Just institute a no gaming in the day rule, and make sure you exercise + cook a good meal before after dinner gaming and you can balance all.
You dont have to quit gaming cold turkey to be "Normal"

what works out for me, is just having a set schedule, and making gaming a low priority in your life. thanks to empire's casual hours and my timezone i'm able to enjoy everquest while maintaining a normal, healthy life.
like for instance, on weekdays i pretty much go to work, shower and do my chores/errands, play everquest for a couple hours, run, then go get drunk with & bang my hot neighbor after she gets off work (same time empire usually calls off raids) no real need to work out beyond a little cardio, since my job's arguably more physically demanding and a better workout than spending the same amt of time in the gym.
neighbor & i both keep friday-sunday free so that we can travel/hike/backpack or do cool shit. sometimes i also do volunteer forestry work, so stuff like exposing & chopping up huge buried trees underneath trails, moving giant boulders to create retaining walls, hauling lumber and building bridges often way out 10+ miles into the shit.
feels good not to let anything have control of your life, whether it be a video game, woman, job, debt, etc. for instance i can take weeks or months off work whenever i feel like it to shit up the p99 forums like i'm doing now.
edit: i also make over 250k a year, philanthropist, internationally known sex icon, and i have the power & influence to make you or break you in this city
