How to Reduce Addicted Games
Playing computer games is an exciting activity. We sometimes forget time, forget to eat and also loss of social life due to playing computer games.
There are so many addicted games in the internet. Some of addicted games are strategy games, MMORPG or gambling games (e.g. poker, blackjack). Even old games like flash games can also make people addicted.
Like my own experience, i got addicted to old computer games like Championship Manager, Heroes of Might and magic and also Ragnarok online.
I have some tips that can be tried if you have some problem with addicted games.
Make a Decision
The first step is to decide to stop playing addicted games altogether or reduce it drastically.
If you’ve come to the conclusion that playing the games ruin your life, college or hinder your career, really aware that there is no way other than to motivate yourself. Stop playing addicted games or reduce it untill you are sure that your real life is not interrupted even if you play games.
Self-discipline
People who are addicted to gaming, although consciously want to quit but they want to try and try again. This can only be overcome by rigorous self-discipline. You must be hard on yourself. It’s hard to stop from a very pleasant, but it would be painful if it interferes with your life without realizing it.

I agree that the best way to get over addiction is find some new hobby. At least it will get you distracted form the previous habit. Regards!
this topic got my attention,really helps,im a addicted gamer myself..
Thanks for sharing such valuable information.Keep posting such great info for us thanks.
I can swear by this article. My teenage nephew is totally addicted to video games. He saves up his monthly allowance and gets loads of them and whiles away all this free time in front of the TV. And since both his parents are working, there is no one to monitor him constantly. I fear if he can ever get off this addiction.
I guess the internet age is taking toll. Its about time we encouraged outdoor games and activities like in good ol’ days!
Having non-gamer friends can also help.
Learning new things is my favorite tip! Keeping your mind on other things not only gets you away from addictive games but it also develops your character.
im addicted to dota and some high graphic game. tried so many way to keep my focus and not playing games but i failed. last resort action, i sold my gaming rig and buy a laptop. this way, even if i want to play games, i cant because my laptop cant support it. the best way ever to prevent me wasting my time from playing games
I once addicted on games especially the online, I always think that I’m in a competition with the whole server. At that time I prefer to level my char than to go to school (resulting to failing grades), I always eat lunch dinner in front of the computer just not to miss a second of playing. The good thing is I manage to control it through self-discipline. I’m still playing (World of Warcraft) but I’m controlling it more. Nice article Andy!
Thanks. you are welcome.
Better share or spread this entry to those who are so into games on Facebook. It’s not just online social networking games. It applies to all video games. People are too addicted to them.
Farmville and angry bird are very addicted game on facebook. It’s really hard if we want to get quit on those game.
Great information,thanks for sharing.
Easiest way to stop your addiction is to get a day job, get a girlfriend/boyfriend, get friends, and not have any spare time… addictions are more caused by boredom and idleness… so get out more and have fun in life
this topic is so certain to the younger ones, because they are the one who always use and play games and ones they will be addicted to it ,it can effect to much larger problem
Nice Tips! Computer Gaming is really very addicting. We have a computer shop before and I observed some if my friends spend more time and money and gaming in order to finish the games.
Yes, you are saying true.. I am totally agreed with you.. This is very important.
THanks
It is an interesting topic and a problem in todays society. gaming is a great way to relax but its alll about moderation
Computer games can be very addicting. I remember during my college days, I was addicted to Level Up games. I don’t eat my breakfast and dinner just to save money to play games. I just can’t sleep without having to hold the mouse and the keyboard. I feel like I was going to die. LOL.
I have that experience too. I never touch my thesis just for gaming. I sometimes laugh when i remember it.
I think its a great post.

I played lots of games (MMORPG) but I never been addicted to it. As you posted above, self-discipline is the best thing to avoid addiction on games. If the gamer have self-discipline, he/she won’t be addicted to it on the first place.

I’ve never really been addicted, but did get slightly obsessed with trying to rank up on COD MW. I actually find that I lose hours on the internet rather than gaming.
Good Info Dude..
Loved It.
Some people are becoming slaves of online gaming. Spending hundreds of dollars on it and becoming totally incapacitated when playing. I think parents are the ones to take action when things get serious.
Your advices have good point but I think I am lost in the game world. I don’t find the outer world attractive any more. What should I do?
Yes, some games can be really addictive! I once got addicted to this particular game whereby I played continuously for 24 hours and continue playing after another 4 hours of rest! I would go bonkers once I’m unable to play the game for just minutes!
You certainly have some agreeable opinions and views. Your blog provides a fresh look at the subject. Your blog is very unique, thanks for taking the time to share your view with us.
I agree that finding new things to replace any addiction is a good thing. Find some new hobbies, work towards a degree or certification to further career, etc.
it is really serious topic to think about but from my view it is not so hard to completely stop playing the computer games if someone desperately decide to quit playing the addicted games even friends and family play a major role in helping him or her to stop completely playing the computer game
