DOUGLAS BOURNE - BRISBANE
I know you might be thinking that you're sick of hearing people nag
you about the amount of time you spend playing video games, but I
promise I will only take a minute of your time.
You were referred to this page or you found this page for a reason.
You or someone else thinks your gaming is a problem.
By the time you finish reading this letter, you will either have the
ammunition to get them off your back or you might discover that there
really is a problem.
Game addiction is slippery to define..It happens without anyone
noticing. Gaming is harmless at first.
There is a thin line between gaming addiction and spending a lot of
time playing video games.
Most gamers can pull themselves away from games and interact with
others socially with no problems.
Then there are those who can't control their gaming activity.
What you are about to discover will shock you.
You may think your gaming habits are harmless and you only play a
couple of times a day but in 2013 there will be a new disorder called
Video Game Addiction added to the DSA.
The DSA is a major clinical tool used by psychiatrists and
psychologists to diagnose mental health disorders.
ARE YOU CHAINED TO YOUR GAMING ADDICTION?
You may be addicted if:
* Increasing social withdrawal
* You are lethargic and disinterested in previously enjoyable
activities
* A worrying loss of balance in what was once a multi-faceted
lifestyle
* You neglect your responsibilities, skipping work, school or
neglecting the children
* You neglect your health, missing meals, consuming power drinks,
coffee and sugar just to keep awake
* A surprising and unfamiliar manipulation of the truth
* You're showing physical effects of playing too long, headaches,
insomnia, carpal tunnel, backache.
* Often noticeable lack of Personal Hygiene
* An alarming inability and lack of desire of performing day-to-day
Must do Tasks (and/or chores).
WHY PEOPLE GET ADDICTED
* Escape from reality
* Action replay
* Self esteem
* Competitiveness
* Release - pent up issues aggression and anger can be unleashed in
the virtual world, not socially acceptable in the real world
* Social interaction
Hi
My name is Gregory and I'm a parent with a teenage son who used to
stay in his room for up to 4 hours straight playing an online video
game.
I started to get concerned when he was skipping meals and got angry
when I asked him to help out around the house.
_I was skeptical about purchasing this book, I didn't think it could
help but after reading it I am certain my son had a video-gaming
addiction. _
I was able to recognize the signs and follow the steps to help get
him back integrated with family life.
_"That's normal,"_ most moms would say.
But Jack was showing signs of VIDEO GAME ADDICTION.
How do I know this?
I monitored his behavior physical, emotional and behavioral over a
period of time and then spent countless hours poring over the internet
to try to find information about this topic.
I spent thousands of dollars researching and talking with experts and
decided if I'm having problems then maybe others are too.
I wanted to share ways that can help them not necessarily stop
playing but limiting play to a more healthy level.
Awareness of the problem can lead to curing of the problem.
I FELT THE NEED TO CREATE THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS SO EASY TO OVERLOOK
GAMING ADDICTION AS JUST SOCIAL AVOIDANCE, BUT LEFT UNCHECKED
So now ask yourself again, do you think you or your loved ones may
have the EARLY WARNING SIGNS?
How would you feel if you knew this was true and you did nothing to
act?
In this book you will find targeted advice on gaming addiction, as
well as information about coping with a loved one's addiction.
You can use the strategies presented in this eBook to discover new
ways to cope with life's difficulties. It explores the many factors to
consider when deciding how much time spent on video gaming is SAFE.
Well now that information is available, finally you don't have to
wonder any more about your GAMING HABITS or those of a loved one.
This book is a revealing look into the _DEEP UNDERBELLY _of gaming
addiction written by someone who has been down the spiral and hit rock
bottom.
You will know for sure, how much is TOO MUCH and what is lurking
beneath the addiction.
THIS ISN'T A GAME ANYMORE
WHEN DOES THE GAME REALLY STOP
_"I have the experience of owning a farm that is not possible for me
in real life," says one addict, hooked to an online game that enables
gamers to build and run their own farm. The game requires that players
return every couple of hours to "tend to their crops" and "feed their
animals." She plays on an average for 5 hours each day, including at
work and before going to sleep. "I ask my fianc to harvest the crops
if I don't have access to the internet," she adds._
Is my son addicted? How do I know? At what point do I seek help?
My subtle hints on his poor hygiene don't seem to work. Are his poor
concentration skills a by-product of this addiction?
I am fearful this is the case. Sporadically he seems to openly admit
to spending far too much time, money and energy on something was once
a harmless hobby.
_It has slowly almost imperceptibly gone beyond a harmless fun time
to an all-encompassing pastime and sadly now into the realm of,
well..it almost seems he is a puppet to a force much stronger than
he.I just don't know who is actually driving his bus anymore_
I NEED HELP, I'VE LOST MY SON TO CYBERSPACE
WHAT IS AN ADDICTION?
The difference between habit and addiction is that habit is a matter
of choice, whereas an addiction is something that leaves you with a
feeling of agitation, sadness or anger if not applied.
Hence, YOU CAN EASILY CONTROL A HABIT, whereas an addiction may
require a certain amount of effort and therapy to overcome.
IT'S ONLY YOU WHO CAN DETERMINE WHEN IT'S "GAME OVER", YOUR SCREEN
WILL KEEP ON ENCOURAGING AND ENTICING YOU TO INSERT ANOTHER COIN
Help!! My son is addicted to games..WHAT DO I DO? What to do if your
friend doesn't socialize with you anymore, your boyfriend has stopped
talking to you.
WHAT NOW? MY HOBBY IS STRONGER THAN ME
It's the same as drugs or alcohol.It starts as mostly pleasure.
As you increase the time spent playing the game, the pleasure
decreases and the pain increases.
To a point where it's almost all pain, hardly any pleasure.
Excessive gaming may soon be officially diagnosed as a gaming
addiction.

