Is there a way to get rid of online chess addiction?
Sort:
maybe i can get obeah in on it. u know. help u out ? lemme know.
I got to quit!
but what will i do with all my time?
starting matches and resigning immediately and losing to the opponent a whole lot of times, inspired from below text
"A greedy person will not spend whatever little change he has in his pocket. He will not spend to travel in a rickshaw even though he has difficulty walking. I told such a person not to do this. I told him to start spending ten rupees at a time for rickshaw rides. He told me that he is not able to spend that way; he cannot even enjoy his meals in peace when he has to part with his money. He told me that he knew feeling this way was very wrong but what could he do, he was helpless. His prakruti, his nature was holding him back, so I told him that he should take some loose change with him and drop a little at a time on the road as he is walking along. He did this one-day and then he stopped.If a person were to do this a few times over, his mind would realize that it no longer has any control and the persondoes not listen to it anymore. So it would stop; in this way the mind and everything else will turn around. You have to act contrary to the mind; you have to shake it up a little. If people in your household get out of control, you have to shake them up a little, in the same way if your mind gets out of control; you have to shake it a little."
Start playing the London System. Boredom will cure you
play to improve not just get winning
Aversion therapy- drink bleach while you play chess, then you'll develop an association between chess and nausea, hahaha. Or you can slowly introduce another habit into your daily routine through positive reinforcement that serves the same function as playing chess. Or you can use punishment and whip yourself every time you catch yourself playing chess, hehe.
Try getting addicted to something else.

Divide your time between work, family, other activities and chess.. We all love playing chess. If we do not play chess say "1 week", something is missing, sometimes we are cranky. Try to limit playing too much bullet...but play some longer game such as blitz or 10 minute games. But, you know what is best is to STUDY...feeding your mind or knowledge is much important...Find a place where you are calm...like in the beach...mountain...soul search...

family n friends dnt think am literally going crazy
FM= federalmaster
I started playing a month ago(I knew the rules but never played daily) and I am 1000+ now, 1800 is above average for sure and Yes chess is addictive limit your chess hours, try delaying starting a game. That being said I feel chess is giving my mind agility so I feel playing some chess is good for me . But I need to control it or it can go crazy.
I start playing just one game, but it turns into many and into hours played. I get filled with a mix of hope and disgust for my blunders, and it just drives me to play again, redeem my mistakes, and I'm never satisfied. Sometimes I can stop playing. Sometimes not, and after of hours playing I feel physically sick with disgust, my head feels like a bucket, and I feel worthless, both for losing and for not being able to stop playing. For minutes or hours afterwards I keep seeing random tactics in my head and can't concentrate on anything else, nor relax. Nothing seems of value, and I keep drifting in and out of dreams of games.
Removing links to chess sites helps, but my mind finds and slips a way to play a game. I sometimes crave it so much I feel is abnormal but still can't stop. The less I play, the less I crave, so the addiction comes and goes in waves. And no, alcohol does not help, it makes me less careful of what playing "just a game" leads to.
I don't have any solutions, just letting my steam off here...
Computer smash.

Sound familiar. My problem has been learning how to quit after a loss. Sometimes it is so obvious I am tilted and playing poorly but insist on playing "one more" just to prove to myself I am better and to get the loss out of my head.
I am trying to be able to look at a loss without anger. Appreciate my opponent clever play and use it to learn. I am trying to analyze after I win or lose, rather than immediately clicking on New Game button.
Stop bringing back threads that are a year out of date . . .
But why? I know it bugs some people but I don't see a problem with it
