Video games are a fun pastime enjoyed by people of all ages. If played too much, however, they can begin to consume your time and attention, and even have the potential to become a harmful obsession. Overcoming a gaming addiction isn’t easy, but it can be done, as long as you’re able to find productive ways to fill the void that the absence of video games leaves in your life. It also won’t hurt to have an honest outlook on the severity of the problem, a healthy dose of self-discipline, and a support system in the form of your closest friends and family.
