I am addicted to an online game. Its called League of Legends. I almost ruined 2 and half years of my college on that. I'm on my third year of college and I still am not able to get over the game. I'm staying up late playing till 3 and not being able to do the normal things. I dont know how to get over the game. Im very addicted to it. I'm becoming more aggressive and i lose my head very easily. Even if I delete the game I'm forced by myself to install it again. Its impossible with or without it.

Your addiction is becoming an obsessive-compulsive behavior and needs immediate attention. It has taken too much of your invaluable college life and your youthful time. As you can see it is really a debilitating condition and is leading to incapacitation and a dysfunctional state. You have to immediately shut down all game-related activities and cafes and find alternative occupations that will engage your mind and body attractively. Draw up a tight timetable with interesting activities and follow them meticulously. Initially it may be useful to shift to another location or town and remove yourself from tempting surroundings and gadgets, for a short while. If necessary, find a suitable companion or your parents to also get involved and to be of support in this reformation. It is near impossible to do this alone. There is not enough pleasure-related activities in your repertoire of daily routines. Also you may have a very great need for excitement in your life that is missing for a long time, perhaps. Self-control is another important skill that is missing in your development. Exercise and competitive physical contact games will be very useful too. You should also pray daily to get help from god to intervene with his power and support. I have published a book on addictions, which covers other forms of enslavements and may be useful for your recovery.
