Hello to all the people who will join me in this journey, hope you enjoy reading through it. Day 1: The decision This wasn't the first time i stopped gaming, many years passed where i completely uninstalled all my games and tried to focus on other things but ended up relapsing in a month, however this time i had the luck (or whatever we could believe in) to find the StopGaming community on reddit. How it started... I decided to return to World of Warcraft after a break to try the new content there, i can't remember what else i did that week besides that. My problem with that game has always been the same "collectionism", there you have achievement points, mounts, pets, skins and i always tried to get all. It was around 3 am in the morning and i was heading to another mindless task that would put me closer to some achievement and i said to myself "why are you doing this?" (well, it was in spanish to be honest), that simple thought was enough to close the game instantly and move to another day, or so i believed. As it was my routine, after ending a gaming session, it was time to browse reddit and check the news on the games that had my interest at the time, i can't remember how but i ended on the StopGaming community and it was the thing i needed to start processing in my head that this time is going to be the most serious of my attempts, that any of the other ones didn't have a purpose, nor a change of mindset, nor a motivation. I was so excited with my new find that after i've watched all the videos and comments on the suggested tabs, i noticed it was near 7am, that couldn't be a good schedule to start the detox so i decided that i would have a short sleep and attempt to sleep early that night. The rest of the day was as easy as it could get, in my mind everything was aligning to assist me with my new plan. I woke up to lunch with my family, we watched a movie and i recieved a whatsapp message from a friend, his family was changing some furniture and needed my help. It took us until the sunset to finish that work and the good part was that my friend was going through a similar process so we could talk about it and he was very supportive with the idea. I came back to home for dinner, we watched a film with the family and i was really tired so i decided to end the day right there, couldn't have chosen a better day to start the detox, i felt really well with that day and it seemed to me that this change would be a really good one. PD: I'm currently on my 7th day, but wasn't until yesterday that i decided i needed to record my thoughts on some way so i'll be catching up with this whenever i can, thanks to all reading
