Yes, it is an addiction. It took me many years to realize it. People would say it’s an addiction. I’d deny it. People would say I spent to much time gaming. I would make up excuses. I would play it off like I didn’t play too much. Deep down I knew I did though.

Did it control my life? No, I wouldn’t say that. Through my addiction I managed to get through school with a 3.75 GPA. I received a dual bachelors, got a good job, a new house and prospered. So what’s the problem then? I had no life! Gaming was my life. It was all I did with my free time. I told myself, “It’s what I enjoy doing, so why not do it all the time?” The problem was I didn’t realize there was so much more out there.
