Hi, 

I need help. Im addicted to csgo. Im reaching 1000 hours on csgo, and i regret every minute of those. Csgo is ruining my life. Every day, i play for about 3 hours when i get home from school. I cant get any work done after. Also, the infamous gambling scene isnt helping either. Any tips for stopping csgo? Any other games i can play besides csgo, which can be addicting, but i can start off in moderation? I just need to stop cs. 

 

Also, first time posting here, sorry if i did something wrong.

 

Also, uninstalling doesnt help me. I just end up reinstalling.

My friend is also an addict. What worked for him was being too busy with work to even be on the computer. Also slow internet. When you can't play you don't.

 

I recommend DOTA or any game that requires thought over action. You'll feel better when a match is over. :)

Been there. But mine was more along the lines of spending $1200 in 3 months on cases and getting basically nothing.

That's the definition of addiction all right.

It was pretty bad. But I can't say I can complain too much. I opened probably 300-400 cases and got 3 knifes. I know people who've opened 1200+ cases and never gotten a knife.

Just trading CS:GO for another game seems like a bad idea, it doesn't actually address the reason why you get addicted in the first place. Personally, I would recommend doing a Google-search for actual, proper services that help you deal with addiction; they know their shit, they'll give more constructive, long-term advice. You may have a natural affinity for gambling-addiction and it's best to deal with it now, rather than one day when you lose your house and car and end up on the street. At least you recognize you have a problem, I'm just worried about the path you're trying to take to deal with it.

 

You also didn't mention how old you are, but you do mention school: if you still live with your parents, it would be a good idea to ask them to get you some help with your addiction.

Stop playing it then

Some people are more prone to addictions than others ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addictive_personality ) and the thing with addictions is that they can even be completely impossible to shake without outside help. Going "Oh, just stop with it then!" just makes you look like a ignorant buffoon and it doesn't help anyone.

Take out your hard drive, your graphics card, and cpu.  

 

Put them into separate boxes and give each to a different individual to hold onto them somewhere that you don’t know. 

 

Buy the book “the social contract” or “the prince”

when you want to play cs go open the book and read it. Force yourself. 

Once you’ve read 15 pages of one of the books and if you’re still anxious to play, and it hurts you so-go outside and do “suicide” sprints back and fourth across your lawn.
