Offtopic » Managing addiction versus abstaining

Now, I really don't want to get into the argument of whether video game addiction can be considered an actual addiction. I'd like to think that anything can be addictive and addictions affect people differently. Moving on...
So, I've had an ongoing issue with being addicted to MMOs, mainly Final Fantasy XI and XIV. XI I had kicked years ago, before FFXIV came out, but when FFXIV did come out, I got addicted to it twice. It wasn't a kind of addictive behavior that cost me a job or anything, but something that took up all my free time. I wasn't getting anything else played and wasn't getting any reading done. I would just come home from work, log onto FXIV and play while I watched Netflix until it was time to go to bed.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
