I can't tell you how many countless times I have played a game on the computer instead of doing something far more important. Usually the something far more important has been studying. I'm strongly considering handing my computer to a roommate and asking him to hide it from me until the semester is over so I won't have the temptation anymore.

I'm taking in five weeks a number of classes that would normally be taken over the course of four months. I should be studying instead of playing games. I know that. I think that even when I'm playing the games. I keep playing anyway. Does that make me an addict? As I understand addiction, its where one's habitual practice becomes detrimental and the person can't change even though they may want to. If there such a thing as being addicted to something other than drugs... for me it would seem to be these games. It doesn't even matter what games... I can delete every real game from my computer and I'll still play solitaire. I might be well away from my computer, and I'll pull out my phone and start playing tetris.

I really don't know what to do... other than to work readjusting my willpower so that the will to not play can over take the will to lethargy.
