Part 4/9:

After returning to live with his parents, Charlie continued his gaming habits, dedicating up to nine hours a day to his addiction. Despite flourishing in a job working at Pizza Hut, his addiction loomed large, interfering with both personal and professional relationships. It wasn't until he faced a professional setback as a real estate agent—stemming from insufficient performance due to his gaming habits—that his family broached the issue of his addiction.

In a desperate search for help, he struggled to find rehabilitation programs that addressed digital addiction specifically. With multiple calls yielding little success, hope arrived serendipitously through a contact at a helpline who mentioned Restart Life, a facility specializing in treating technology-related addictions.
