I've played vidya all my life and although therapist disagress, I am probably an addict.. My current studies pratically force me to stay in front of a screen. I'm losing sleep, my brain is probably all fucked up. I spend about 12-14 hours in front of a pc on average. I used to workout but I lost the feeling of it.So here are my questions
How to start kicking off addiction to video games? I would just feel like I'm losing progress if I stopped. Any "easy" steps to do it?
How can I get back to working out without motivation to do so?
How can I engage in other hobbies when nothing stimulates me as much as vidya?
Am I fucked?

you need to assess whether you're addicted to video games. how are the other areas of your life? Are video games getting in the way of your work/school or personal relationships? if not, then your therapist is probably right, and you aren't addicted. If you just want to play less, then you need to find something else to do. The therapist can't help you find a new hobby.

Install FreeBSD. No joke.
I had the same problem, i felt like something was missing from my life because if video games. I just stopped. Completey stopped playing them. Sold all of my consoles and deleted my Steam account. I got bored. And did some things that I wouldn't do if I weren't bored. And guess what? I had more interesting experiences that I ever had. Its been three months and I don't even think about video games anymore.
