Vancouver, Canada
I am a therapist in Vancouver with a specialization in addictions , and
especially in the areas of sex and internet addiction. I have seen a number
of gamers addicted to the various MMOG's and their wives over the past few
years. I have a very clear understanding of the force of this addiction,
and what makes it unique and hard to stop. I do both individual and
couples therapy.

I can provide contact information for a Christian sexual addictions counsellor in the London area who also has some familiarity with computer game addiction. He has found that many men in particular who struggle with pornography addiction also wrestle with this issue.
PM me for more info.
