Has anybody here had experience with Computer Game addiction?
I've Destroyed his computer in the past. I've also put passwords on it, and even tried flashing up health messages on his computer. It don't work, he gets extremely violent (just like the first stages of drug withdrawal), and he has actually injured me several times in this process. Then he'll have a cry, and then find another way to play games. Once all those are exhausted, he'll just sit in front of the television and vegetate. Notice how every single one of these involve a lack of physical activity, and a reluctance to deal with the physical world? My brother knows perfectly well he's an addict, and that his schoolwork is deteriorating, and that he's unhealthy because of the extended periods at a computer without any real physical movement. He just doesn't care.Frigid said:i suggest either an enforced timetable for your brother, with the threat of formatting his harddrive and destroying his CDs, or just tell him that prolonged use of the computer in a sedentary position is linked to an early onset of infertility, heart disease and osteoarthritis.
oh and like masturbation, gaming makes you BLIND.
can i suggest murdering him would be a solution, albeit a desperate one, to the problem?Phanatical said:Fact is that the only person who can help my brother is my brother.
