I have been escaping the reality of life by playing video games

through my younger years. It was as affective as drugs in relation to escaping the hardships of life. However as I approached my middle and late 20s I have realised that all these hours wasted on video games could've been used to improve myself and develop skills to become more successful. Yesterday, I have made one step towards success by stopping video games altogether and I sold my Nintendo switch. People say that playing in moderation is healthy but I'd rather find other activities such as Netflix to relax my mind or even art or music. Video game addiction is a big problem. Hopefully I will never return to it again.

It's time to get serious!

I hope you don't do the mistake of jumping from an addiction to another. Netflix also could be an addiction, actually accessing of anything could become an addiction. so to me, the key is to find the right balance, and to do so, you have to get a goal in your life. have a nice day

Just as you did, I had addicted in video games for many years to escape from my family tragidy. Now, as an alternative besides my PS4, I put all my time into my language study cuz this is something I love and would like to dedicate into. 💪 cheer up.

Just letting you know, you have to figure out what you like, what you are good at, and which skill can lead you a better life. then, that thing or skill is the essencial you should start working on.

That is good news.... Happy for you.... Nowadays I think that many adults play this kind of games... And sometimes we find they become addicted to without paying attention to that... It is really a problem... That people should be careful about....
