Hello everyone!
I wanted to tell you guys that I have been clean of playing games on my pc for more than 7 months! (Actually 7 months, 8 days and 2 hours hehe...yes I created a timer!). And I feel totally renewed. I wanted to write this post when I felt that I had completely gone over it, and today I feel I totally overcame my addiction. I am really blessed because if you read my story it had been going on for many, many years (more than 27 -yes twenty seven- years of addiction, ruined my own company, lots of stuff...) more on that here: http://olganon.org/?q=node/41998
Anyway, it has been a long process, but I think it has been easier than I thought and I had lots of help from my family, especially my wife. Each day without playing became easier to handle since I was doing more things like practicing sports, getting busy with my company again, etc.
Thank you for this wonderful community and thank God for helping me live through this to learn so much and be humble in the process.
best best regards and thanks

That's great news!
Thanks for giving hope to the rest of us :)
Thanks everyone!! Keep be-living in yourselves and strive to find reasons for your life, gaming will soon become a thing of the past!
My strength, my decision and my results are all thanks to five great things:
The support from my wifeThe desire to spend more time with my 4 year old sonDedicating more time for my spiritual lifeExercising daily (at least 6 times per week!)Starting my business from scratch and going at it with passion
It's incredible, after leaving gaming I have lots more time to do all the five things above and still have time to work (currently an employee while my business really takes off). And spend quality time with my loved ones.
Thank you for your support, thanks for the advice and if I can help anyone, please contact me, I will more than gladly offer my help and support!

Thank you for giving great hope and inspiration, be-living! Very glad you're living again and that you put that as your top priority and not gaming!!! Good luck with your new business and cherish every minute and every second of your life with your loved ones! Keep us posted!
Hugs,
