Good Bye CityVille

Addiction can be in any form. Truth be told, I am a computer game addict.  When I start a game that I like, it is very very very difficult for me to stop.  CityVille is one of them.

Just in case that you are one of my CityVille friendly neighbors, I hope you understand why I had to delete this facebook app. I just can't moderate my computer game play.  Computer games is one of my weakness.  It is difficult for me to control it.

Historically, addiction has been defined as physical and psychological dependence on psychoactive substances (for example alcohol,tobacco, heroin and other drugs) which cross the blood-brain barrier once ingested, temporarily altering the chemical milieu of the brain.

Addiction can also be viewed as a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it. Pleasure and enjoyment would have originally been sought, however over a period of time involvement with the substance or activity is needed to feel normal.^[1] Some psychology professionals and many laymen now mean 'addiction' to include abnormal psychological dependency on such things as gambling, food, sex, pornography, computers, internet, work, exercise, idolizing, watching TV or certain types of non-pornographic videos, spiritual obsession, self-injury and shopping.^[2][3][4][5]
