Have you tried reading?

I have a lot of down time these days so gaming a lot is ok right now. Shooting things is a nice stress reliever.

Azure_Valkrie-yea I have tried but nothing interests me

Phoenyx9-I am always stressed games are good at getting rid of stress just too much though I have things to do and find myself distracted.

Yes, it's best to focus on school, but you could also limit your playing time or even play on weekends.

hassanfadil- yea I could do that but right now I am going to take a break for a few weeks I know im addicted its become a big problem with me this combined with my lazyness and without games I can focus and not be distracted got to cut off my adiction right now I really want to turn on my xbox and play but if I do I will play all day.

You made me remember when i was addicted to Facebook, thanx god am ok now, i would spend lots of hours without even having fun, the weird thing is when am addicted to gaming that means am not having a lot of down times but that happens in holidays for me.

What a bigloss. Better to be addicted to all games then just WOW.

hassanfadil-Yea right now I have alot of down time im not going to stop all together but im going to take it easy.

I think taking a break from games will allow you to learn more about yourself through doing other things, for example maybe you'll start a new hobby (reading for example as mentioned - start with something light like The Zombie Survival Guide if that sort of thing interests you) or try making new friends and doing new things together. Good call putting school first, you have your priorities right whatever you decide to do.

As for me I can't say I've ever been addicted to gaming, having other interests prevents me from playing more than a few hours a week which I think is good. Gaming should simply be a hobby rather than an obsession, you need to find the right balance between gaming and the outside world which can be pretty tough but rewarding at the same time. I hope that's helpful and doesn't sound too patronizing, best of luck and keep us posted.

Mr_Intense-Thanks for the advice dude I will try what you have suggested. Thanks everyone for all the input I will put it to good use.

Last year in my vacations, I used to play games for 15 hours especially racing games like Most wanted and Burnout. But then, as school started I started playing games for only 2 hours -__-

Don't stop gaming, just play it for a while
