Every time I bring up the topic of moderation, they react very defensively and often make the claim that since I'm talking about moderation, I'm more addicted to video games than they are. I find this to be a strange claim for a couple of reasons. First of all, I play video games a lot less than they do which makes perfect sense considering that I'm honest to myself about myself and I actively seek balance in my life. What's your highest level character, Harrison? Secondly, reacting defensively and hurling accusations when someone brings up the subject of moderation automatically raises red flags. When people make lifestyle choices that contradict your own, it forces you to confront your unhealthy lifestyle choices.

In any case, Harrison, you're welcome to judge me. I place zero emphasis on your approval.

Another "Forum Freud" who doesn't care, but here's your wall of text about how much you don't care about my evaluation of your pathetic "addiction" and your inability to resist.

I especially lol'd at the "What's your highest level character, Harrison?"

lulz. harrison tries so hard. anyone have any ideas about what he's trying to compensate for?

Right on, Messianic. There were a couple of trolls but a lot of people posted sincere responses. It feels good to have quit for the time being. Granted, I still crave it every now and then, but cravings pass after a little while, and this forum is a pretty good distraction. I've been more focused at work, exercising a lot more (started doing the Spartacus workout--highly recommend it), and spending more time with my friends and family. Life is great!

Lol what a failure

"I've been more focused at work, exercising a lot more..."

All because of EQ? /wrist
