Well, I'm not sure I do suffer from video games addiction but whenever I start playing a game I have a really hard time to stop playing it. I feel like my brain gets extremely excited and so I stop thinking about basic things like eating, drinking or going to the toilet. It's like by playing I am overwriting this basic functionality of my brain. When this happens and I don't control myself, I can play for hours and hours, usually all night long (which is something I would never do in any other situation, I love resting in a bed). It's happened before being able to continuously play for almost 24h without that basic functionality I talked about. There's always a time when I actually get in control again and decide to stop, usually by uninstalling the game right away to avoid doing it again anytime soon. I then get a really big headache/hangover. As such, I avoid doing it but it still happens once every one or two years, it depends on Sid Meier's productivity, if you know what I mean. (Yeah, this November is going to be hard on me.)
I'm ok with games with a small duration, casual games with a completion time of up to 5/10 minutes. I play chess or Carcassonne sometimes and when the game ends I'm done and just fine.
