Well written friend! i too had an addiction for gaming (Playerunknowns Battlegrounds), i played like 8-10 hours a day! But when i got my puppy 4 weeks ago i didn't have the time anymore, at first it was a bit hard to just stop playing but now i actually have more time to read about crypto finance and i've actually made a lot of money on my investments..dunno where i'm going with this, just my two cents :D
As somebody once told me, I could do so much more with my life if I spent the same amount of time doing something else... but for now this is my greatest love and I can't get enough of it! :)
Go nuts brother! Whatever brings value to your life is worth the time, never let anyone tell you different :D
