WOW what a game. Never thought this would be able to change my life. When a friend told me to buy this and try it out, addiction was the last thing I was worried about. Not that I play soooooo many hours, but the only time I can get to play is during the day (working hours if u know what I mean).
I work for myself……. And this is the problem. No work is getting done, so no money is coming in either.

So Sunday night I told my wife of my BF2 addiction and gave her my BF cd to take with her to work and only return it to me on Friday. Then take it to work on Monday again, and so on and so on….

I hope this helps for me………. Any other ideas?

Negative reinforcement - everytime you get hit in the game shoot yourself in the leg with an airpistol. A headshot kill; shoot yourself in the nutsack. After about two hours of that you'll either be the best player in the world or you'll be too terrified to play anymore. Either way, its a win-win ...

Ouch.

How about positive reinforcement, get your wife to give you a BJ every time you cap a flag or get a kill...

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

No, he wants to stop playing, so it would be more like getting his wife to give him a BJ whenever he STOPS playing. His wife might get tired though.

Since your wife may lose or damage your CD, a little suggestion that may be easier. Keep your CD, but change the password on your account so that only your wife knows it. That way she must log you into the account server.

Twist: Too old to be doing this sh*t; +103|6776|Little blue planet, milky way

I feel your pain buddy... I have the same problem, It's sometimes so bad my wife is getting pissed at me.
I decided to take a break. Just find ANY excuse for taking a break from the game for a while (wanting to watch TV in stead works for me, but then again I dont play during working hours). So you get "sprouts" in your scoring, and who cares. Your BF2 score isn't all. Eventually, you will stop playing whenever you want. It may take a while, but it WILL work.

But as for suggestions, all I can say is that there are only two ways to beat addictions:
1) Replace one addiction with another
2) Quit

You may think that #2 is the tough on, but I will tell you right now that it's the easy one of the two. Because the temptation will always be there. And by simply exhanging BF2 for say cigarettes, sex, drugs, kaligraphy or whatever, you will KNOW that it's got you beat, and that you as a person is WEAK. Your family and yourself will not be happy. It's easier on you if you just STOP. You feel better about yourself, and you will get more time to do other stuff. In the 2½ months break I took, I managed to paint the house, put in new doorknobs, do the psring cleaning, and as an added bonus, I made my wife pregnant, so now I have no CHOICE but to not play....

Hey.. There's option #3, just get too busy to find the time to play !
