straight,I had serious problem back then...but i finally come to the right path,but I'm still addicted to HL2.....:D
 
lol i find this topic really funny for some reason
 
I'm not a gaming addict, I'm a forum addict D:
 
I used to be really addicted, playing lots and lots of games. i played anarchy online for about a year almost every free hour i had, that ****ed up my grades ALOT.

anyway, I dunno what happened. it's just kind of subsided, i think it has to do with maturity or other interests.

I find music making much more fun than wasting time shooting shit in a game, I like to do constructive stuff. I hang around alot on forums, but i prefer being social and doing fun stuff. physical activities are alot more fun than games

and there's all the upgrading stuff with games, i have a hard time understanding how someone could spend a grand and above on a single computer, then again people have a hard time understanding my unbelievable fetish for old analogue synths from the 70's-80's that cost about the same :D

the only game i could consider playing would be like something really simple and fun like tetris. I like older games like tiberian sun, i think thats the last game i played. online games where you hunt for stats and shit are really boring, theres no teamwork at all
