INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There's a thin line between hobby and vice. Maybe your grades are slipping, your relationships are deteriorating, or your health has begun to suffer from spending too many hours plastered to the couch. Whatever it is, taking stock of the ways that your compulsion has done more harm than good can give you the motivation you need to leave it behind.  Freeing yourself from the grip of video games will help you overcome your depressive or isolationist tendencies, get more enjoyment out of real-world experiences, and make time for the people and things that truly matter to you.  If you've tried weaning yourself off video games in the past and it hasn't worked, cutting the cord may be your best course of action. This is probably the simplest and most effective way to break a destructive gaming addiction. Just put down the controller and don’t look back. It will require tremendous willpower, no doubt. Over time, however, it will get easier, to the point where video games no longer have the same hold over you that they once did.  Anytime you're tempted to sit down and play, take it as a challenge to get stronger. Consciously saying no to unhealthy desires conditions the part of your brain that's responsible for regulating self-control.  This approach may be simple, but it’s not easy. It all goes back to making a purposeful commitment to not be a slave to your urges. Box up your console and games and stow them in the attic or basement, on a high shelf in your closet, or in another spot that’s not readily accessible. It’s much easier to give something up for good if it’s not staring you in the face all the time.  Actually make it hard for yourself. Bury your console under a pile of boxes in the garage, put it in the trunk of your car, or take it apart and hide each component in a different place. Do whatever it takes to keep yourself away. If you do most of your gaming on the computer, uninstall addictive programs from your hard drive and delete any accounts you have for online games. Then, make an effort to police yourself when using your computer in the future. Hand your gear down to a younger sibling, or donate them to a thrift store or charitable organization so that someone less fortunate can have a chance to enjoy them. Not only is this a generous act, it also helps you meet your goals. You can’t spend too much time playing a game that you don’t own!  You can also sell newer systems and titles back to stores that accept used games and put the money you get towards other hobbies or pastimes. Delete downloaded games from your console or device to reduce the temptation that you might feel to play them if they’re just sitting there.

SUMMARY: Think about the toll that gaming is taking on your life. Summon the resolve to walk away once and for all. Put your gaming equipment away where you can't easily get to it. Consider giving away your games and gaming systems.
