Ways to overcome game addiction-Zaki

Game addiction is a big thing. You'll know you're addicted when you stop going to the toilet or skip meals or stop sleeping. I have experienced all of them. Yes, I was a game addict until my father bought me a book. I was so absorbed in it that I completely forgot about my computer and that I didn't even notice that he got me a laptop all for me. Seriously. Now back to the topic, people love playing games. However, more teens are playing computer games. Adults can be addicted too. But the thing about this is that it has grown on us and you cannot yank it out of someones life. That makes the victim crave more and lose focus in life and instead of playing other games, that person waits patiently ,standing rooted to the spot. Now here is a solution: instead of removing it, find another thing that overcomes the thing he is addicted to. For example, a 16-year old teen is addicted to Dota. Instead of removing it, introduce another game or sport or hobby into his/her life. Maybe paintball, go-kart recing, soccer, reading, hanging out with friends or basketball. Another way to wean the victim off the computer is to limit his/her computer time. This method may not give desirable results or failure or effiency but it is worth a try. Apparently, there is an application for computers that allows another computher(with complete authorization) to be limited like.....For example, one computer's time limit is 2 hours of internet usage. Once 2 hours are up, the app shuts down the computer and gives you a notice on how to start the computer. When it starts up, the network connections are all locked; requiring the locker's password and the netork password. But some people gave bad reviews on it and have shown a way to hack it.
Overall, I hope anyone who has a game addiction could benefit from this. Cheers,Zaki.
