I may have finally kicked my addiction... well, part of it!

I dont have an addiction i can stop whenever i want to.......i just dont want to

I'm on the same boat.
Was spending too much money buying crappy bundles, now I'm subscribed to HB Monthly and buying only games that I really want to play.
But I still have 2400+ games on my library =(

You know you're telling yourself a lie, go buy another bundle and be happy!

Good job! Accomplishing something you want is not always easy but eventually almost every hurdle can be overcome.

not an addict

Better to quit cold turkey

One day at a time... :)

Doubt I'll ever stop buying bundles, but haven't entered a giveaway in two years... :) Don't even want to think about how much garbage is in my Steam library, my only consolation is knowing there are a few even bigger junkies around here somewhere... :)

Yeah I also used to enter all the giveaways back in the day. Now I have 300P 97% of the time :P

I have the same problem actually... However, I am afraid I wouldn't even start doing anything else if I stopped entering giveaways as I'm dealing with depression for years now and can't get over it. Well, perhaps the time will come for me as well...
Yet again, congrats for winning with this!

There are no addicts on SteamGifts! Only casual gifters!

good for you! Now spend all that free time on this forum with us nice folk!

From experience I can tell you yes you can! although... you eventually end up back here... so yeah, point invalid! Once an addict123, always an addict123!

That moment of pure joy that seeing space cat gives you... You need it, you must have it.

The way i'd go about it - prove discipline while not entirely depriving yourself from pleasure > buy any bundle you deem worthy,
just don't spend additional time on trading/giveaways and reading up on related info and other occasions (free stuff and whatnot).
And remind yourself - games get cheaper and better all the time, the only thing you can't get later is more time. Personally i've
cut/substituted my "play games time" with the meta game "acquire games time". Much room for improvement.. :-D

Good luck on your resolution although you don't need luck for that :D only more discipline you have already proven to have, by coming to the realization and reinforcing it, by posting about it right on the site where find yourself spending too much time (like many others do incl. myself).
