I have been playing video games since 89. it has been almost 20 years of gaming. I have a wife and baby girl. I have also a new job where i work from home and I'm 1100 miles away from home base. I have gone through times when i can stop playing but then I just get this urge like I REALLY HAVE TO PLAY!! I have tried to stop or at least tune it down but i cant. I have tried to stop by selling all my video game stuff. I have done this 8 times. But everytime i do it I have to have it back. It has become such a part of me and my brothers relationship that we wont talk on the phone or if we do it is just to see if we are going to be on later. Then we will talk when we play. I just sold my 360 for the second time and I'm not telling my brother and sister or my other friends because they all play and will make fun of me for selling it again. I have to stop. I have to things going and I need to break this. It is costing me to much money and time away from my family.
