Besides staying up too late playing video games..
Here's how video games have helped me.
I've always been a casual gamer. I normally play maybe an hour or two a day. So, how did they help me? Well, recently I've quit my Xanax use. And if you don't know what Xanax is, here's a link explaining what it is.

I know Xanax is pretty bad, but that's why I'm quitting it for good. The only problem with quitting a drug is the cravings for it. And video games have helped get rid of those cravings. When I'm playing video games my mind totally eliminates the thought of even popping a bar (Xanax). Video games has also helped my social anxiety. It started out little, just talking to people online with a mic. Then it moved to face to face meet ups with the friends I've met online through video games. Now it's like why did I ever have social anxiety?

That's pretty incredible. Are you smoking weed while gaming?

Never thought of boxing, I might try that out as well. :)
