This is the story of how I got un-addicted to video games and had a blast while I was at it. I was addicted to computer games, Diablo and Warcraft. I became so obsessed it was all I could think about. If I wasn’t playing I was devising strategies in my head. Eventually I could not tear myself away from the screen even to greet family at the door. My wife started referring to herself as a Video Game Widow. My finances were going down the toilet.
