ALL quoted text (unless otherwise stated) comes from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous (with wording sometimes changed only to make it more relevant for gaming addiction). I will include page numbers.
Hoping & praying for a measure of recovery for all of us today.
As much as I do not advocate video games for kids, this one appears to have good intentions. Children with cancer can play Re-mission by entering the pixelated world INSIDE the body where they fight cancer cells. Creative visualization is a very good technique to use with cancer patients. This game simulates visualization, in a sense. Hopefully the young cancer patient will be taught how to use the visual world of Re-mission and actively visualize healing within their own body. One can only hope..
The question is....will you be able/courageous/adult enough to sacrifice that which merely pleases you...for that which will truly fulfill you? That is the question of personal growth.
