¿¿A Spiritual Path to Responsible Use of Digital Gaming

An effective solution to the challenge of Digital Gaming Addiction (aka Video Game Addiction) based on the rich and successful tradition of the Twelve Steps.

Addiction to Digital Gaming is a troubling phenomenon that has burst upon society with alarming speed. Many people crave the use of Digital Games in a strikingly similar way to any other addict. The World Health Organization has now made Gaming Disorder an official mental health disorder.

Digital Games are a complex software and hardware system that have been designed to promote continued and progressive usage. This sophisticated technology clearly feeds on natural addictive tendencies.

The 12 Steps are one of the most effective methods for treating addiction in human history. Originating with Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939, the 12 Steps have since been used to treat a variety of other addictions, including drugs, sex, gambling, eating disorders, and many others.

Now in this groundbreaking work the 12 Steps are applied to the complex and evolving contemporary phenomenon of Digital Gaming Addiction.

The Twelve Steps are designed to work on the underlying issues that cause Digital Gaming Addiction, and create an understanding and acceptance of ones' addiction. The Twelve Steps at their core are a set of spiritual principles that enable a new and fulfilling way of life for an addict. They allow one to enhance their life and understanding of them self, their relationships with others, and their spiritual nature by working through The Twelve Steps.

"If you suffer from digital gaming addiction, I strongly encourage you to use this book as your road map to get you back to the real world."
