When you get tired of gaming and take a break, how long do you go without playing?
 
Since I am at university, I took a 3 month break from gaming, Used to play around 2-4 hours a day before but that stopped when I got used to the university lifestyle. Literally didn't have any time to play games. Much easier not to think about gaming when you are preoccupied with something else more important and/or fun.
 
It varies for me. It could be weeks, or even months. It all comes down to my mood, and if I'm preoccupied with other activities such as hobbies.
 
Hopefully spending gaming time with friends for socialization won't minimize the impact of taking a break from video games.
 
I don't normally take extended breaks from gaming entirely: the most I've ever taken has been about three days.

However, I do quite often take breaks from specific games. For example, I'm taking a break from Into the Breach (and have been for over a year), because I found it too frustrating.
