Easiest way to get rid of a video game addiction

[fender jag]

Yup, look no further.

Step 1.
Remove Windows, can't be addicted if you can't even play.

Step 2.
Install Linux.
Now, I really know this sounds absolutely insane, and just like I want you to install Linux over Windows, but the thing is, I like Windows too, but when you use Linux, you will most likely need to use your brain to fix problems, such as a browser not working. It also sounds like I am just saying that you need to make things harder for you, but Windows hands everything to you on a silver plate. Linux, on the other hand, is used for lots of things, like servers, programming, old people, hell, even North Korea uses it. Game support is another thing, there is rarely any games released on Linux, and you need to use at least 2 % of your frontal lobe to install some windows games.

Step 3.
Don't install Steam. Now, Gaben is really cool, and all, but Steam, used for games, is insanely dominant in the industry I like steam, but my library is getting pretty high, and really, I don't think I should use steam anymore. Games take up space, space takes up time, time is money, money is power.

Dropping video games can be hard. You really don't need to take Linux as "the big pill," stay on Windows, but uninstall everything and start fresh. Sure, it sounds like I'm yapping, and I really am, but still, if you're in that situation, Just Do It, make your dreams come true.

Thank you, Sir Shia LaBeouf, really

That's actually pretty accurate advice.

Now, i'm not saying remove ALL video games, but some (especially the addictive multiplayer ones) can be super unhealthy.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to remove access to the service or platform and fight the urge for a couple of days, it starts to go away after a while.

Moderation is super important, but if you can't trust yourself, remove the source.

Step 4. Use your free time to socialize and meet people.

Step 5. Find someone you really enjoy and want to spend time with.

Step 6. Further your relationship after an appropriate amount of time spent getting to know each other

Step 7. When you compare hobbies, return to video games as a way to connect to your significant other.

Step 8. Do none of these things, because I haven’t tested them on my own yet so I don’t know how foolproof they are.

Or a much easier method:

Step 1: Find a girlfriend
Step 2: Marry her
Step 3: Have Children

You simply won't have time for games anymore.

You may have simply not looked far enough into your books.

You can find a detailed overview of what a girlfriend is on Wikipedia:

Unlike drug addition gaming is just a habit.
Just find something new to do, that will be all that's needed. : >
Often it's a new game that got rid of the old game.
