When I was done playing, it would also help me to get a moment to rationally look at the situation from a refreshed perspective rather than seeing things from the one perspective I was trapped in. He didn't specifically say 'go buy and xbox', rather implied getting a new game for the systems I already had, but regardless, the guy was right. It was the mental break I needed at a time when all I could think about was how completely fucking miserable I was. Any moment I wasn't thinking about the divorce was fucking magic at the time.

Yeah...riding & surfing the internet for reading material was/is my getaway from shit life throws at me. I read tons of freakin' medblogs....don't ask me how I got started on that, especially since I don't work in a med field (but love the things I learn in them). I only frequent one or two forums. But riding is my ultimate therapy. Some decent tunes on an MP3 player & a road to ride. I think of nothing but the ride. Being alert for dumbass cagers, debris, etc to the technicalities & attempting to hone my riding skills, pushing myself a little more each time...to the smells of fresh cut grass, the warm sun as it (over)heats me, the beauty of my surroundings. I always finish a ride with a smile on my face, a clear head, & reshreshed. A friend calls it one of life's best bandaid's.

You know, we all like different kinds of band aids. If gaming is your bandaid, good on ya. Everyone needs something to keep us sane.

I'm switching to hookers. Same games, different system.

You're not the only one! It's been a looooong time for me too & I was used to getting it at least once a day but you don't hear me whining about it do you?

No, you've regressed to a Freudian latent state where you deny wanting it.

At least I'm being honest with myself.
