I used to be addicted to video games. When I was in high school, I was shy, insecure, and I didn’t have a lot of friends. I used video games in order to escape how I was feeling inside.

In this video, Stefan shares with you how to overcome video game addiction.
This is something that affects people of all ages, especially teens and pre-teens. Studies estimate that 10-15% of gamers exhibit signs that meet the World Health Organization’s criteria for addiction.
The virtual fantasy world enables you to connect with real people through the Internet, as a substitute for real-life human connection.
Stefan used to spend hours/day playing video games. He was totally immersed in it. For him, it was a way to escape the real world.
Once he broke free of video game addiction, his life changed forever.

#VIDEOGAMES #VIDEOGAMEADDICT #ADDICTION #INSPIRATION
Hey, everyone. Stefan here from projectlife
mastery.com. In this video, I’m
going to talk to you a little bit about
how to overcome video game addiction. Now,
video game addiction is something that
affects a lot of people, especially a lot
of young people. It was something that really
affected my life all throughout high school.
In fact, to give you guys an idea, I used
to spend literally from the moment that
I woke up to the moment that I went to
bed playing video games. I would play it
all day, everyday. I was totally immersed
in it. A lot of days during school where
I’ve skipped school to go home and play
video games. For me, it was a way to
escape. I think that’s ultimately
what I realized that pushed me over the
edge to want to make the change and get
away from it because the reality was, in
my life at the time when I was in high
school, I wasn’t a popular kid. I didn’t
have very many friends. I was very shy.
I was very insecure. As a result of
that, I would get picked on. I’d
get bullied from time to time. I moved
high schools quite a bit.
Often times, when you’re a weak target and
you don’t defend yourself, then
people will attack you even more because
they know that you’re not going to fight
back. They just see you as a
target to elevate themselves, to elevate
their own status and make themselves
look cool.
For me, I was very unhappy with my
life. I was very depressed and so I used
video games to escape because video
games is a different world. It’s a
different universe where you can be
whoever you want to be. You
could start from scratch.
You can create your own persona. You can
become very good at it. You can meet your
needs from significance. You can meet
your needs through connection and meet
friends, and feel like you’re
important and unique, and you’re somebody.
That’s what it was the case
for me because I felt like a nobody in
high school. I was insignificant to
everybody else but online,
because I spent so much time doing it,
I was the best. I remember
certain games that I played where I
literally was the best. I was the
guy that people looked up to.
I’d take out
everybody. I was a part of
different teams and whatnot.
I was very skilled so I felt very confident,
and it’s meeting my needs in
totally different ways. I was
living these two different worlds.
There’s real life and then there is
this fantasy world of online that didn’t
really exist, but it was just an illusion.
It was very detrimental for me, and
it can be very negative to a lot of
people because for me what it was doing,
it was forcing me
to escape the reality, the truth of my
life. Instead of confronting my life,
the problems, and the depression, and the
issues that I had, I didn’t face it. I
would just distract myself.
As a result of that, I would become more
antisocial, right? The more time
you play video games … It’s a very antisocial
thing. You’re just in front of the computer all day.
It was disconnecting me from real people,
friendships. It was just
also a waste of time when I look at it
as well because I looked at the years
that I spent playing video games in high
school, I looked back and I’m like, “Man,
what do I have to show for that?”
I got nothing to show for that. I spent so much
time … My high school years is
just a blur.
At the end of your life,
or 10, or 20 years, you’re not going to remember
these little video games and these
little adventures and stuff that you
went on that were so cool at the time.
You’re not building anything of any
value. I often think, man, if I spent
that time instead of playing video games,
I actually spent it improving my body, or
my emotions, or self-development or
building a business, man, I would
be like worth tens of millions of
dollars today if I had started that
process and the amount of time that I
spent doing that and just replaced it
with self-development. I often
think about that. I can understand
how it’s a problem because video game
companies, they’re designed to suck you in.
They’re set up in a way that all
your needs get met through these video
games, especially online games.
Online games are crazy now. It’s like
people date and meet each other and get
married online. It’s like all
your needs are being met online, and you
no longer need the real world. In
fact, with
virtual reality, the way it is now and
the way it’s going, I’m actually
very concerned about that because
virtual reality … Imagine a future
where you don’t need to live real
life anywhere because you could just
put on a virtual headset, and you can
live however you want to live in this
virtual world, especially the porn
industry now … I mean, the porn industry is
what built the Internet to where
it is.
