I’m not sure if there are games for addiction recovery, but I know that “playing games” on the Internet is a “release” for anything that you are going through. It gives you an opportunity to focus on something that you enjoy and at the same time, gives you something to work towards (beating the score above you). Try gamerival.com, I practically live on that site when I’m not on Yahoo Answers and I get great satisfaction and enjoyment from it. You have a chance to challenge others, put someone on your buddy list and even interact with other “game players”. It’s a healthy way to get the “high” from playing, and at the same time making friends. In my opinion you don’t need to connect with games played by people in “recovery” cause they are already “game players”. You need to connect with a site that has “real people” that play games for enjoyment. If you connect with a “buddy”, tell them your story and maybe they can help you overcome; don’t hide behind your addiction, be up front and honest with it and you will find the help you need. If you want to get started, you can find me on gamerival.com as karolinamagic52 or southernmagic. I’ll be more than glad to help you. Main thing is being open and honest with people and give them a chance to know you and your “shortcomings”. Give people a chance and you will find that there is more support out there than you ever thought possible.

I noticed that this question has been open for awhile, so you might have found what you are looking for already. However I just wanted to mention that AA and more specifically for your situation probably, NA do have stores that you can get products for people in recovery. I would try contacting your local chapter of NA and see if they have a store in your area, or look them up on line and see if they have any products available that you might be looking for.
