I did quit mine. I spent 4 months playing Planetside 2 for 8+ hours a day, everyday. My schoolwork suffered, my relationships suffered, my health suffered. Then I just quit. Flat out, one day I didn't do it anymore. Since then my life has been so much better, I moved back out of my mom's house, made a bunch of new friends, got a girlfriend. None of that would have happened if I hadn't quit. I still think about the game from time to time but it's not worth it.
Wow. I knew that was a good game but damn. I respect that you were able to recognize what was happening, and you pulled out of it. It's not always an addictive substance that you get addicted to, sometimes it comes from yourself. Props man.
Thanks man. I did of course realize every day that I was engaging in self destructive behavior, but that didn't make it any easier to quit. I personally don't have to struggle with substance addictions, but video games are a whole other matter. I'm sure there are many like me and I hope they have the strength or the support to do what I did.
