1. Kudos to you (OP) for recognizing that things may be getting a bit out of control. That takes courage. 2. Thanks for sharing on here...there may be many who have similar concerns. That openness took real courage! 3. In moderation - is a good goal to aim for in many areas that consume our time and tastes. 4. Reduce your play time, over time, rather than attempt immediate withdrawal. 5. Don't replace one questionable activity with another (potentially addictive) one. 6. Try something different, e.g., reading a book you've always wanted to or meant to! Learn to read music...pick up that guitar, etc... 7. Go easy on yourself - it's a marathon NOT a sprint! 8. Rinse & Repeat steps 3-8, as required! Good luck...and...take it easy! Pax
