firemagnet: Maybe we are not missing the point. Maybe you are. Maybe your problems are not caused by video game addiction but the fact you play a lot of video games are a side effect of your problem. I also play a lot of video games and have not experienced those problems you have described.
I'm addicted to pleasure. Video games are one source of that pleasure. It's called hedonism. When I die I will have had a life filled with pleasurable activity. I have a wife, a highly paid professional career, two beautiful children, and lots of video games. What do I need help with again?