I mean, with VR, the porn industry is
going to go to a whole new level. I’m
actually very hesitant with some things
because I know how addictive it can get.
You got to be very careful with that.
With that being said, how do
you overcome video game addiction?
How did I overcome it? Well, to give you guys
an idea, I overcame it when I was 17
years old. As I mentioned, it was like
my life all throughout high school. My
friends played video games. I had online
friends.
Even when I went to school, to
give you guys an idea,
on my breaks and lunch break, I played
video games. In fact, I remember times my parents,
my dad, they would try to ban me from
the computer. When
everybody went to sleep or my parents
went to work, I would sneak home
from school or I would get out of
bed to go downstairs so I could play video
games in the computer that we had. It
was a real big problem. How did I
overcome it?
Well, the way that you change anything
in your life is by making a decision, a
decision to change where you
decide that no more. You’re
going to cut this off for good, and
you’re going to pursue whatever else
instead.
Often times, in order for us to make
these decisions in your life, you have to
get to a certain point, a point that I
often call emotional threshold. It’s that
point where you just get to a point
where there’s so much pain associated to
the previous behavior, which is
video games, where you associate so much
pain to that that you finally make a decision
to change your life and get rid of it
for good.
You’re no longer going to look back. You’re only
going to move forward. For me, to be
honest with you, what sparked that change
when I was 17 years old was a girl.
When I was 17 years old, I was in love
with this girl
who actually I lost my
virginity to when I was 16 years old.
I was totally in love with this girl.
I thought she was the one. She broke
my heart. I was devastated over this. I
was in the position where looking at my
life then, there was girls in school that
I had a crush on, and I just didn’t have
any confidence to pursue them. There was
the cool guys that I’d see, the
popular kids. They would always
have girlfriends and then friends and
whatnot. I looked at myself and I was
like, “I don’t have any friends.” I was
just very depressed,
unhappy. It took me finally looking
in the mirror. Instead of escaping,
and trying to hide, and distract myself, I
looked myself dead in the mirror and I
said, “Never again. This has to change and
it will change right now no matter what.”
I looked at the mirror and I made a
decision that I will no longer ever
again in my life settle. I’ll no longer
settle for less that I can be.
I’ll no longer going to settle for a life
that I’m unhappy with. I’m no longer
going to settle being alone in my life,
not having friends, being insecure, not
having confidence, living this life.
What really pushed me
over the edge when I realized, man, what’s
my life going to be like in five years
from now or ten years from now if I
continue down this path? What’s
it going to be like? I’m going to be even more
alone, even more isolated, even more
unhappy with myself. The stacking of
that, that pain of facing the truth … I
believe guys the truth will set you free.
You get to the truth, man, you can change
anything in your life. Most people,
they don’t want to face the truth because it
hurts. It doesn’t feel good. It feels
uncomfortable because you have to admit
to yourself that you’re not enough. You
have to admit to yourself that
you’re not happy. If you can get to
the truth, you can confront that pain. That
pain can drive you to make that decision
to change and it did for me. When I
made that decision, I got rid of my
PlayStation at the time.
I got rid of it. I sold it. Got rid
of all my games. I got rid of my TV. I
remember that I didn’t get rid of the TV
right away but I just disconnected it.
I was like, “You know what? I’m going to
disconnect my TV.” I played online games
on my computer so I played a lot of
Diablo II. I sold my accounts. I got rid of
everything. I made like a hundred
bucks for these years that I spent
building up these accounts and stuff.
I didn’t really get much of a return for
it. I made that decision. Then,
often times, if you want to break free of
an addiction,
you got to replace it with an empowering
alternative. For me, what was that
empowering alternative? It was self
-development. It was realizing that I
could change. I was very blessed
because at that time of my life, I got
exposed to Tony Robbins and the whole
self-help industry. I realized that I
could improve myself. I can be who I want
to be. I can be that popular guy in
school. I can be that guy that
could date that beautiful girl.
I could be that person who’s
successful one day. The sky is the
limit. I got obsessed with
self-development. I replaced one
addiction for another. My addiction to video
games became my addiction to improve
myself, to change my life.
