this is a cool thread. i've been thinking a lot lately about addiction in general including video games and a lot of these posts were inspiring.
i'm a bit counter mainstream in my belief that self awareness and willpower are the muscles of your soul. if you flex them everyday and are persistent in doing a self scan and building the list of actions that are fulfilling and have progressed you each day, you can't help but build momentum through life and THAT will keep you away from addiction, eventually much more so than any support group or program.
to do this each person has to open up and get curious enough to lock in on what puts them in the zone of progress and feeling their life is on track. it doesn't matter if something is superficially faster with results or more powerful; it's what you can stick to through weeks and months that will evolve you.
