Every addiction has its consequences.
There are
negative consequences
to a gaming addiction. This book will help you fully
comprehend
the problems and learn how to help yourself or others
break out
of the addiction. Free yourself or others from unproductive behavior so
life
can be healthy and enjoyable again.
Get some perspective on your gaming addiction.
Online gaming is
fun
, there’s no doubt about it! Gaming can help you explore your personality, enhance your creativity, and sharpen your problem-solving skills. However, if your virtual reality starts to damage your
real-life interactions and health
, then you have a problem. That is what this book is designed to address. I wrote “Gaming Addiction” for the purpose of guiding you through the process of
evaluating
your gaming activities to determine what is helping you and what aspects of your game of choice are actually messing up your life. I know, I know, gaming
is
your life! But is it a life that will lead to
good things
, or will it ultimately take you to a place you don’t want to go? There is a healthy balance that can be attained.
Get the best out of both “worlds.”
You
can
get what you want out of life, yes,
real life
. It is possible to
continue to play
online and still have a happy family, loving relationships, meaningful work, and delightful social experiences. The challenge is not letting the draw of the game
overpower
what you
know
you need to do and who you want to be. It’s not healthy to spend
all
your time “checked out” from real life; some of the time it's okay to escape, but remember: while you’re escaping from your life, there’s
nobody else
out there who will
live it for you
.
Gaming as Avoidance
I get it. Sometimes life is just too harsh. We sometimes just need to get away. Yet, if you find yourself “escaping” to a virtual world to the point that you use your avatar more often than your real name, you’re in trouble. For those of us who don’t feel 100% confident around other people 100% of the time, it’s
easier
to just camp out in an alternate universe. However, it’s equally important to
resist
the temptation to spend
of your time there. While gaming can help improve social interaction (at least virtually), you need real world social interactions to truly grow and develop as a person. You also need real life social interaction to help avoid getting depressed. In this book I offer a variety ways you can take steps to
interact
without hiding
behind an avatar.
