Came here a long time ago for help but kept on gaming. Things are getting really REALLY bad now. I've been in 12 step recovery for another addiction for a long time but have remained in denial about the depth and extent of this video game addiction. I wish I could say I have this amazing basis of recovery to help me with this addiction but I've always struggled with sobriety in that other 12 step program and never have really worked the steps. Got to step 4 a few times then always would just relapse and bail. Thinking of living without that addiction is scary as hell (because of the comfort and warped sense of safety it brings), but the thought of living without video games is TERRIFYING!! I really wish there were some real life meetings here in the Phoenix area.......
