Kudos to you in sharing your story, and congrats on your 4-month "sobriety"!

My youngest son actually had to go to a detox program for video games (in the Seattle area). It didn't entirely remove the addictive behavior patterns, but he's much more self-aware in his struggles.

One positive thing did come out during his stay there - he was officially diagnosed with ASD (which we always suspected, but he had other learning challenges that seemed more pressing). I wish we had gotten him more accomodations when he was in school - which would have been easier with the official diagnoses.

For Lent, my family fasts all screens. We normally don't make it the 40 days, but it really helps to reevaluate your screen usage this way, once a year.
