Tom, 33

Game over, life on

Then

Tom gamed every night until three in the morning. He lost his studies, then his job. His girlfriend left because she was living next to a screen. He ate chips at his desk and told everyone he had it under control.

The turning point

When he realized he hadn't been outside for a whole week, he looked in the mirror and didn't recognize himself. He sold his console and went for a walk every morning, ten minutes at first, later an hour.

Now

Tom quit gaming two years ago. He works as an installer and exercises three times a week. He's in a new relationship. He says: in the game I won every day. In real life I lost everything. Now I win slowly, but it's real.

“Taking back the rhythm of his day was his most important tool.”
