Anyone ever been addicted to video gaming. Right now I'm going 90 days straight without touching a video game.
I'm not a super-avid gamer, as in one who keeps up with all the latest games but when I get into a video game it's like crack to me, and almost impossible to put it down until I've finished it (usually though once I've finished a game, I won't have an urge to play games again until I start on a new one - it's out of sight, out of mine for me) some studies show games release a dopamine response similar to nicotine and other stimulants as well.
I've gone about a week straight without gaming or thinking about a game and I feel way more relaxed and productive. And I don't have any plans to play again unless I can find a way to moderate it healthily.
