    • If you have concerns about gaming habits or feel guilty about the time spent playing games, it might be helpful to talk to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional for guidance and support.
    • #8 I was watching some vids from this communitys videos.  And yes, I had also this thoughts about that it's not we who wants the game its our brain.  Because of the Dopamine kicks the game gives us. He talked about Masturbation and porn. I'm also thinks about more things,  For example, to sniff as many do in our country. Snuff. I'm talking about moist powder tobacco user. I had to google and translate the word 😂  When you stop taking that, after years, it's like you claiming to the doors.  And you can Stand in a food queue at the store, all of a sudden you stand in front of The Tobaccy Raises your hand even, stretches for it, and you have to stop yourself. The brain attracts you in every possible and impossible way to take it again, though you never really like it. That's not good! But the brain has made you believe this.  of course it's the same with licker. The alcoholic hates it. It's ruining his life, economi, relationship with others, his family, you name it, man. His brain. His health. When I grow up, my grandmothers brother was an alcoholic. He had delirium even. He was out going with the crocodiles he said 😂 "Wait, I'll just tie the crocodiles here on the bridge edge. "  Anyway, I was looking into two videos from this community. And there come up suggestion of an psychologist that I wanted to see too. First about when life stop working and you "freez ” and what to do about it. Second vid was about what you can do for you mental health    stop being on the phone. Only take it up when you going to do a specific thing. Than lay it down again   stop wasting your time on the phone.    second.stop buying crap .  I'm thinking again what my therapist said about the phone. It takes your energy. It don't give you energy.  this YouTube psychologist said something similar. We know this too, don't we. We can't be bored not even for a second. We want the phone to constantly Entertain us. When we lay done the phone, what happens? Well, I could freeze, sure. Just laying down, feeling depressed. Maybe I have little energy left in me,  but I don't wants to do anything about the mess around me. That I had not controlled at all. Because I have been online somewhere, prior was online life, not THE REAL STUFF. Oh, man. but I think you can't , when you stop being online, sit around forever. You do other things sone or later.  that Disk for example. But also other things. Yesterday I got two college blocks. New ink pens. I was up early this morning and wrote three pages. For it is the best I know how to deal with addiction three pages. Every morning. The first you do when you wake up . (You can take a cop of coffee too) and you never show this pages to anyone. You don't even go back and read it yourself. It's the writing that is important here. Not the reading.    you wright about what you want. And you can do it on a free way, because no one, not even yourself going to read it. (Of course you can read it, but don't get obsessed to it)   some days you can get a genial idea of some kind. It's ok. But mostly the morning pages  is Incredibly tedious. And is there anything I learned about it is that you will not be able to nag yourself year in and year out, side up and side down, without doing anything about it in the end.  I recommend Julia Cameron's book Artist's Way if you are interested. It has helped me. And millions. Julia was married to renowned film director Martin Scorsese. Many directors, actors and artists, etc. have whispered a lot of wise advice in her ears and she helps people get in touch with is your creativity, she means cures everything. She was an alcoholic herself. 3 pages every morning. No one else can read. It is a free fenced you can write what you want about your life. Add a daily walk. A date with yourself once a week, again you just have to alone. You take yourself out on a date, do something you think is funny. These are the tools .

    • #7 I have been busy, not much thinking about the game. I was to church yesterday. I gave back 3 books to the priest. But admitted haven't read so much. I told him , I have fighting me out of a addiction instead. Of mobile games. And he said he took away his private Facebook account.  I talked little about this but I don't think he fully understood how addicted I was to this game, but it doesn't matter. The most important for me is that I'm not there any more. He gave me a Bible text. Asked me to meditate over the words.  MIka 7:7-8 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. I then was eating and talking with others. And then I went home and wanted to hear prayers again.  On Spotify. Podd. What have you. I felt a sleep for a while .  Woke up, took a glas of water and went out, because my son had the concert. I we to the liberay in my little city.  Talked to my other son if he wanted to come, but he said he was to tired .  Another person came and talked to me when I was there. He asked me how it was with me, and I told him . He himself is in love . He talked about the addiction I just took me out of. He said life is not complicated. He said life is easy. Thinking back to what he said, I think I don't agree with him. If life was easy, I hadn't struggling with things in my life.  At all.  I wished him good luck with his love and plans. I thanked God, I'm not him. Because I don't want the life he is living, though he seamed to think that. I told him I'm good being my own. I like that. I'm growing being alone, I m that kind of person. I love freedom . Doing what the hell I want .  I saw my son, I was so proud of him . He was playing drums to a Thin Lizzy song, Whisky in Jar, and after that, he sang in the choir, tenor.  They was so good, we talked and followed back home, talking about the concert and so.  When I was about to sleep I thinking this day I have almost not thinking at all about the game. I don't even feel like talking about it in same way I did before.  🙂    
    • Day #85/90 I feel like I'm losing some steam with how close the finish line is. My portfolio isn't due until Friday, but I am working towards submitting tomorrow. I do not want to submit at the last minute, and with the feedback I've received from my peers already, I feel confident in that decision. I did not procrastinate until the last minute. I do not feel the need to scramble for more time. I want to get rid of this burden by tomorrow night and finally get it off my mind after 7 months of thinking about it nonstop. What I'm thankful for: My creative spark not dying out. Goals for Day #86: Do more 1 minute figures, and add the finishing touches to all pieces included in the portfolio. Submit portfolio!!!
