How to stop playing playstation games?

I always hear about video game addiction but I've never ever met anyone who was affected by it. I would suggest locking up your console during the week and only unlocking it during the weekends. Or give it to a friend with strict instructions not to let you near it until the weekends when you're not busy with work. That way you can start weaning yourself off the console and play it during reasonable times. I would still suggest seeking some kind of help though.

Ok my friend, here's what you should do BEFORE seeking professional help. 1, schedule times, that will not interfere, that you can game without f'n anything up, like plans, work, etc. 2, when you figure out which time, put a timer on, 30-60 minutes, when the timer goes off, you stop playing. 3, you can even set your tv to turn off at a certain time, that'll remind you too. I know what it's like to be addicted to gaming Luckily this is exactly what I do.

It's really all about scheduling and moderation, plus not playing in the morning (especially before work when you think you have enough time for a quick name). On an off day or when you get home from work and have nothing to do? Go for it, I say. I wouldn't say you need to quit entirely. Time yourself and give yourself pockets of time to play: an hour, break, an hour or whatever.

That's really what you should do. Scheduling times to play and sticking to those schedules. No more gaming before you go to work, instead just do it after for maybe 2-3 hours. Go to bed at a reasonable time. Next save the majority of your gaming for the weekends, I almost recommend no gaming on weekdays and only doing on weekends to satisfy your craving. But don't let it interfere with your money.
