What I learnt from going back to video games after destroying my video game addiction

Video-games... They took a large chunk of my life, too. Everyone's different, but my choice of games was mostly competitive, and destructive. (Tekken, LoL) This led to a loss of fulfilment, for I wasn't building anything. Winning felt like nothing. Games did improve my reactions, though. I've noticed them dwindle since abstaining. I've since redirected my energy into computer programming, with the help of my wife, Crystal. My gaming lifestyle affected my relationship; made me impatient, intolerable. Crystal saw these emotions and reflected them, allowing me to see who I was and change. I wish I could balance gaming, but I get too addicted. Especially with matching algorithms designed to keep players playing (prominent in both Tekken and LoL). Games can be beneficial, especially in the form of simulators. Anyway, kudos to your self-awareness, and good luck on your journey. PS. How old are you, and where are you from? (Guess: Australia, 20)

I think the gaming needs balance just like every other form of entertainment. Gaming is useful for memory, fun, learning a language but once it holds you back from life then becomes a problem. I can say for myself that I was an addict as a kid I used to play lot of games on my ps2 and ps3 and got bad in school almost fell the school perhaps and now few years later I just don't have that drive to do it like so many more important things happened over the years and you just don't have a time.

Yeah exactly. I personally only play during the weekend. Everything needs balance
