Video Gaming Addiction | A Mother's SOS and the Mission that Followed

When Elaine Uskoski received a chilling email from her son, she knew something was deeply wrong. He had stopped attending university classes, missed deadlines, was sleeping all day, barely eating, and had been gaming for up to 16 hours a day. What began as a fearful drive to pick him up from campus became the beginning of a life-altering journey, not just for her son’s recovery, but for Elaine’s new purpose: helping families across the world understand and address video gaming addiction.

Now an internationally recognized coach, speaker, and author of Cyber Sober, Elaine joins us to share her story of heartbreak, healing, and hope, offering insight into a modern addiction that many still don’t recognize.

Highlights:

💥 The red flags of gaming addiction

💥 What recovery looked like at home

💥 Why "just take it away" doesn’t work

💥 Who’s most at risk (and why)

💥 What parents and educators can do

💥 Harm reduction strategies and prevention

💥 How Jake is thriving today, and helping others

💥 The modules now available for post-secondary schools and residences to raise student awareness
