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?

I have been replaying fallout games in prep for fallout 4 and I have to say it's quite enjoyable. Depending on your pc, the witcher is really good. As a tip turn off nividia hair physics, it consumes a hell of a lot of power to maintain. I still haven't finished the witcher yet because i'm taking it slow doing the side stuff and getting immersed in the world. Even then I feel extremely satisfied and already more than happy saying it's not only a good game but probably one of if not the best we may see this year. If you're looking for a competitive game CS:GO, League of legends or dota are good depending on your preference. That or just take a look around steam. Chances are you will find a good game as long as you avoid early access.
