How to Control the Addiction.  

You're right, playing games online is only giving us entertainment. I was almost an addict to online games like World of Warcraft. I work during my duty hours, ignoring my work and what my boss has to say when i get caught, i tend to give an alibi to my bf when he wants me to go with him so that i can play, i don't tend to get back to all my friends messages when they want the team to hangout. Yes, my world revolved around the game only. It's when my bf talked to me that i have to quit this game because it has a lot of disadvantage.. Well yeah i gave it a thought and tried quitting, and thank god it was successful. I tried to spend most of my time with my bf or if not hang out with my friends. Watch movies with my family and having my 100% attention to my work. It was helpful spending quality time with my loved ones. And WoW is way too expensive for me to play now..so better really quit :D

oh really?? hahah.. you buy tshirts so that you wont waste your money on 11hour tickets?? lol.. thats so gayish.. hahaha.. kidding.. good for you.. i cant play anymore coz im working.. f*ck .. hahaha.. how i wish i can still play..

You won't be able to break your addiction just all of a sudden. I'm going to 100% guarantee you that you will break your addiction when you get bored of it. Avoiding playing the game when you have a strong addiction is the worst thing to do since you'll want to play it even more. Therefore, when you get bored of it, you will naturally break your addiction to it and will stop playing it completley. At least that's what happend to me, which worked very well. I also recommended this to my own friends.
Hope this works for you and good luck friend!

First off, yes games do indeed get addicting. The first game i got addicted too was Runescape which i spent almost 1 and a half years playing on. When i look back to this day, i don't know why i wasted so much time into playing such a 'horrible' mmorpg. Anyways, 3 years later i came to know about it by eavesdropping on my friends, and moreso, 2 weeks later i bought the game and started playing. I was really impressed with the game, for its a very high quality standard mmorpg, which made it very playable, and addicting. I stopped playing wow 1 and a half months ago, for the simple reason that i got bored of playing, and i realised it wasn't worth the time taken. So basically if you want to not be addicted to an addicting game, keep on playing it, you will eventually get bored of it. Also ask yourself, if it is actually worth your time.

i control my addiction by hanging out with friends.....

I was addicted to WoW because of the time pressure behind it. I always had the thought in my mind "I paid for it and now I have to use it as much as I can during this time because I have already paid!!!!!"
It stopped when I cancelled my subscription and started to play on a private server. No pressure, just doing some quests for a few hours on a sunday. I don't care about raids, so I am able to use it as a normal hobby now.

to me the best why to not be addicted to a game is to remember it is just a game. there is no reasone to not have fune with freindes outside of the game.
