Am I a video gaming addict?
Only you can make this assessment. We use the term gaming addict to describe our condition of having an obsession and compulsion to game, which grows worse over time, and an inability to limit our gaming, despite all the trouble and losses it causes. This questionnaire should give you some food for thought and act as a guide to assess your own situation.
GAA has meetings for recovery from video game addiction through phone, smartphone, or computer using software like Zoom, Mumble, and Skype. Anyone who thinks he or she might have a gaming problem is welcome to come listen or participate.

The GAA program presents an array of tools, including meetings, a network of mutual support, sharing of experience, sponsorship, service work, useful literature, helpful slogans, avoiding temptations, recognition of game-free time, and the Twelve Steps. Each member is free to choose which tools he or she is ready to try, at his or her own pace, with no coercive pressure from others.
