Day 21 ya 21 days that exciting. today I went out to eat, and did my online church and then watch a movie. I have noticed that body is trying substitute food as new thing since I’m resisting anime or animation. That’s what amazing to me is your body is constantly fighting you trading one thing for another, and it will do it unconsciously too, you won’t realize what happening to you till someone points it out. So be careful of this, even me I need to be careful to eat healthy not unhealthy so my addiction is not a replacement for food. That it for today, still reading book of proverbs and my regular Bible plan and my mediation app. Grateful: 1.God 2.Angels 3.Bible 4.Church 5.Family 6.Friends 7.Safety 8.Car 9.House 10.money

Day 20 Another good day. So far so good not as hard as I thought it be. Today I did an online event from 1-3pm EDT and the ate some dinner and finished up series called ‘know your enemy’ by a YouTube channel called The Fuel Project. Very eye opening in a lot of things but will give that a break and start new series by that channel next week. I think that about it, still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible plan.

Day 19 So far so good, no animation I can see but am really like Christian parody songs with lyrics since I can follow along with them. (I want to make parody songs in the future just not now because I theirs particular one I like to do). The first I did is OT (occupational Therapy) then went to see my aunt in community home and my mom and me finished most of the puzzle and let her put in the last few pieces. So they have a completed puzzle. Came home and made some red beans and rice which is really good and spicy as well as some yogurt. Nothing much else happened, just watched YouTube videos so that about it. Still reading the book of Proverbs as well my regular Bible plan.

Day 18 Not much to write about today since it was relaxing day, very tiring week that for sure but had a lot of fun. As for today, I started watching quite few YouTube videos and series I watching which quite interesting, and dvd but that about it nothing too exciting. I’m still reading book of Proverbs and my regular Bible plan as well. Glad you like this @gamerx651 Grateful: 1.God 2.Guardian Angeles 3.Safety 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.Car 9.House 10.Money

So you kind of sound like me in similar situation where I kept praying to God whether he wanted me to have online church or my local church. It felt like being pulled in two different directions. God could be asking you to make decision since were given free will, and something I can’t answer for you, it specifically to you. I know what my decision is. Second there a quote made quite while back in 2017 I never forget “Do you to live your life on pause or do you want press play on life” the decision is yours and sometimes they are very hard decisions.

Day 17 Another good event at my local church, went bowling and did tag as well as an arcade. While this does not go against my detox since this was I signed up long before I started this so it was something I could not get out of that is beyond my control. It actually much better in group to having that social experience, soon I will be volunteering at my local church which is very exciting. I also went to out to breakfast and had 3 cups of coffee (strong coffee should had 2) which was nice. So see I’m progressing maybe at slower rate but I am. I have not looked at any animation at home like animated movies, tv shows or reviews. So I’m very happy about that. plus last night I had animation dream of one piece out of all things, why is this a good thing well because my mind is getting ready to dump out it addictive behavior. I started wondering when it would happen and last night it did. I’m still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible plan. I think that it. (By the way there won’t be exceptions after this, this was one time deal, so don’t think I’m rationalizing things.)

Day 16 Today was a lot fun at my local church event, just trying to interact with everything is very tiring, they had bounce houses, water ballon toss, and other stuff. Very fun day. Plus got coffee at local coffee shop to. I think that about it, I’m still reading book of proverbs and my regular Bible plan. I do have a meditation app I listen to called soultime Christian meditation in addition to everything else, so those wondering if I have meditation app, I do and it clams me down. that it for today. Grateful: 1.God 2.Guardian Angels 3.Bible 4.Church 5.Family 6.Friends 7.Safety 9.Home 10.Car

Day 15 So far so good , today was the local event for 3 days, and there was one thing I could not control. So this not a relapse since I did not go chasing after animation afterwards, but we did watch an animated movie as a group, this was unavoidable because it was out my control, and if I played on the phone people would have asked about the movie. That why is the rare expectation I made first in this post since certain things are out of my control. As for the rest day it went fine, got groceries, ate out, read in my kindle then went to another local church for personal reasons. Plus I went to bed at 9:00am and woke at 5:00am which I’m happy about. I think that it for today. I’m still reading book of Proverbs and my regular plan.

