I understand this is a serious problem. Do you think you know any prevention techniques?

Have other healthy interests. reading some kind of hobby that doesn't involve the TV at all. If a person always has things to do chances are they will devote less time to playing games. I'm fairly balanced when it comes to gaming, but if I have a book that I'm really into I wont even touch my consoles.

Okay my solution for that issue:
Get a Girlfriend
Get a Job
Get a Hobby like painting or writing
You will see how 1 leads to 2 and 2 to 3, but first of all, try to make 1 not have the same addiction, so she gets you out of the addiction and into something MORE GOOD!

First of all addiction is simply a state of mind. If you really wanted to stop this video game addiction you would just throw away all the systems you have with all the games. but I'll tell you something right now, No video games = Lame *** life. I my-self love video games. I have been playing Nintendo since I was 2! I was born the same year The Old School Nintendo came out. With Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt. Ever since then I have been addicted, and loving every day of it since.

You gotta rest on the games sometimes, i was an addict once. I would stay on the game for 12 hours on a time, i would skip school just to play, but now, i realized that if you just chill for a while and find other things to do with your time, you will eventually get better. You will still think about the game in the beginning, but eventually other things will shrink that out.

Very hard not to get addicted and spend every free moment playing
. Best bet is to designate a certain limited amount of time allowed to play, like 2 hours a weeknight and maybe 6 hours a day weekends.

Find a hobby to take up a lot of your time. I had a bad addiction to video games couple years ago. I've stuck to the video games though, I have a hobby called level design.. for video games. :) So I've stuck to video games in a way, but I'm using my hours creating them instead of playing them. Make my parents proud, they dont care how many hours I waste creating.
So take up a creative and time consuming hobby.

have certain days and times when you can play. You should limit your playing time. Or just play up to a certain level each day. Also do other things than just video games

I just had this conversation. If you know that you have a video game addiction problem, it's best that you not play any games.