Specifically because I got hurt by this
girl and I went through a lot of pain
with that, I realize I’m going to make my focus
improving myself and developing
confidence, and social skills, and be able
to date attractive women in my life, and
to get a girlfriend. I got
into that. I replaced all of that
with this pursuit of self-development.
I’m improving my confidence, social skills,
dating skills. I remember at the time I
discovered David DeAngelo. He had a great
eBook called Double Your Dating. I read
this book like 20 times. I kid you not. I
printed out the eBook. I read it again
and again. I made total different
changes. I went out and I started
approaching women.
I went out to nightclubs when I was
19 years old, and facing my fears, and did
public speaking classes, and improv
classes. I read hundreds of books. I do
morning rituals and writing
up my affirmations everyday, and my life
changed.
That was the beginning
foundation of who I am today. I’m now 30
years old and I never looked back. Never
look back, guys. Now, has there been times since
where I’ve played some video games? Yeah.
I actually have a PS4. I don’t
play it much to be honest with you guys. I got
it more so because I enjoy now playing
socially with friends. I have
friends over for example. You could see my
TV back there. We’ll play like UFC
or NBA 2K. To be honest with you, I
actually get bored with a lot of video
games today, especially these like … I used
to love role playing games, but I get
bored of them now because they’re just
such a … It’s such a process, man,
to finish a game. The
amount of hours you got to put in is
just insane. There’s sometimes where
I’d play like a cellphone
game or something like that. I don’t
use it as a distraction.
I don’t use it … I think you
can have video games in your life. I
think if it becomes an addiction,
detrimental to your life, a distraction and
you can’t stop, and it’s destroying your
life, that can be a very negative thing.
I think having some balance can actually
be good. How do you overcome it, guys? It’s
making that decision. It’s getting to
that point where you decide that
continuing playing video games is
costing you in your life and it’s
creating a lot of pain in your life.
Coming to that truth and that realization
and associating to the consequences of
what this is costing you in your life.
How is playing video games everyday
costing your life? Well, I can tell you
this much. Playing video games everyday
is costing you money. You’re spending
money on it, but also you’re spending
your time, which is worth a lot of money.
In fact, you’re spending time which you
could use to build a business to make more
money to create the life that you really
want. In fact, often times I call your TV
or your video games, electronic
income reducing machine. The
more time you spend doing it, you’re
losing money. You’re losing the potential
of earning more money. Realizing that
it’s costing you money,
you’re wasting away valuable time that
you could spend improving yourself, going
adventures, learning,
having intimate relationships
with real human beings. All these
different things are incredibly valuable.
Also, it can link to
depression, and anxiety, stimulation
overload. Realizing the negative
consequences associated to it, getting to
a point where you decide, “You know what?
Never again.” You got to make a real
decision. A real decision has to be you
got to get rid of it. You got to get it out
of the house. Sell it. Do whatever you got
to do. Give it to a friend. Give it away.
Get rid of it. Sell your accounts. Close
it down. Get banned. Set up software so
that it disables you from even
using it. Again, you got to
replace it. Replace it with something
else. There’s going to be times where you’re
going to feel bored, or
stressed, or alone, or depressed and you’re
going to want to go to that crux that
you’ve used in the past which is video
games to escape and to feel good.
You got to have an alternative. The
alternative, you got to make a list. Maybe
the list is I’m going to read. I’m going to watch
a documentary. I’m going to go for a run.
I’m going to go to the gym. I’m going to go fo
a walk.
I’m going to take a bath. I’m going to get on
the rebound or I’m going to watch a YouTube video.
I’m going to do something more empowering
with my time to replace it. Guess
what’s going to happen. Now, the time
that you’re spending … There are positive
sustainable things that are going to
make you a better person in the process.
When you look back … For me, I
look back from 17 years old to 30 years
old today. The time that I spent, I spent
it wisely. I am who I am today
because of the last 13 years of my life
what I’ve done everyday, the rituals,
the books I’ve read. That’s made me who I
am. I’m excited about what
I’m doing today, what that’s going to
lead to another five, or 10, or 20 years
from now.
That’s the game changer,
guys. That’s how you overcome it.
That’s what worked for me. It’s got to
come down to that decision, and you
got to start to realize the pain that is
causing it in your life and associate to it,
create the alternative, associate
pleasure to that process and sure enough
you’ll develop a new addiction. That new
addiction will set you free and lead you
down the path of a lot more enjoyment,
fulfillment, less distraction. It’s going to
force you to go through uncomfortable
emotions that you don’t want to face and
confront. By facing it, you’re going to
become a better person in the process.