Day 14 ya 2 weeks down. I’m so happy about that. Not as hard as I thought it be too. So today is my online friend last day at my online church he moving on to something else (good thing) but we can still chat. Happy about that. Tomorrow my local church is having 4 day event morning event kind early not 6:00am early. But I’m only going to three since those were the only areas I could drive to or felt comfortable to drive to. So not much pc stuff will be done this week. So the one thing I’m really thinking seriously about is coding, specifically webpages, I have found website called codepen and tutorials series that fits with an idea I had for a very long time. Plus I have a bunch of easy in step books to learn c# , and python. (Actual physical books). Expect one is kindle book. So not sure when I will do this but I see it as the next step, like to learn blender again to. I think that it today and I m still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible plan. If you want know what chapter I’m on in book of Proverbs it’s the day number in bold. Grateful: 1.God 2.Jesus 3.Holy Spirit 4.bible 5.Church 6.Family 7.Friends 8.Guardian Angels 9.Safety 10.Car

Day 13 So what I did today is me and my mom visited my aunt her sister in group home and I got her some new games for her iPad and we worked on puzzle. Plus I read some of the blogs I like to read as well. Still reading book of Proverbs as well my regular Bible plan. Grateful: 1.God 2.Bible 3.Church 4.Family 5.Friends 6.Safety 7.Car 8.House 9.Money 10.food

Day 12 I need to explain what’s happening. So first of all, this is the first type of fast I have done on this subject and it takes me bit longer than 2 weeks to complete this transition. I’m in a transition phase where I’m transitioning from one thing to another and it not easy. During this transition phase is leaving my online church behind in favor of something better at my local church. This one I had to make very hard decision on. Though when I made the decision God provided volunteer's there to replace me and so I know I’m in God will now. The second transitions I’m is seeing what life is like without animation taking up my time. And to be honest it wonderful, I feel more at peace, getting better sleep. So my guess my the end of the month I or next month I will finally have completed this transition to this new life style. So I hope I explained things a little clearer on this and why it may not seem like I’m progressing this the reason. As for other things I did today I did OT, got gas in my car and came home not much to write about at home except watched a few videos. Sure I like to be more productive but next week is out of the question because I have full week at my local church Sunday-Wednesday. So nothing write about next week either. Watched another Christian DVD Ragamuffin I believe is the name of the movie, might be me but I really just like hooking dvd player and just watching a movie no phone or pc to distract me just the movie itself. Let me know if you enjoy doing this? Plus do to our dog having so much energy, I may have to walk her outside in our neighborhood twice (yes that much energy). I think that about it. Still reading book of Proverbs as well my regular Bible. In case you’re interested here link the Bible plan that I’m currently doing or do your own.

Day 11 So today I had couple of meeting with my online church and reasons I’m leaving the online the church and now it set in motion. The Last day is August 25 and that what I’m sticking with. This and I have peace about this decision. There really not much that else that happens today and I’m still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible.

Day 10 So today went to my local church and then went to eat, hung out with them. After that I went coffee shop then went home and had meeting with online group that helped me some windows updates issues I having but other than that pretty laid back day. Still reading book of Proverbs as well as my regular Bible. That it for today grateful: 1.God 2.Bible 3.Church 4.Family 5.Friends 6. Safety 7.Car 8.House 9.Money 10.Food

Day 9 So not much happening today except a family gathering, so nothing to write home about. So I m couniting the book of proverbs today as well as well my regular bible. I will share that one my favorite Christian artist is called Sons of Korah who sings the psalm and their style music very different than what you would normally here: Sons Of Korah Psalm 1 Just because this song is one style does not mean their all this way, they have different styles of music to different plasms. Finished some edits on some videos for my online church and making sure there good once that done I will not need to worry that though no recording will be possible this week due to local church in the morning and another meeting tomorrow night and more Thursday so that why it will be pushed back. I think that it for today Grateful: 1.God 2.Bible 3.Church 4.Family 5.Friends 6.Saftey 7.Car 8.Home 9.money 10.Food

