Today, candies are not just for the young ones anymore.


Adults get to enjoy these sweets any time of the day they want, but not in the way children do. I'm talking about one of the hottest games today, the Candy Crush Saga. Produced by King.com Company, this tasty-looking game has a lot to answer to. I lost track of the number of people I've talked to who are now on the verge of becoming so much addicted to the game and that does not include the people who are actually already addicted to the game. At first look, Candy Crush Saga is just another typical match-three game, but with a more appealing design and graphics. As soon as you started playing it, that's where your first impression slowly dies down. As it turned out, this game is not your ordinary Bejewelled wannabe. It's different, more challenging and yes, much more addictive, to the point that a lot of people are neglecting their daily activities just to keep playing. Before you become one of these people and start putting off chores that need to be done, it's important that you learn how not to become addicted to this game.


A Game that Never Ends


If you've already chosen to play the game over spending quality time with your family and friends, then you're way too deep into the game than you realize. Don't worry, though, all's not lost. There's still a chance for redemption and the first step is to realize, at last, that the game does not end, quite literally. Whenever you think that you're about to finish the game, a new chapter comes out with a whole new set of levels. Do you want to get stuck for the rest of your life playing a game that does not end? If you answer no, then good for you; let's move on to your next medication. I've heard of someone who missed his sister's labor because he was too busy with the game that he couldn't be bothered. Do you want to be that brother who fails to witness a very important chapter in his sister's life? Don't wait until it's your wife's labor, or else, you might not get to see your child for the rest of your life; all because of a game.


Getting Your Life Back


I'm not saying that you should delete the game from your device, although that may be a good idea if you're so glued to it enough not to see a fire break out in front of you. What you need is a time-out from this phenomenon. If you told yourself, "last level, I promise", then see to it that it's kept. That simple task may be the most difficult you will ever have to do, but it will be worth it once you realize that you still have a life waiting for you to come around. The important step is to gradually reduce your playing time. When you're able to do this, you will slowly get your life back and you will have the self-control to just visit the game once in a while and play just until you've ran out of lives.
