How to get rid of game addiction?

Gaming is one thing and game addiction Is the other. We cannot say that everyone who plays the game is addicted. There are some symptoms of game addiction.


  • Thinking about gaming all or a lot of the time
  • Feeling bad when you can’t play
  • Needing to spend more and more time playing to feel good
  • Not being able to quit or even play less
  • Not wanting to do other things that you used to like
  • Having problems at work, school, or home because of your gaming
  • Playing despite these problems
  • Lying to people close to you about how much time you spend playing
  • Using gaming to ease bad moods and feelings

These are some symptoms of game addiction.  Serious gamers spend almost 16 to 18 hours/day playing games.  Game addiction can cause a serious threat to the future. It may reflect in the grades of school and college-going kids.  It might also cost the health and relationship of those who are addicted. Serious gaming will create a dysfunctional pattern of life. People with gaming addiction will be considered having mental disorders. They will always feel isolated from the rest of society and feel hard to cope up with daily life. They will always live in a virtual world of gaming and refuse to come into reality.
When someone is so much addicted to gaming it is really hard for them to overcome within a single day. It might take months or years to completely overcome.  But you can overcome if you break the psychology that keeps your gaming.

1. Break your motivation

    Your brain tricks you into gaming through cognitive biases and attachments you have developed. You justify gaming because you don’t want to lose your progress or the money you’ve invested. To quit you need to overcome these.

2. Commit to quitting a stick to it

   Don't just limit your time of gaming. Just commit to never gaming again and stick to it. I know that it is easy said than to be followed. But, commit yourself to pursue your goals and dreams. There is so much out there than just gaming. Promise yourself that you will come out of this gaming loop and take a step towards a brighter future.

3. Find out new hobbies to fill the gap

Most of the addictive games are social games. Single-player games cannot be addictive as much as a multiplayer or a social player game is. So, when you takeout that social factor of the game when quitting it, try to replace it with going out more, partying or making new friends.
If you are laying on your bed staring at the ceiling, you’ll justify gaming because it can’t be any worse than being bored all day. To successfully quit you must find replacement activities.

4. Develop a good mindset

All those tactics and tips to overcome addiction are all great. But, not a single thing will work out if you don't have the right mindset to overcome it. You may go back to where you were if you were forced to end gaming, you have your own life. It is ultimately your choice whether to make good use of your time and life or whether to waste your time, health and future by gaming. You have to develop a mindset to tackle all that life throws at you with will power!
