Thinking About Moving On From Video Games?

[Monomer 83]

I played under different names than this forum name, started Olympus in 2015, and have a few thousand hours. I know how it can feel playing all the time and feeling like this will be your life. Today, several years after deciding to get control of my gaming addiction, I will soon be a doctor.

Not sure why you would quit games. Real life hasn't had an update since jesus the content is stale at this point.

No reason to remove video games from your life once it takes off. I’ve been gaming since I was 5. I am married, own a house and have a great career. I play video games by myself and with my wife daily. 
 

But if you have an addiction then that’s another story.

Honestly those of us that have spent tons of time on any game have one found ourselves invested "too much", but at the end of the day,  I wouldn't trade my time on this game,  or a few others, for anything.

For some, it's am issue, but don't propagate the feeling that time spent well with those whose company you enjoy is an inherent problem, because while your situation may have been inverted from mine, taking the time to get re-invested did more for me than most will know.

Getting away from games isn't everyone's solution. For some this post is just another reason to feel bad about a path that in some cases might well be working for them.

That said, congratulations on tackling something that was a long running demon for you. That shit deserves mad respect, even if I disagree about your current takeaway being as ubiquitously applicable as the initial posts verbiage seems to imply.
