After a long time relaxing in summer now I go back to school. Today I am going to talk about addiction. Personally, I think there are some good addiction. For instance, eating healthy and exercising everyday are good addiction because they are basically good things to your health. however, I can not deny that most of the addiction are bad as addicted to alcohol smoke, v.v. Actually, I also had an addiction that was game addiction. Through the summer break I just played game and ate unhealthily, I played game about 8 hours a day, sometime I played game from night to the next morning. Additionally, I slept 4 to 5 hours a day, so I felt my health was significantly weak.
About one month ago, I realized that I could not stop playing game. Some how I suddenly felt boring when I played game and I gradually changed that activity to watch tv show and read books. My big problem is I have too much time because I quitted my job, but now I go back to school and become busy with homework. That is how I overcome the addiction, maybe I will play someday, however I will limit as much as I can. Absolutely, I am also addicted to cellphone because I must check my email from college, and message from my family and my friends, so I can not go anywhere without cellphone. I tried to go to the marker without phone, and you know what my dad and my sister just focused on buying food and they to call me but I didn’t have phone by my side so we took a little bit of time to find each other. After that I came home to find my phone, there was a lot of mail and message that I missed, so I’m really sure I will go out with my phone to make sure. That experiment made me scare if my family call to help or some thing I can’t answer them, but I am trying to reduce the time using cellphone. In short, I think there are something that you can’t miss because the necessary and useful of those things, and it became to the addiction.
I’m really proud of you Liem for trying to cut back on your gaming time! I know that is probably a difficult thing to do especially since you enjoy it so much. It can definitely be an addiction- and probably not a good addiction. It uses up a lot of time that could be spent doing other things. I feel that way about tv watching sometimes- I spend WAY too much time watching Netflix when I should be doing other things.

Thank you Ms.Kym, my family was surprised as I said I stopped playing game, and they asked me “Are you ok?” and I felt like hmm! Yes I’m good, what’s wrong? Maybe they were familiar with I played game because I have been playing game since I was 7 years old.
