Video Games can Easily become Addicting

I know games can easily become addicting because I have been addicted. In the article "Just A Game" by Charles D. Knutson and Kyle K. Oswald, it mentions questions to ask if questioning your addiction. Many of these questions like: do you have difficulty stopping, and do you play as often as you can, I would have answered yes to 6 years ago. Games changed my goals. My main goals in life have nothing to do with games but when I'm in a game my life is very different. My only goal is to slay a dragon and save the digital world. When I'm having fun, it's hard to let go and focus on my main goals in life. Games relax me to a point that I don't want to go back to work. Games are great for having fun if that is your only goal. If your goal is something else, don't let games get in the way. Don't get stuck in the life of a game.
