FIFA Addiction: Self deprication

My obsession has gone too far. It has taken over my life. It is the first thing I do when I get home and the last thing I do before I go to bed. It is the same thing over and over again. How did I let a game take me over like this? Even as I write this I am playing this game. It is just the same game of soccer over and over again. I try to convince myself that there is a purpose to playing it so much, but in reality there isn’t. When was the last time you heard of someone making money playing FIFA? Exactly, it just does not happen. I keep trying to stay away from it, but I keep coming back. I do not know what about it makes me want to play it so much. Maybe it is because I am such a big Chelsea Football Club fan or that I can play with the best soccer players in the world such as Ronaldo, Messi, and Ibrahimovic. But, you can do that in any sports game.I think it is because my biggest dream would be to be a professional soccer player, so playing the game gives me the feel that I am in a professional game.Whatever it is about it, I am greatly attracted to it. It is like if I do not play the game I am going to die. Almost like every goal that I score gives me a day to live. But honestly, my obsession with this simple game is insane. Like what would I do if they stopped making FIFA? I would go insane and not know how to live. I would protest outside of the EA Games headquarters all day and night so that they would bring the game back. They would think I was crazy and send me to a place for crazy people. Just since I got FIFA 14 for Christmas, I have played over ten days worth of it. That is way too much of just one game. I could have used that time reading or hanging out with friends. But no, I spent it sitting on my butt playing the game all by myself. When the new FIFA game was announced, I spent hours online researching all of the new features that would be included in the new game. In general the game is the same as it has been since it was released in 1998. So what if they added all these new features, it it still a soccer game. It has the same concept and purpose, score goals and win the game. I have almost spent real money on the game so that I could get special players and teams on the game. I was able though to convince myself not to. Maybe after I get the new one I will get bored of it eventually and not play anymore. I was able to restrain from going to the midnight release of the game in a few weeks and wait until Christmas to get it. Maybe waiting all this time will help. Time will only tell about my addiction. Other people get addicted to video games like Call of Duty or Battlefield and those games are just shooting people over and over again. There is also only a few things to choose from and only a few maps. On FIFA there is thousands of players and hundreds of teams. It would take me forever to play as every team on the game. So at least that is different. But, I only play as Chelsea every time and I usually play the same teams. That is like turning a light switch on and off for hours. It is the same thing over and over again. I hope by the time I graduate in a little over two years and I go to college that I will not be so obsessed with the game. I do not want to college and be obsessed with the game and skip class just so that I can get a few more matches in that day. I do not want to be that obsessed with the game. I have a few years till I have to worry about that but I still have to make sure that I calm down because, it will be here before I know it. All my friends tell me to stop playing but I do not.  My goal is to stop playing this game so much and get a job and get out more often. My obsession with the video game FIFA has gone too far and I hope that I can solve it soon.
