You can get parental control programs to restrict you from using things at a certain time, but it would be easy to disable if you installed it yourself.
Why would you get addicted to CA anyway... is ded man.
I admit I get addicted to things easily.
I'm in my last year of high school with my HSC (like SATs in the US?) coming up in less than 4 months now. I have no fucking idea why I decided to download Combat Arms again - I uninstalled most of my games last year. Now, I think i'm getting addicted again, and it's the worst time cos I have trial-HSC exams coming up in 4 weeks. Getting pretty stressed out about exams and I easily drift off onto Combat Arms to chill out and end up playing for a few hours. fuck.
Is there a program to restrict when I can use certain applications? I think my last resort will be uninstalling again, but my internet usage is only 50gigs/month so it's quite a hit downloading it again..
help
me
pls

@h3artbreaker If you use parental control, don't even set a time when you are allowed to play. You will be able to change the time in the boot menu so if you're really addicted you will change the time. Parental control thus become useless.

I am in school myself, taking IT classes.I am also addicted to gaming since it's my escape from reality . I wouldn't say you need parental controls but the will to use the game moderately.
I have to do 3 hours of studying everyday... I tell myself that before I do any gaming I would take that time to study and know my shit before I sit to game.
Try to practice it at first. It takes time. Addictions are form of habit, if you break the habit then you break the addiction. Try forming a new habit of studying before gaming (3 hours or more I don't know how much time you need) then game after to relax or un-stress yourself.
Try it this week and try to form a habit out of it. If you keep to it you will see the urges to game will slowly go away, and studying and school work will be easier to focus on, so you can take that HSC of yours
I hope this was helpful, and good luck to you

thanks for the ideas!
rage-uninstalled just then, props to nexon for helping me focus on my studies.
Wow, that is really unlucky. I'm in year 11, and I use to play heaps, and I've cut it down to under an hour a day for 5 days. I still think its too much. I am a little stressed about school
Best thing anyone addicted to gaming can do. I did this too. Now I have control over my scumbag brain.
Well, the OP has some serious exam, but you are just in Grade 11 (I really hope you are not 11 yr old- not clear from post). Why would you stress out so much? Leave the stress for college/university.
I have MCAT in September and I am not stressed.

I have my trials coming up in 5 weeks.
You just have to know how to distribute your time effectively; you need to have some relaxation mixed in there as well.

Gaming is an addiction.
