Entry 4:
So far so good, no relapse on my part since that small relapse from 6th of September.
Afew months without gaming feels good so far :D
The last couple of weeks have been good, I started making more and more at my new work place, even though I was scared of driving to my workplace I did it twice anyway.
Got I bit frustrated as I spent two hours stuck in traffic bumper to bumper but it is what it is,,.. that's how the traffic is in big Metropolitan cities :)))
I still feel a bit of anxiety when driving but Iit's getting better and better everytime.
I kept working out in the evening at home after coming back from work, spent quality time with my partner and played chess a few times (she is still beating me a lot, I can't defeat her at chess, she's really good :)) ), I kept forcing myself to study more for my technical certifications.
I'm still struggling with learning because most of the days I'm really tired but it is what it is, I'm forcing myself to become the best version of myself.
Progress ain't easy, I just need to stay consistent all the time, even if I read/practice something for 30 minutes a day, that's still a bit of progress in my book so it's good , at least I feel good.
Recently I started watching sports from USA as I got a bit tired of the European football ( I am a East European so football has been my "thing" since early childhood , but I never had the chance to play professional or amateur football, jsut football in the school's courtyard ) and I found my favorites already:
NBA: Oklahoma City Thunder
NFL: Detroit Lions
MLB: Miami Marlins
Because I found new sports to watch, I do have a "wish" from time to time to play a bit of NFL or NBA2K games but I won't. I need to keep myself on track.
Life has been great the last couple of months, especially since I gave up on gaming.
I still get gaming cravings from time to time, but I guess these will never go away.
I hope that by September 2026 I'll get my certification and get myself in a better place that I am now.
But I feel better now than I felt on september 2025 so this is great, I try to respect the lessons from the RESPAWN book.
P.S: I always preffer to add entries for longer periods of time than writting daily.
