    Which I did LOL! I had friends who would rather play games than look for a job and their in their mid 20s. And I told them about my game addiction before, encouraged them to look for jobs instead of playing games and bumming around a lot. Some did listen, but mot of them are still on that track up until now. It's really sad to see them that way.

    That's great! So, you did a wonderful job! :D

    Keep doing this whenever you need to because this is good for both sides. It's always good to have and being willing to help others.

    It's a field that should never be crosses because unfortunately not everyone can find the way back. This is sad and very worrisome.

    That is true, life sometimes pushes people passed a limits. That's why you got to try to look out for them every now and again.

    That's right! Addiction may seem like something cool, but it's no more than an illusion. People have to be aware of this.

    I think most people, few people are aware of their addiction. It is just they refuse to give it up either because it is all they can value in life due to bad circumstances or that is what helps them get through the day.

    Yeah, it's kinda complicated because to solve the problem you must admit that you have it. Before this first step, nothing can be done.

    Anymore I wouldn't say I'm addicted to my games at all. Since leaving high school and starting my college life and moving out on my own, I've found that the time I have to dedicate toward video games has diminished quite a bit. I play several nights a week, and typically do so casually. I like to play single player games that don't stress me out so I can relax after work, or I'll play some League of Legends with my roommate.

    As we get older, our priorities are changing... This is normal. The important thing is that you haven't stopped to enjoy playing.

    The spirit of the player still lives in you. :p

    True that, it has been weeks since I played a video game. Though its nice to hear some people can find time to enjoy them even with bust schedules.

    As time goes on, the important thing is not the frequency that really counts... But the willingness to continue playing even when life changes completely.

    True but unfortunately sometimes you don't really have the motivation or energy.

    That's normal. It happens sometimes.

    The spirit of a true player only dies when they decide not to enjoy playing any game any more. Anything before that, still leaves its alive.

    True, true. Though times are sure to get better ever now and again.

    When we give time to time, everything is solved. I don't play as much as I used to, but I still set aside a few hours a week for this.