Game Addiction is an insightful book on the serious addiction of

The genre of the game doesnt matter despite the fact that violent
games are in the News a lot lately.
The author does a splendid job distinguishing between the habitual

Just like drugs, gambling and other addictions, it is hard to admit
and difficult but not impossible to treat. The author outlines a

addiction.
There is stigma with addiction and being an addicted gamer is no
different. This book is a must read for anyone whose time is consumed

or not.

Surely Gaming never killed anyone.
In actual fact an 18-year-old COLLAPSED AND DIED at an internet caf
after playing an online computer game for 40 hours straight.
"One of the top reasons for college drop-outs in the US is online
gaming addiction-such as World of Warcraft" -_ Deborah Taylor Tate -
Federal Communications Commissioner._
BUT WE USED TO PLAY MONOPOLY FOR HOURS, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE??
The board games we played as a child HAVE A TIME LIMIT, temporary
diversion then we would return to the real world; however, a certain
online game can accumulate HUNDREDS OF HOURS of game playing with no
end in sight. Games like these have no "last level"
What the experts say:
90% of Americans play video games, with around 15 million or 15%
estimated to be addicted.
Your child or partner could be one of those 15 million or perhaps on
the way to joining them.
According to a CNN report, some gamers tend to play for 20
CONSECUTIVE HOURS at times and have even contemplated suicide; many
have suffered in terms of damaged relationships and unemployment due
to excessive gaming.
THE REPERCUSSIONS CAN BE FATAL
For a student who is generally ignored in school or college can be
leading his/her own army for combat in a virtual world.
Certain video games such as World of Warcraft are more addictive
because they "deliver rewards with greater intensity".
Video-gamers are motivated by the rewards offered within the medium
of the game, (which are) virtual goods, social feed-back, or an escape
from reality.
Single, socially isolated teenage boys and 20-something men are at
most risk of problem gaming.
Factors like being male, single, being socially isolated, having
attention difficulties, social anxiety, disengagement from school and
other activities and poor family relationships seem to be associated
with problem gaming.
Patients displaying internet "over-use" tend to suffer underlying
mental health problems. Nick Kowalenko - Chairman of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry faculty at Royal Australian and New Zealand
College of Psychiatrists.
"I usually see it in kids who are depressed and unhappy, or kids who
have problems managing their impulses such as kids with ADHD, or
problems regulating their mood," he said.
UP TO 3 PER CENT OF REGULAR ONLINE GAMERS HAVE A DISORDER
"It is not an illness at this stage because the boundaries between
what is a problem and what is a disorder are not clearly understood.
Melbourne child psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg said online games
could trigger the brain's "happy" neurotransmitter, dopamine.
"Some kids get the same dopamine hit from online games that drug
addicts get taking drugs," he said.
"For some kids, who are feeling inadequate, it can become their world
and they have trouble distinguishing between their virtual identity
and their real-life identity."
Dr Carr-Gregg urged parents to limit children's internet use and
avoid using online games as "electronic babysitters".
KILL THE MONSTER - THE ENEMY IS
THE CONTROLLER YOU HOLD
One guy would not leave the console to relieve himself, so he made a
make-shift lavatory with a sock.
Would you wear a nappy if it meant not having to stop the game?????
Don't laugh..this is serious stuff.
WHAT DO THE DEVELOPERS DO TO MAKE GAMES SO ADDICTIVE?
They don't want you to stop playing; they want to make sure you keep
playing, so it becomes "UNPUTDOWNABLE PORTABLE GAMING".
This is how they make it so addictive:
* They give you a sense of ownership
* They enable users to live fantasies
* You get to relieve aggression by defeating the enemy
* They create never ending goals
* They provide no end in sight or keep you hanging till the next
installment
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE..PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE

use them that make the difference.
