This book is an accumulation of various gaming addiction stories from real people. You might laugh or you might cry when you read lines like this: "By now TK and Keith had full blown World of Warcraft addictions by any definition ranging from telling girlfriends they were going to bed and then staying up ten more hours to game to actually getting their girlfriend to play World of Warcraft with them." You might laugh or roll your eyes when you read quotes such as "I wondered how many times I could handle failing like this before I just gave up and settled for the first fugly bitch that came along and wanted to get married?" I have compiled these stories to not only help people with gaming addictions but also to bring an understanding to family members and friends of gamers. There are so many aspects of gaming addiction and these stories encompass various people's walks with playing excessive amounts of addicting games. This book is not a traditional book. You may want to jump around to different chapters in any order to find what stories most relate to you. I have saved my own story for last and would love for you to check it out. Female gamers might get the most out of reading Chapter 4 which is a story written by a nineteen year old female. Chapter 5 is about a high school boy who now has to get dentures because of his gaming habits. He has turned his life around and joined the Army. For anyone who has doubts about gaming addictions please read chapter 8 which includes numerous short stories about gaming addiction and can give you a quick look at what different gamers go through. I encourage you to read all stories and get a better understanding of what gaming addicts go through. The idea with this book is to share stories and to gain a complete perspective on the good, bad, and the ugly of playing too many addicting games. I hope you will submit your story at gamingaddiction.net after you read this story so that future editions of this book will offer even more value than this first edition!

Folks adore gaming, and that's not always a disgusting thing. Whether played on a hand-held platform, a PC, or a TV, the games might supply hours of silent fun. It is well known that the games might advance PC skills and greater eye-hand coordination partakers. However, Video games are psychologically "unruffled." When an individual makes a mistake, no one else sees (contrary to the public abjection of, say, striking out in a real life baseball game). Nonetheless gaming bears a few downsides. Besides being truly costly, many in demand games engross vivid sex and aggression. Perhaps most bothersome, they might be especially habit-forming. And as a result any individual might become "obsessed" to gaming, and any folks with AD/HD become visible to be at specific risk. In this book "Game Addiction: The Untold Stories of Game Addiction... the Experience, the Effects and Game Addiction Treatment" you will be exposed to the danger of gaming and the treatment if you are already an addict!

WARNING: THIS VIDEO GAME MAY IMPAIR YOUR JUDGMENT. IT MAY CAUSE SLEEP DEPRIVATION, ALIENATION OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY, WEIGHT LOSS OR GAIN, NEGLECT OF YOUR BASIC NEEDS AS WELL AS THE NEEDS OF LOVED ONES AND/OR DEPENDENTS, AND DECREASED PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB. THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN FANTASY AND REALITY MAY BECOME BLURRED. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUICIDE ATTEMPTS. No such warning was included on the latest and greatest release from the Warcraft series of massive multiplayer online role-playing games—World of Warcraft (WoW). So when Ryan Van Cleave—a college professor, husband, father, and one of the 11.5 million Warcraft subscribers worldwide—found himself teetering on the edge of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, he had no one to blame but himself. He had neglected his wife and children and had jeopardized his livelihood, all for the rush of living a life of high adventure in a virtual world. A fabulously written and gripping tale, Unplugged takes you on a journey through the author's semireclusive life with video games at the center of his experiences. Even when he was sexually molested by a young school teacher at age eleven, it was the promise of a new video game that had lured him to her house. As Ryan's life progresses, we witness the evolution of video games—from simple two-button consoles to today's multikey technology, brilliantly designed to keep the user actively participating. For Ryan, the virtual world was a siren-song he couldn't ignore, no matter the cost. As is the case with most recovering addicts, Ryan eventually hit rock bottom and shares with you his ongoing battle to control his impulses to play, providing prescriptive advice and resources for those caught in the grip of this very real addiction.

When Olivia Bruner saw video games overtaking her young sons' lives, she decided to learn the facts behind addiction. What she found was shocking: that most games are designed to be highly addictive-triggering physiological reactions in the brain similar to those associated with substance abuse-and that one out of five kids becomes addicted to computer and video games. And while many parents screen the content of games to protect their children from violent and sexual themes, few understand the forces causing their children to become hooked on the "digital drug." This book arms parents with the facts they need and concrete steps to protect our children from this very real epidemic. A must-read for all parents.

An eleven-year-old boy strangled an elderly woman for the equivalent of five dollars in 2007, then buried her body under a thin layer of sand. He told the police that he needed the money to play online videogames. Just a month later, an eight-year-old Norwegian boy saved his younger sister's life by threatening an attacking moose and then feigning death when the moose attacked him--skills he said he learned while playing World of Warcraft. As these two instances show, videogames affect the minds, bodies, and lives of millions of gamers, negatively and positively. This book approaches videogame addiction from a cross-disciplinary perspective, bridging the divide between liberal arts academics and clinical researchers. The topic of addiction is examined neutrally, using accepted research in neuroscience, media studies, and developmental psychology.

This is a book everyone should read. Woolley's book about her son's journey into the dark depths of gaming disorder is a heartbreaking account and analysis of the progression from normal to full-blown addiction. This book captures the darkness of video gaming addiction and the details that are missing in our cultural conversation about this issue. It uncovers the massive entertainment industry's greed-fueled assault on our children and cultures, world-wide. The World Health Organization now recognizes video game addiction as a mental disorder. This diagnosis acknowledges that there is a public health and public safety crisis. Addictions manifest in a myriad of forms, but the most insidious are the socially acceptable ones. Although not every family will have their lives altered as tragically as the Woolley family, the effects of video gaming addiction are serious and devastate families worldwide. Thank you Liz for using your insight and God given strength to write a painful but clear warning to all parents of video gamers and users of other technology - cell phones, I-pods, I-pads, tablets, etc. This book is presented in three different formats: 1) Full color Sponsor Edition 8"by10" 2) Black and White 6" by 9"and 3) Full color eBook. This book's format is Black and White 6" by 9".
