- Overcoming video game addiction - the root cause revealed, so we can heal the root forever, instead of endlessly fighting the symptoms.
Only when we know the real cause, we can heal the root and therefor automatically liberate ourselves from every other ADDICTION-symptom too, like not being able to stop GAMING, cravings, moodiness, bad temper, loneliness, relational problems etc.
You don’t have to feel ashamed for the fact that you are addicted to something. Because without any exception, most people are first addicted to something or someone, before the real root of the problem arises. The only difference might be that some people are better in hiding their addictions behind a mask than others. Until their mask cracks obviously.
Only if we know what the real root of the problem is, we will know how we can STOP OUR GAME ADDICTION completely and for once and for all.
AN ADDICTION comes down to FEAR, fear for feeling what we would feel, without any distraction from gaming.
To end the root of the problem together with all it’s symptoms for once and for all, and therefor to shine the light onto our ‘dark’ addictions or fears, I came up with a drawing to show you.

I hope your videos will reach all the people in need.

Hi Petkes, thanks for your kind reaction. I'm glad the video gave you clarity!
Thank you man I really needed this.
wow, this was so revolutionary for me, thank you so much
I don’t have a addiction to video games. Though I play them every now and then. I’ve a addiction to distractions though.
Great explanation on any addiction. The subconscious mind plays a big role in any addictions. We might not realize that we have some kind of fear or insecurity deep down inside of us. There is some work to for me to do in identifying what is eating me inside. Your work needs more exposure and needs to be shared.
I am grateful for your eye opening video. Thank you for such a great video.
now i know the real cause of my video game addiction, thank you! this really helped me out
Great content! Thanks
I really like this content. This doesn't feel like an "infomercial", but rather like well thought out content.
Great video. This can be applied to any type of addiction I think.
You have talent to motivate people
Oh my god I’ve only watched the first 45 seconds and you’ve mentioned every single symptom I am currently experiencing. I know this video is gonna be good
Holy shit! I have just been thinking of why the hell was I so afraid (yes i said it to my self that word-fear) of stopping to play video games. And now I know a lot clearer why is it! It is time to start working on it from this day forward!
Hi Roman, to help you on your journey, I suggest you to watch the 4 videos that build upon this video at: www.alive-academy.com
Excelente explicación, gracias por compartir y ayudar, saludos desde Perú
Great video needs more sharing
I’ve been addicted to video games since 2007 i was 11 yrs old. Now im 24 and i do play still but not as much as i used to. I used to spend literally my entire day daily! on video games because that distraction filled up the pain/fears about my reality.
I'm 13 I used to be addicted to gaming I was so afraid that I would spend so much time on it I would wake up and be 20 with no memory of my life my dad is 38 or 39 and I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible than this video came along and I can do that now thank you
You are welcome, I'm glad you allow yourself the time with your dad now.
Team Squares your dads a kid still. 38? Lol. Kudos on waking up though as family trumps distractions.
@7:00 This is actually a brilliant checking method
I've been watching alot of informative videos about addiction and read up alot about it, and I must say that your explanation is very very on point. I feel like you speak out of experience which makes me very curious to your background.
Anyway thank you for this informal but very very informative and spiritual video!

How to quit game addiction. Look at successful people and analyze how they did it. Find long-term aspirations for yourself, set goals, plan rewards. Every day do something and tell family and friends what you did; ask them (really, ask them) to praise you for all little things you did right. Go chat up with people in the shops, get to know names, or even ask them out, seriously. Tell yourself life is like a game and when you seek pleasure outside the games, pleasure from the game becomes NOTHING, really. Gamify your life. Love, - A guy who was really addicted to games as a teenager but who is now leading a normal life -
I was addicted to video games. Maybe I am still addicted but now I have a schedule. I am also a youtuber gamer.
Do u think that is possible for me control my addiction in long term like I am doing?
I’m addicted to having the latest and greatest console. No joke, I feel angry that I can’t find a PS5 without paying a scalper. I know I don’t need the console, but I still want it. This video helped with that. I still have a lot to work on
Amazing video and I found answer to many questions.But, I am only 14 my parents keep very high hopes from me and I think I can easily fulfill them because I study for all my exams in 15 days and I can easily get 90%and above I know that if I study more I will get better marks and fulfill their dream.BUT then there is gaming.. I have so many good friends in the games and I have the FEAR of not playing games and leave my friends behind,when I try to study I just think of playing games and I don’t get an answer to this question
This is amazing!
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm! I’m glad it is serving you this way ❤️🙏🏻
Yes bro.
playing games taking too long is a problem, and quite a lot of it
My student who is a 14yo wants to find a good practical way to reduce and avoid his gaming addiction. I told him that moderation is the key. Any other possible path?
Hi John, thanks for your question. I made a video that might help you: czcams.com/video/PSAlkYySvWM/video.html Warm regards, Tom
Sometimes im really getting dumb so much i want to stop but i cant ai dont have a console but a phone and I just want to stop
I'll start facing my fears from now on man and You know what I will Throw my Power cable in the trash can and stop playing For a month
I once used to be gym goer in my youth, sadly I falled in the gaming and social media addiction. I miss my old me. I wish I have the balls to go to the gym again 😣
You have. The only thing you need to do is to get rid of possible unsolved feelings, that gaming make you forget about. Once you feel independently fulfilled from within again, than you will be able to choose in freedom again, without anything holding you back.

