Post # 15 - My Anti-Drug


            My anti-drug is playing video games.  Many people do drugs because they are stressed and need to escape from reality for a while.  Well, I can do the same thing in a video game without actually doing any damage to others or myself.  It’s a safe way to unwind and relax.  In a game I can do whatever I want without any repercussions, it creates a nice little world where everything is okay.  Of course, I eventually have to come back to reality and get work done, but I always look forward to being able to get to the next level of a game.  Moreover, they’re not as bad as people make them seem.  Video games have been proven to increase hand-eye coordination and reduce people’s stress levels; and, if you’re like me and you like to play puzzle games, you exorcise your spatial reasoning skills at the same time.  Video games are a fun, safe way to escape for a while and let go of any worries I have.
