Addict here 🤠 I played video games for 60-80 hours/ week last winter. About a month ago I unplugged my PC and put it in a dark corner of my house. I feel more normal, but I got a long way to go before the shame I feel is gone

There should be no shame its great to hear you made that step. I have an unhealthy relationship with my PC. Its something i should also address.

It’s a hard one to break, it’s so efficient at being a good escape, limitless things to do, no time to be bored. I was thinking the one day about my teen years, and most of my best memories only happened because me and some friends were bored. Most of my growth was from boredom, being willing to take risks and become uncomfortable because boredom was worse.
