Question by David Cohen: How to stop a video game addiction?
I used to play runescape for about 2 years. It was really bad, I stopped practicing my music, I wasnt too popular so I didnt go out with friends, and my grades dropped due to me not trying on homework. My dad found out and stopped it but he did it in a different way like yelling at me everyday and that furthered our relationship. But my video game addiction did stop and I did better on my grades, actually extremely well i was getting all A’s. All was good until I found out about league of legends. I was just playing a little bit, then its becoming over excessive. Im on the swim team and still participate in activities and im not obiese. But, I know I can achieve a lot more if I can control this addiction. I noticed I am suceptible to addictions thats why I dont go anywhere near drugs. I want to know how to control this problem. I dont want this to destroy my life. . Im started to not pay attention to family. Help
