I had a bout with game addiction for almost my first two years of college. At some point, I decided to fight it, and devote myself not just to breaking that addiction, but being dedicated to retaining the ability to break any addiction I wanted to. I managed to survive college with dual BS degrees in mathematics and physics, and attend a prestigious graduate program in mathematics, although I had to pay my way via loans for two years because of the damage I did to my grades my first two years of college. I was secretly dejected after leaving graduate school after 4 years, but was fortunate to land in software engineering. I don't play too many games anymore just due to being busy, but I still am tied into the game industry due to my tight network of friends, many whom became successful in the game music industry, or games or music.
