I started playing this computer game with friends and I started spending 4 hours straight on the game. This is hurting my family and it is hurting my back and neck. I want to know if there is anything I can do to fix this?

Hello,
Just find something else to bide your time. A lot of people get hooked on video games because they simply can't think of anything as interesting to do.
Just like any habit, you first have to get rid of the offending behavior, in this case, video games. Try replacing it with something less time consuming..
There's a lot of cool, interesting things to do there - try one out! Then you'll have more time to study.
▸ Playing violent computer and video games may encourage aggressive behavior.
▸ Electronic games can make you more than a spectator of violence; they are designed to make you feel like a participant.
▸ For the impressionable, games may blur the distinction between reality and fantasy.
▸ Like an addiction, game playing can lead to neglect of important obligations and relationships.
▸ Games can consume time that children should spend on other important activities, such as studying, interacting with others, and playing creatively.
▸ Prolonged staring at the screen can cause eyestrain.
▸ Lack of exercise, a possible result of game playing, can lead to obesity.
▸ Games can rob you of money and time.
