Stories from recovering and former gaming addicts reveal their struggles: friends who tell them it’s not a real addiction; parents who aren’t sure there’s anything they can do, or think that because their grades are good, the problem isn’t serious; recovering drug addicts in support groups who can’t sympathize; or experts who tell them it’s an exaggeration.
