About vanessaoz
Expertise
I have been online for five years now and I come in contact everyday with people online who have all kinds of stories about why they are online and the time spent here. I feel confident that i can guide someone with an addiction on the right path or help someone know if they are addicted or not.

Experience
I spend many hours a day online and spoken to people who have been addicted to the net. When i first discovered the internet, i know i became very addicted to it so i speak from personal experience about how it effected my friends and family.

Question
hi, my problem is that my boyfreind is way addicted to this game called diablo, now he enjoys playing i can understand but sometimes when iam over his house he forgets that aim even thier, ...how should i make him not quite the game but at least not play as much ?, thax  

Answer
hi jenny,

men and their toys. what can i say to help, ty for emailing me about your problem.

it really is hard to get someone away from an addiction. i can only make some suggestions to help you.

why not write to him explaining your feelings and work out a compromise. tell him you dont want to take him away from his game but you want some time with him too. ask him to teach you the game ( if you want to learn it ) that way you both will be doing it together.

you have to do something to grab his attention away from the game and that isnt easy to do. tell him you would like to go out to the movies or to dinner just to get him out of the house.

can you invite him more to your house where he cant play the game??

hope it all works out well for you
