In contrast to the early years of interactive electronic entertainment, video games today are a multi-billion dollar industry with revenues that regularly exceed box office receipts at the movies.

People play computer, handheld, and console games to relax, to socialize with others, and to reduce stress. When used in these ways they can be a relatively harmless and enjoyable activity. In fact, most people (children, teens, and adults) can and do play computer games in moderation and without harmful consequences.

However, for some people gaming can morph from a simple hobby into a destructive addiction. Although the research on exactly how many gamers become addicted is still developing, it is commonly estimated to be in the 5 – 10% range.

Given that millions of people play video games, even this low estimate translates into thousands and thousands of individuals who may be suffering from addiction.    Read more...

Robert Smith of Faster EFT interview at Habilitat’s Addiction Treatment Center in Hawaii

If you’re worried about someone you know who’s taking drugs getting into criminal activity, you have every reason to be. The number of people in prison for drug-related offenses highlights just how many people are actually taking drugs and getting involved in crime – often simply to support their own habit. The prison population is such a heavy financial burden, the laws are starting to loosen up. And, thanks to drug courts, some offenders can now go into a drug addiction treatment center instead of prison.

Lightening up on the laws is definitely called for. A recent article in the magazine Mother Jones chronicled some of the legal changes in the last 20 years and the effect they’ve had on the prison population.
