Hey all.I'm a 28 soon to be 29 yr old male from Missouri.I play Battlefield 2 and COD4 on my pc . It has ruined my life.I can not step away from my pc with out constantly thinking about gaming.I don't go on dates anymore. I find hard to work or come up with excuses to miss work so I can game.I got discharged from the Army because I didn't get my GED because I was to busy gaming.I can game for 10 hours straight.I go to bed then wake up and game more.I can not control myself anymore.I spent money I shouldn't have and built a high end gaming pc.It's destroyed my life in every way possible.I do not know what to do.

Dark the best advice I can give you is just take it in moderation. I have played BF2, bf2142, bf vietnam, bf1942, star wars galaxies, WoW you name it the more addicting the game I have played. But if its the fact you enjoy shooting things up, people up, you like the risk of being shot at, why not take up something like paintball, I actually started doing that and there is nothing like someone actually shooting back at you and you know its going to hurt. I am not one of those fanatics that say "If you like war games , go join a real war and see what its like" lol. Try cutting down to maybe 2 hours a day don't cold turkey it, then slowly move out. Start going outdoors, hell start riding through bad neighborhoods or something instead, because speaking from a FPS perspective which I love my FPS greatly, there is nothing more exciting then real life risk, danger. Perma death becomes all more a reality when its in the actual real world enviroment your in at that very second. Life is alot more exciting outside the computer. Dude and to ditch women for games? "sigh" I should just backhand ya now lol jk,, don't you miss the companionship of women? Maybe some passionate touch? Don't pass up life for games because you might be passing up your future partner in life.

Yea.I finally got out and went to a protest for the sat on Saturday and you would swarn I had PMS lol. I found gaming to to be a good escape from reality but now it's become my reality.A girl I've been talking to for over a yr over the net is trying everything to keep me away from the FPS games.I like her a lot even though we live 1100 miles apart.Dumb,I know.Just gaming makes me feel less worthless.Until I get spawn camped,then I just hit my keyboard lol.
