Is video gaming bad if I'm not addicted?

8 posts in this topic

Once upon a time, I had a video gaming addiction... 

Soon I am off to Canada to live, I will build a great life there and have the support system I need already in place and easily accessible. 

I sold my PS4 back in January time, in hopes to buy a better computer to be more productive. 

I didn't get along with my job at all and didn't makr enough money so thag never happened. 

Fast forward to now, I have actually been ill for 2.6 months basically, but when I am not, I have a good job that can get me good money in a short period of time before I emigrate to Canada. 

My question is this: Would me getting a PC that is capable for gaming be a wise choice? 

I have been addicted before, but there is pressure in Canada to succeed in my business and life, I will have people pushing me forward, and I will obviously only game in my down time. Is this OK? 

Most of the time, I will be working, I will he playing airsoft, I will be shooting and I will be socialising... Obviously doing tons of PD work at all times, I just kinda miss the games ??‍♂️? 

 

Thanks all!

It’s no use cutting an addiction, if you haven’t dealt with its underlying causes.

Have you seen the episode “Awareness Alone Is Curative”?

Your thoughts cause your suffering, not the video game.


Feel your hearts embrace of this moment of existence, and your love will awaken in everything you perceive ❤️

I think addictions are actually a good thing. I know that's kind of a weird thing to say but here's my logic. If you're not addicted to something then it's hard to get good at it. And it's hard to enjoy it. The more you do something the more you will enjoy it. And the better you will get at it.

I disagree, Leo goes over this but basically we should be in charge of our desires mostly, passion is not addiction.

There's kind of a thin line between the two. If you spend 12 hours a day on playing video games people would say that you're addicted. But if you spend the same amount of hours on your business people would say that you're passionate.

Strongly disagree, I think it bad to be addicted to work also, workaholism should be avoided, sharpen the saw!