Day 8 Today I had to go to PT(physical Therapy much needed) as well went out somewhere to eat for dinner and enjoyed a men’s group I go too at another local church in my area. Plus having I’m having a hard time doing my normal routine of no digital detox today but that okay. The only reason is because I was organizing an online group that’s I’m apart of separate from my online church and just wanted to see that complete because I dislike doing halfway complete then completing weeks later. So that why did that. But did a week ya!! One week down let’s see how this upcoming week will prevail. I won’t be able to much YouTube stuff this week but that okay I will eventually find the time to do it. Plus reading my next chapter in Proverbs as well. I think that it for today.

@Amphibian220 While I do need something to relax with most are going to be live action Christian movies and lately been watching a lot history stuff and some cruise stuff. The good thing about this it’s much tougher on me and I don’t end up watching as much and my bed time is getting better. This is just focused on anime and animation even Christian animation series for the time being I will not be watch ing,but sticking to live action movies. I liked to do reviews of them but unfortunately I don’t have blog site to do those as of yet. Yes I’m working on more purposeful life that is less digital. The goals right now is to finish my online church and things are set in motion on august 25, this what I already promised so it’s what I’m sticking to. My goal eventually is to get more involvement in the autistic community at my local church and will probably be volunteering their not to long after. I do read books and the current one called Invasion at night and have workbook for other things. Just because I don’t have written out right doesn’t mean I don't do things outside of PC stuff. I’m hardly on mainstream social media expect YouTube. I love creating stories and movies because their sense of purpose their and that why I’m trying hard to do a longer term plan for YouTube. I will take these little victories to get to more big victory, happening slowly for sure, but I react a little slower so takes time for me put a plan in place before I do it. So now I have to focus on maintaining the friends I do have. hope this clears things up a little bit.

Day 7 So much to write today, though I went to my real life church bible study which was fun just hung out around a couple of stores and ate somewhere as well as going to my online church and that about all I did today. One thing I am thinking of is getting into coding. Coding and programing are two different things. What the difference I m not sure sure but someone can claim explain that in simple terms what makes them them different, would be much appreciated? I found a website called codepen.io and YouTube tutorial which highly simple to help me learn HTLM and CSS code but I m not doing this right now why? My focus is to get my YouTube channel going again while pretty much all the scripts are done, it going to take some time to get recordings done for these scripts, this a long term goal so I can spend more time with family or friends without thinking of another video, second I need to edits to another video for my online church before I ready to get into this. I will read my next chapter in the Book of Proverbs. That it for today and the reason I want learn code is test an idea I have that all. Let me know in the comments below if you have heard of codepen?, Used it?, Good or bad? Grateful 1.God 2.Bible 3.Church 4.Friends 5.Family 6.Saftey 7.House 8.Health 9.Car 10.Money

Day 6 So not much happening today, read a few Christian blogs, some videos with no animation all live action and checking up on p2p network videos I have been meaning to watch. So far so good. One thing I should note when doing these detoxes is to stick to one detox, so say your on gaming detox I would just stick to just that gaming detox instead doing a detox of everything at once because you will drive yourself crazy if you do. That and you won't survive very long. This why I m doing the anime detox now even though though I don't watch anime and have not watched anime in a very along time their seemed to be some lingering effects from YouTube. One thing I have noticed is I don't spend as much time on YouTube as I did before. Its kind nice and peaceful. Now I will read the chapter in book of Proverbs which is actually in Tree of Life Bible but I use the Voice Bible for my daily reading. Already tried to due them both at the same time, gave me a headache so that no go. I do Christian mediation as well. I think that it for today.

