Well put, man. *nod* Seems to me with the alcohol and other substances thing that do require social interaction, those could be addictions harder to detect. And I speak as the child of a dead alcoholic.
The curious thing is it must be so much more obvious with a gaming addiction. Obvious to everyone outside of the addiction, I suppose ... or obvious earlier, at least. Prolly one case in which it really is good to heed warnings from the people closest to you.
On a totally facetious note, I can't believe you just quoted Mary Poppins. *roflmao* Not even Jane Austen quoting Horace: “Often the truth spoken with a smile will penetrate the mind and reach the heart; the lesson strikes home without wounding because of the wit in the saying” ... hee hee.
