i am a wow gamer and a halo 2 maniac and i stayed up almost up to 2:00 everyday. i knew this was bad for me but i didnt know how to stop. so after going to bed at 2:00 i would awake at 4:00 and get one the game again. yea i made some bumd decisions but im ok atleast. i have learned some valuable information here THXS. i also say that if you play a video game when its time to sleep this dmgs your body. the worst days i've ever felt were the ones when i stay up 3 days straight and my school work suffered. so im clean of the 2 and 4 wake up times and im reeling much better.

I Myself was an addict to an MMORPg named A3 but i was out of it after an year
and wen i got a job i started playin again
wat i observed is the atmosphere ur in if ur fellow ppl dont hav any problem and u live amidst gamers u wont be threatend
and u can just keep going on in life by balancing ur days activites

Im a heavy gamer myself, wow being no 1 on my list, I do get pretty hooked but I sent myself to play a certain time everday and I pretty much stick to it. Its all a mind set thing, once you loose track of that youre gone. Ive played 12 hour non stop before but thats usually on a day I have nowhere to go or nothing else to do.
I mind set myself to play between 1 and 4pm everyday for 5 days a week and it works out pretty good, sometimes I play less or a few minutes longer but thats it. There are even those days I play 1 hour or not at all, but my addiction to being online is something I still gotta work on, I just started college so my gaming time and internet time has been cut even short. One of my current assignments are on time management and that is one great lesson, we learn to manage our rl time to our gaming time, things should work out then.
