Quote From: redfeathersI'm looking for that "checklist" mentioned in the description for this episode, but can't seem to find it. I think that my boyfriend is heading in the direction of gaming addiction, and I want to see if he has some signs that Dr. Phil would consider telltale of addiction. My boyfriend does some things that I'm almost 100% sure are signs (stays up into late hours of the night, looses track of time, sometimes doesn't answer his phone, spends money on games when he needs to pay for other things first).
In a nutshell I want to know which are the worst signs, and how to prevent him from getting in too deep before it's too late.
redfeathers, I don't know where Dr. Phil's "checklist" is. However, another checklist of 20 items, in a thread called "&: Computer Game Addiction Signs", is located at http://www.olganon.org/?q=node/474 . I don't know how it compares, including any overlap, with Dr. Phil's checklist, but I hope that you find this other list to be helpful to you and your boyfriend in determining whether or not he has a problem. If you believe that he does, then keep in mind that the OLGA website has a wealth of information and tools that can be of help to both of you.