Day 5 So far no luck updating pc but realized that some of the extensions where having trouble logging in email, so far no animation expect maybe slides or paintings of some type that speaks of history. Did few OT (working arms) today and maybe read the next chapter in proverbs and watch a movie. Outside of this there nothing else to write about. Grateful: 1.God 2.Jesus 3.Holy Spirt 4.Bible 5.Church 6.Friends 7.Family 8.House 9.Car 10.Saftey

Day 4 So not much happening today, had few cancellations today one with an online friend meeting for my online church and that was due because we going to go somewhere with my aunt. That kind fell through and so both fell through. So not much to say there. Earlier today me and my mom walked our dog and walked around the neighborhood. This dog has a lot of energy, no I mean it non stop energy in the morning and all day. I’m talking about that hyper. Through I found a little trick to wear her out and that when we’re walking is to run to the end of the where you turn around go back where you came from starts with c just can’t spell it. Do that two times and she out like light. But she loves chasing a ball to. So ya she has a lot of energy maybe need two walks a day. i m also going stay away from puppets to so what might do is stay away from almost anything animation, not easy but it forces me to think differently and hopefully learn new things. Slides are okay or tutorials to learn how to do something that want learn is okay. Because then I grow in that skill. Watched some videos on p2p network it fascinating but not something I want to try out. And some other YouTube videos too since the internet was down, not much do with that. Second I seem to having trouble updating my window 10 pc (I built this pc and call it a workstation pc) though most will see it as gaming pc. The problem with this update is that it downloads fine but but never installs and has this error. I have used troubleshooter, restarted pc, had vpn on and off and still saying Encouter problem and waited the next day to. When it comes to I willing to do some things but the movement you say I need to delete files, or use command prom I get a little hesitant since I could brick the pc so I would rather have more surface level fixes and yes I have updated the bios to. I have 32Gbs of ram so memory is not issue neither is storage since it 1TB m.s ssd. So I’m not sure what going here. Please don’t say live with that get me more upset. I will be probably read the next chapter of book of Proverbs tonight. So I think that it for today. Grateful: 1.God 2.Bible 3.Church 4.Friends 5.Family 6. Safety 7.Car 8.Home 9.Food 4.Money

Day 3 So far very good day. I went to church in my area and did some activities there then we decided to go to lunch and enjoyed the company of my friends there. After that I went Zevia hunting (alterative coke products without sugar and 0 calories) and stocked up and read the first book of Proverbs. So not much happening today but so far so good. Let's see what the weekend brings. Grateful 1.God 2.Bible 3.Church 4.Friends 5.Saftey 6.Car 7.House 8.Food 9.Water 10.Money

I did not see this question asked before so I decided to ask here since something I struggle with. How do you make exercise more fun? Like make exercise feel less mundane and something enjoyable? Before you ask 1.I have go to gym before, listen music, did the cycles, swimming (which I enjoyed), and tried some gym classes there were not for me. Most of these I felt were boring. And I not talking about an downloading an app and relying on that either something non electronic. 1.For example how would you make sit-ups more fun? Or Lunges? Or walking? I did event one game that has me walking in stores 1.Rule 1: park at the furthest space in a shopping complex (stay safe). 2.Rule 2: You can’t go into any of your favorite stores 3.Rule 3: Walk the whole complete and finding interesting stores you want to go to. 4.Rule 5 go into those interesting stores. I seem to like geocaching, dancing. Seems when I driving now I did an I spy game to keep focused to. I tried hiking a couple of times but too in shape to do it. So what some ways you have made excerise for more fun and feel less mundane because be nice to see some suggestions. Thanks.