That’s my strategy. That’s my cure for
overcoming video game addiction. If you

I play an average 3h
You confirmed my thoughts and suspicions about my boyfriend. I feel like he’s gonna miss a lot of milestones of his son. He’s already missing some right now but I update him at times. But now it’s getting to tiresome to keep asking him to interact or pay attention. We are going separate ways soon and once we do there will be peace. This I know for a fact. What hurts the most is right after we came from the hospital from the birth of our son he slid right into the sofa to play. While I struggled to recover on my own. And this is after he swore he would not do that to me. Anyhow I’m done. I’m always in bed alone so enough is enough.
i just want to say thank you
Because of this guy im changing
I dont wanna be addicted anymore:(
I uninstalled all my games with Steam while listening him in the background.. needed this for so long.
today i started to follow him sure i will reply this comment after few years wish me good luck !
I needed this… Been playing games all my life, 4 years ago my father passed away due to brain cancer. The last time I saw him in hospital in his bed, he said to me “son you finally found time to leave your computer?” My own further saw me as a gamer, a lazy good for nothing gamer… And he was correct, 3 days later he passed away… I never did spend much time with my own father, he offered to take me to the beach, go for dinner…. Sorry father I’m bit busy. Maybe tomorrow? I was busy getting a new level on league, or camping for mounts on wow. I choose to ignore my father to just play games….. Now his gone.
I know this is a long message, and some of you may read it and go. Lol. But please spend time with your family. Games can be paused and online games you can just risk it. Because when they are gone, and all you have left to show is your rank?
If I can do it. So can you.
Thank you for reading
I love you dad, am sorry I didn’t spend time with you.
i might fear that this will also happen to me
Stay strong man life goes on
I’m really sorry for your dad.
This hit me so hard. I can really relate, and I am so sorry you have to deal with this. I just hope you are living your best life now, and is making your dad proud. I know I need to start doing the same. Right now. I spent hours a day wasting time on CSGO.
Sorry to hear.
Even I had the past where I only remember video games.Thats so horrible.Thank you for making this video
Thank you very much for these tips. <3
I need to stop. I have to stop. I need to change. I’m starting tomorrow Wish me luck please.
Ready player one was a really good movie but I sometimes wonder if thats what our world would be in the future.
I wish i tackled this earlier, im 25 now. it definetely interfered with my highschool and college studies, not to the point of failing, but i should have excelled it if wasn’t for spending so much time in videogames. I’m getting my dentistry degree soon, but i feel i should have studied harder in order to be more competent and provide a great service…
The moment this video started I just deleted all of my games
I’ll be making a change, starting now
Thank you
I really want to get rid of my gaming addiction, i don’t spend time with my family, all I do is play video games, that’s why I’m watching this video, wish me luck
I am a mom of a 16 year old boy. We just took his gaming computer away. I hope cold turkey is okay, but we’ve had enough. He was really turning into a different and mean, dark person.
As a 16 year old boy who has an addiction to video games, the sooner the better, I just stumbled across this video and I’m realizing these games are changing me into someone I know nor me, my family, or my friends are going to want me to become.
music really helps me play less games.
U JUST CHANGED MY LIFE TYSM !
I am giving my all to stop my addiction to gaming
Thanks alot man, when I’m older I want to become a professional footballer but video games have been half of my entire life. I spent time obviously practising and training and all the research.
But I feel like I’m not doing enough and enough to get were I actually want to be (big league ext) and so I watched this vide and trust me, I feel much more in the mood to stop.
I need to reach my absolute maximum limit in my development and get completely out of my comfort zone of shyness to be the best person I can be
I finally was able to quit thanks to you am so glad I was able to do it at 12
This is day one of trying to overcome my video game addiction. I need to focus on my grades more. I will update this comment every few days or every week.
I just wanna stop playing Videogames in the morning, I’m fine with school, it’s just that I play Videogames in the morning.
How do I do if all my friends play videogames a lot I want to stay with them in the pandemic but all I can do is to play with them. One of my parents has covid riskso I can’t go outside and risk getting infected. I have a lot of friends but I also play games everyday for like 2hrs.
