Advice on gaming in recovery
I was a gamer for like 20 years, it’s been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. The only problem is I was using for the last 8 years. My thing was basically getting fucked up and gaming for hours and hours. But now I’m clean, and I’ve found that I can’t enjoy games. Playing video games makes me think about using. In recovery I’ve found new hobbies to enjoy, but it still makes me a little sad. Gaming was my world for a such a long time, and I wish I could enjoy them in a healthy way at this point in my life but I just can’t. Will this go away with more time? Should I just stay away from video games for a few years, until I feel more secure in recovery?
