Great question Shaina! That is a detail I skipped over in here.

I overcame it through a detox. I purposefully slowed down the internet on my PC so I couldn’t actually play the game.

After a time of not playing it, my psychology changed; 1) I no longer had urges to play it. 2) I just knew I couldn’t go back to who I was. I’d seen what life was like on the other side of the addiction and didn’t want live the alternative any longer.

So, I think a detox is very powerful if you put in effective blocks to stop the addiction pattern.
