Quitting games was probably the best thing that ever happened to me (without exaggeration) - my only regret is not having done it sooner.

  * Was it because you were addicted? * What games did you play? * What was missing, what did you end up doing instead? * Was the gaming you did social or not, challenging or not? That you made the right choice for yourself is great, but without any context, no one else can understand why it was good for you. It is likely not a universal truth.

    Great point, which hits on the problem of trying to extrapolate from anecdote. In retrospect, I should have clarified more so others can see if their circumstances approximated my own, and if they could then draw similar conclusions (full well recognizing the reliance upon anecdotal evidence to begin with).