Ammoor Stingy Gym is just another addiction which you replaced with social media and games. Solve the root cause.
Incredibly telling video
I wanna stop gaming it's affecting my social life
I'm here because my parents keep calling me a failure and I dont want to disappoint them...
You will be thankful in the future. While your family still supports you I highly recommend self help, meditation whatever you really like and give up video games. It's not real, find who you really are.
my parents don't call me a failure but I still know they think I'm a failure
I never got called one, but I'm definitely one.
Little update I put games aside and went to college, currently 3 weeks in to my nursing program!
@@vexriki4265 good for you, Sean. Congrats. Good luck with your future endeavors 👍
Ahh man this is good
I dont have no fear but im still addicted .....but i do live anti social
You "don't have no fear". So you are fearful.
U might just saved my life
Thanks for sharing your appreciation!
Bhaaiya kya bol rahe ho kehna kya chahte ho...samjh nai aa raha
Can you manage a video game addiction without completely abandoning games? What I mean is can you recognize & manage your addiction while still playing games or would that be counterproductive? I play an MMO w\ clanmates, I'm invested, its a long term game, a second life on its own. I use it as escape from reality & its genuinely enjoyable (though habitual and addictive). Sorry if question is unclear. I would hate to abandon relationships (I consider my clanmates friends), and I have a feeling of accomplishment within game that I cannot get in the real world: is there an in-between, a middle ground where one can still play?
How do you keep a hobby from becoming an obsession\ distraction after fixing the root problems? (Sorry for double post)
Hi Grenn, thanks for your question. If you solve the root why you are addicted to video games would mean that you will keep feeling completely fulfilled independent of playing video games or not.
If you are independent than you could play games as a hobby. If you solve all of your fears and pains, than there would not be any limitation anymore either to create in real life the fulfilment that you get from a virtual reality. And a virtual reality is nothing compared to experiencing life to the fullest in real life. If you haven't subscribed to the more in depth videos: www.alive-academy.com
Everyone wants to know if there is a moderate way but the question is can you stop if you want to and is it making big problems in your life but you still dont quit . If the answer is No then you must quit 100% or not at all. Addiction is such that it always wants more and wont stop till it consumes you. Honestly you will have to come to a point where you see this second life as an obstacle to your happiness . The addiction has a way of warping your view so you view this 2nd life as something of real value and I know its hard to see it but in reality the value of it is way lower than it seems now and eventually you wont need nor want it if you struggle to quit and eventually succeed. I had the same thing with extreme porn -I couldnt see myself living without extreme fantasies -they were like my "friends" but Im begining to see it as something of way lower or no value at all anymore and I saw my perception of their value was warped by the addiction itself which does that to the mind.
Alive Academy isn't wrong, but as Socrates says, "Know thyself." If video games (your weakness) is (was) an addiction, then there's nothing of true value to be gained by just "teasing" yourself. Like any addiction, a drug addict isn't going to have just a little bit of drugs because he's been good and hasn't indulged in a long time. If someone is an alcoholic, the worst thing they can do is to reward themselves with a beer after a week of sobriety. You want to REPLACE those video game cravings with something else that will fulfill you and that's a healthy habit or activity
I deleted all my major social media no more Facebook Snapchat never did Instagram. I think phone addiction is the true problem
We can easily see wether something is an addiction or not. If we stop using or doing it and we keep feeling fulfilled, than we are using it out of free will, however, if we stop using or doing it and we start feeling irritated or restless, we are using it as a distraction from unsolved emotions (addiction).
It does make sense. I do feel anger all the time which I can not explain.
wow it really help
Ho 441 people out there who are currdntly in my situation
I do no social activites..i have no friends..people call me FAT, come to my house and punch me in the FACE....anddd..im also addicted to games, but i think gaming is my talent..cuz every game i go play i always get to like 2.3M (whatever game currency) in just like 2 days,3 hours, 2 hours SOMETIMES EVEN ONE HOUR xd
You helped me

To many a question of balance... "...some games are innocent, and if pursued for pastime there is no harm. But there is danger that pastime may degenerate into waste of time. Waste of time is not acceptable..." ~ Abdul-Baha, Baha'i Faith

@@pugtortuga3406 you are dumb wow
I need a new controller, that's why i lost!
You sound Dutch klopt dat
Dat klopt ;-)
haha duidelijk accent
your very funny
Just find a gf guys and you will have no appetite for video games. When you find a gf you get to a state where you are concsious about the wasted time you wasted on video games. But don't quit the relationship and definitely don't play games. After you get close to the social world you basically lose the need to play vgames.
Just like video games, can relationships be a distraction from our unsolved issues , which will only postpone the enjoyment of the creation of the intended authentic life we are born for. To help you even more with the direction towards the solutions together with the tools to get you past any kind of fear along the steps to true liberation, I created a temporary free course @ bit.ly/383f9IB Enjoy your liberation process!
Trying to quit fortnite 😂
Alive Academy- No offense, but I'm sure you realize that your video will anger a lot of people right now. With society and many other services shut down what do you expect people to do? That's NO excuse either, covid 19 is a tough reality for everyone!
I'm 43 and video games are a daily part of my life and I love being a gamer more now than ever. In your video you imply that people use video games as a distraction to masquerade their real issues, this is definitely NOT me! Do you really believe that companies like Ubisoft, Activision and Bethesda spend millions of dollars to create lies and deception on a physical disc? God help you if you do! Gambling and alcoholism are far, far worse addictions than video games!
And I am only 11
its kinda funny i play games alot but i have a great relationship with my family and wife dont have any point of lonlyness
There is nothing wrong with playing video games. You only are addicted to f.e. video games, if you stop and you start feeling restless, irritated, bored or angry, and start to look for some form of distraction.
ya but how you was putting it. it was like just cuz you play video games you will always have a bad relationship if not with your family then with your friends and if not with them then with your lover but addiction is just something that happen when you feel the need that your live isnt going the way you want to or the way you think it should go
