Who enjoys gaming?

I know I do!
I enjoy it so much that I can spend most of my waking hours gaming. Multiple days in a row, given the opportunity.

I’ll even skip on studying if it means I can squeeze a few more hours in.

That I’m so addicted to it is the problem.

It most certainly isn’t the worst addiction one could have, but it is still pretty bad.

I’ve used gaming to hide away a lot of my insecurities and not deal with general problems in my life. I’ve also shut myself off from people during important times, my ex included.

Now we have done plenty of gaming together, but I’d go longer than her instead of doing more important stuff, like head out and enjoy the day.

Well, not always. Enough for me to recognise it is an issue though.

So how do I change this?

That I have done very little of it over the  past month is a good start. However, I need to do more.

I can set myself time limits for my gaming based on more important priorities. It would severely limit the amount I do, but at least I’d be forced to function a little better.

It would certainly give me less of an excuse to hide my insecurities and problems.

Certainly easier said than done, but not impossible!
