Advice on Quiting Destiny
Now this isn't some "I'm sick of Destiny and all it's bullshit!" rant post. I'm honestly thinking of quiting Destiny all together. So why don't I just leave? Because I feel addicted.
For the past 9 or so months, I feel like my life and all my free time has revolved around Destiny. No other video game has consumed so much of my life like Destiny has. It would be one thing if I really enjoyed the game, but half the time I don't, I just find it frustrating.
Recently one of my closest friends, who played Destiny with me a bunch, completely deleted Destiny from his hard drive and confessed that "it was an unhealthy habit". I wasn't in the slighest bit upset. Inatead i felt proud of him, because I agree, it is an unhealthy habit.
Now i'm not sure if I could ever bring my self to delete all my hard work in Destiny. After all; I have this weird philosophy that you should never get rid of proof of labor. And even though it's just a video game, I feel as though I have put a lot of hard work into Destiny. But i'm getting a bit desperate.
I may be asking the wrong group here, but here goes nothing. What advice can you guys give on how to quit Destiny? I've been trying to fill in the gap by playing other video games, but I have nothing new to play, and other games just aren't keeping me quite as entertained (it's like Destiny is crack and other video games just feel like weaker, lesser drugs). When I discovered the Mass Effect series in January of this year (amazing series btw), I felt like I could just enjoy Mass Effect whenever I got frustrated with Destiny. Now that i've beat that trilogy, i've got very little to occupy my free time other than Destiny.
This addiction has got to stop. I have no incentive to play this game anymore, and yet it's all I think about.
Some people may say to "just pace yourself better and play in smaller sessions", but i'm too affraid I'll get sucked in all over again. I never tought that i'd look at "3 days of no Destiny" as a milestone! So what advice can any of y'all give on how I can quit the addiction that is Destiny?

Well if your going to quit destiny and go play another game then that makes no sense at all to me. Your saying it's an unhealthy habit but in truth it's not destiny that's the unhealthy habit it's sitting on the couch for hours. With that being said watching tv/movies for 10 hours is the same as playing destiny for 10 hours or playing any other video game. So is suggest to play in moderation. If you have friends or family out doing stuff go join them. If nothing is going on and you have everything done for the day or whatever sit down relax and play. However it all depends how you feel and what you want to do. Some people are perfectly content sitting there playing everyday all day and others like myself can't do it anymore. Let's say I play 4-5 hours on my day off. Well I won't play for 5 hours straight I will break it up. I'll do a raid then go take a break and go see my buddy down the road or whatever. Then come back and play for a little and then watch some tv with my gf. Then jump back on play for a bit more and then get off. Don't get my wrong I have my days were in super lazy that day and will sit and play for half the day but it's my choice and I'm fine with it.