I wanted to stop playing and 2 weeks I haven’t touched anything. I went outside with a friend. But my city is now carantinized and I can’t do anything.

Thank you for making this video, I had a period of time when I was younger that I did have a Sims addiction, but the last few months I have been very depressed and been withdrawing into games on my phone. This video helped me realize that I need to face my reality and connect with people to solve my problems because games are not going to make anything better. I’m making this decision today thank you!
Omg thank you for helping me and I promise that I will be the best I can be
woww finally someone understands me
Yeah this is hitting home in 2021.
Thank you so much man,your speach made me really want to change my life!

I watched cuz my mom grounded me for playing video games
My life is changing from this day
I’m extremely addicted to games. My younger brother is as well even more but my problem is I don’t get off when I’m supposed to. It’s been going on since 5th grade. It’s just like drugs which in turn can take away your life. I’m worried that I will end up down that path and addiction runs in my family I really need help.
My name is Javier Garcia and I’m addicted to FIFA. I will OVERCOME my gaming addiction I will CHANGE my life!! I will IMPROVE myself!!

i also play games to escape reality
Goodluck for me and to the other people who is trying to change for their own good.
I watched this right after watching a video about how to stop being lazy.
If that doesn’t say something about a man’s life, I don’t know what would.
wow you just explained my whole life to an absolute point.
Been fighting video game addiction for 8 years now since I finished highschool, still at it….
Im 28 now, playing dota since im 11 years old. Quit dota now. Bye invoker. For better life ❤️
My grade 11 grades were horrible and I really think it’s because of video games and procrastination. I have been getting c pluses and I want to spend more time with my family. I also want to get better grades so here I am wish me luck and get me out of my addiction
I love video games. Always have, always will. I I will admit that I have a problem with them. Like you I spent my high school years sucked into my games. I now realize that like leveling up my Skyrim player, I need to level up myself
he just described my life im always getting picked on and i dont have friends, i really need to take a break
Hope its going well
So, the actual reason why i cant really stop playing videogames is pretty much because most of my friends are. Out of all my ”friends”, i only really have 1 that actually cares about me. My online friends are almost as loyal as the friend i metioned before, and since im not a very sociable person, they help me alot to deal with my social anxiety. Having this dependency on my online friends, clearly made me also addicted to videogames, but if i quit i would lose a big part of myself. I dont even enjoy singleplayer games anymore, eve tho i kinda like to be alone alot of times. At this point, i dont even know what to do to my life, i always imagine how it is going to be in the future and all that, but i never really remember to open my eyes to the truth, which is that i wont get anywhere i want if i keep going like this.
Good luck to everyone that is attempting this
Cool
I think the biggest reason for alot of people isnt just the escape but the goal setting. Games are made to keep you engaged by giving you goals and then making you feel accomplished when its done after having a good time doing it.
The amout of specific information and clarification in this video was Incredible. <3
fck the real world. I want to be happy. I don’t need to prove myself to anyone. Happiness over success.
What does happiness mean to you?
@Project Life Mastery to be healthy and have a good relationship with people
i needed this :’) my mum keeps picking on my already-messed up future
You have the power to change your life! What is the first step that you can take to curb your video game addiction?
I will start changing my life from this moment. Games are illusion and painful on the long term. My main reason to play was escaping from reality, but today I feel failure and guilt for playing all the time. I will stop playing and find better alteranatives.
Good luck with this. Any ideas on what you’ll focus on instead? This can really help.
I’m going to try this. I play about 17 hours of gaming a day. I don’t remember the last time I’ve gotten a good sleep etc. wish me luck
Good luck Yee. Hope it goes well, keep me updated on progress.
The hard part is, I have no one to break my heart
Can you share more about what you mean by this? Im here to help 🙏
@Project Life Mastery People are too kind in the games I play, I can’t leave them.
My boyfriend is addicted to Valorant but he doesn’t admit it. It’s very difficult to be with an addicted. He say’s I’m crazy but he never prioritizes our relationships 🙁 i don’t think we can be together anymore
I’m sorry to hear that his video game addiction is affecting your relationship. At the end of the day, he needs to want to seek help. Until he is able to recognize it as a problem in his life, change will be difficult. Have you thought about sharing my overcoming video addiction video with him?
Thanks man
You’re welcome! Do you struggle with a video game addiction? If so, how did my video help you? 🙏
