Have you ever tried to get rid of an addiction?

I tried to get rid of my gaming addiction a few years back and it worked out quite well. Although, I still spend some of my free time playing games nowadays, it is not as extreme as back in my teenage years .Back when I was really addicted, I can engage in gaming for the whole day without any breaks in between games and I do not really care about other things in life.. Now, at least it is better., though I still play games, but less frequently.
