AddictNoMore

Hello, everyone! If you couldn't tell by the username, I have been addicted to video games for a good portion of my life. What had once started as an innocent way to pass time has eventually devolved into an obsession, using it as one of many methods to escape my responsibilities in life and keep my fragile ego alive through involvement in multiple online games, with the most observed train of thought being "everyone will be impressed if I manage to do X!" In reality, I'm also incredibly undisciplined, as ambitious planning to commit to 3 hours of daily study or workouts every morning always seem to wither away after the first few attempts, where I either waste my day on video games or end up browsing the web, always telling myself that I can always "Try again tomorrow". But tomorrow honestly never comes. This has been the cycle that's been dominating my life since middle school . I have so many different aspirations in life, whether it be to learn to program, to build an 8-bit computer, to get a pilots license, to learn to draw, to start exercising, or even to do something as simple as doing my homework everyday or staying at the same pace as the rest of the class. However, I fear as if my addiction has consumed my life at this point. No matter how hard I've tried, it seems as if every time I vow to go cold turkey on my habits I always end up in the same predicament, especially in situations where I want to avoid any form of anxiety that comes with recent issues in life. Any advice in terms of how I can manage my internet and gaming addictions?
