Gaming Addiction Support Group
There's now a support group for anyone who feels they've become addicted to gaming (of any type-- role-playing, video games, MMORPG's, etc.). This is a serious issue that is coming up more and more; we are beginning to see GA's directly addressing this topic.
Addiction to anything is serious; being part of a group of people struggling to overcome a like addiction or strong temptation can help greatly.

I'm not addicted. I can quit at any time. But not until after I have a few thousand more posts.

I've heard such groups exist but I suppose if I wanted to find one I'd start by googling it. Maybe a set of search words like "gaming addiction" "support group" and then the name my local area like the city or county. (Using the quotes makes Google search for the whole word set instead of words like gaming and addiction separately.)
I have struggled with this issue in the past, and I know how consuming it can be. I used to be hooked on Internet chats. Bad mojo.
