Description

In this very personal episode, I share my personal journey with video game addiction and its negative impact on my life and marriage. I explore the cultural significance of video games, the definition and criteria for addiction, and the consequences of excessive gaming. I emphasize the importance of recognizing addiction symptoms and offer insights on overcoming these challenges. I ultimately advocate for a balanced approach to gaming or ceasing gaming all together._____________________________What Is Marriage Isn’t Dead?Marriage Isn’t Dead is an organization focusing on practical self-improvement advice for marriage, dating, career, work/life balance, entrepreneurship, parenting, and a healthy lifestyle.Check out “Marriage Isn’t Dead” on all podcast platforms!YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarriageIsntDead?sub_confirmation=1 Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/marriageisntdead/⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555370507017⁠Email: ⁠scott@marriageisntdead.com⁠Chapters00:00 Intro01:03 Definition and Symptoms of Video Game Addiction03:08 Personal Experiences with Gaming Addiction05:07 Marvel Contest of Champions08:30 Marital Issues and Addiction10:05 Recognizing and Overcoming Addiction13:17 The Journey to Recovery and Self-Improvement14:30 Final Thoughts on Gaming and Life Choices
