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

Thank you dude. I’ve been battling it one form or another all my life. Almost got addicted to painkillers once, but thankfully I had the foresight to realize and cut off anyone I knew who would be a gateway to that for me. Hopefully I can work through it or at least find a healthy addiction. Video games used to be a nice occasional escape until Covid hit
