When my son was 17, he came to my bedroom one evening for a rare heart-to-heart. "Mum, I want to stop. I need to stop. But I’m scared of upsetting people." I knew Connor’s three-year addiction to computer gaming had been ruining his life.

“Mum, I want to stop. I need to stop. But I’m scared of upsetting people.”
I knew Connor’s three-year addiction to computer gaming had been ruining his life. But until he made that decision to change, four years ago, there had seemed little any of his family could do to help. His obsession with living in a virtual world was consuming his life, and destroying his education. It had left him without real-life friends — or the skills needed to acquire them. It had driven his father and me to despair. The End "and if you have been using your phone or computer for so long instead just go enjoy nature" #StopAddiction
