How do you avoid being addicted to computer games?

First of all, uninstall whatever game you're addicted to.

Second, get a new hobby.

And lastly, you'll probably forget about that game.

i have something to add. if it is a video game, put the whole system on a high up shelf, pick a long book, and don't get your game back until its finished. i was addicted to my sims, and i lost my dsi which had the game in it (ofcourse i eventually found it) and in like a week, i didnt care anymore.

if you think that's just not right, slowly limit yourself and try to stop in about 2 hours, then 1 hr 30 min then 1 hr and etc
