I forbid myself access to certain classes of video games that I know to be more addictive than I can handle. I also forbid myself from joining any group - clan, team, club, or anything else - which would create a social pressure to play video games.
I encourage everyone to do the same. Avoid video games, for they are devourers of life's potential.
I got hooked on Everquest when it was still new, until I made a series of spectacularly bad business transactions that resulted in my having the same items, but less money, at which point I was finally able to pick up the motivation to quit, and counted myself well out of it.
My father, on the other hand, developed a long term addiction to the game (he still plays it today) and it took a considerable toll on our family life.