Day 2 So today has been successful maybe a little slip watching another video sort of making fun of the online church I m apart of but other than that a good day. So a few things I did accomplish today is I finishing a 2021 project called Dancegirl, I had completed the animation and scripts and had one actor for it but at the time I had no idea how couple of the voice acting sites worked or how to send scripts then got involved with online church and never finished it. Now I have voice actors for this project and hope to complete it soon if anyone is curious here an early trailer I made DanceGirl Trailer Then finished 40 day retreat of scripture of my bible and yes I did that 40 days the next book I will read is book of Proverbs. Then went online bible study and learning some interesting things there. So not much going on plus I m trying to take one project at time now. But since I m in waiting for another actor I will need to complete some YouTube recordings next and write more scripts so I get more videos out and if you have not seen my channel here it is getting back into Animated Christians . I just got lost in the online church that this collected dust for a long time so I hoping to upload more videos soon but takes a lot of work to make these videos so might take some time before I can release them. That it for today. Grateful: 1.God 2.Jesus 3.Holy Spirit 4.Bible 5.Family 6.Home 7.Church 8.Friends 9.Car 10.Safety

Day 1 So this the first day of the fast, normally today I would avoid all electronic devices but I’m making expectations here so I can write down my thoughts. It just occurred to me as a former anime fan that it very isolating experience, even when I was little kept it to myself. Let’s back up I m not sure how got into it wether it was videos games then anime or anime then video games like which came first the chicken or the egg? Not sure. The first exposure I got is probably the Pokémon trading card game in school and kids showing me the nine tales hologram trading card and thought it was the coolest thing ever. And not too long I was switching between the tube portable tv (this is 90s after all) and found kids wb and Saturday morning cartoons and Pokemon seemed to be the first thing I saw and loved it and it theme song. Know this I’m not person of faith at this time and I obbessed with this much more than Mario on nes that we had. Eventually got a gameboy color and played red, and yellow plus gold and Sliver which I did not like at the time but yellow was my gam. Playing day and night my parents got worried and took it do to obsessive nature of me. Found a few friends with Gameboy link cables where we could exchange Pokémon and brought it to school one day without my biological dad noticing and left there and had tell my parents to take me back so I can pick up. I mention this because school was very hard for me, my age is right but the mental age is behind which made it very hard for me to relate to anyone. I remember I had girl friend NOT girlfriend that I hang out with for a lot when we were kids but my obsessive nature drove her away and my parents divorced and we moved down south. I was so into this anime thing that lost track what it was going to me. It isolated me because I had no one to share my interest with. Not even my parents would understand the draw, one time every one went downstairs at my aunts house and watched and it felt embarrassing to be interested in these things. Then I decided to take away for a time being and it worked but I tried again on gameboy sp and the same obsessive behavior happened. So I found faith in church in 2003 and am baptized and decided to burn every pokemon stuff I had. That was my choice. For awhile that worked I focused a lot better, improving myself then found Pokémon equivalent shows like lilo and stitch the series and going through teenage years without much of biological father. And found porn through deviant art. This and I had obsession with cow and chicken. I decided to try anime again and this time stay away from pokemon and mostly watched dubbed shows even asked pastor about this. Then in 2014 I discovered sub anime with a ton of content to watch, you to watch 2 hours a week yet I felt I could not share this passion with anyone at the time. I discovered Christian who dubbed anime and few Christian anime websites but that still didn’t help heck I even went to anime conventions as well. while in 2014 I gave up console gaming, and discovered pc gaming and Steam and visual novels because as long as there not game then be fine. That sent me in deeper rabbit hole than I wanted to because I played those gaming craving friendship and dating but in the form of anime and vr but never pursued it. In 2017 I discovered game quitters and I have whole journey seeing where I came from. But an online church I m apart of is in a platform called VRchat and I got addicted again this time cuteness as attractive. In 2021 I gave that platform up (not on steam but oculus quest). The one thing I noticed any time I gave up something God blessed me for example when I gave up gaming for a season I got a job and when I gave up anime God gave me a church. I write this to show you how interwoven video games and anime are together and how they connect to porn as well. Second reason is for people to see my story and where I came from. Now I’m the present day I still doing online church on occasion but now have a real life church and friends. Go to another church as well for other personal things. While I do not have job a at the moment I would like to help autistic people who may be struggling. My goals 1. Complete a Animation Project 2.YouTube recording hopefully tomorrow. There anime extension that I use that blockes anime as well. And I use leech block extension as well to keep me more productive. The browser I use is currently Vivaldi browser and love it keeps me organized and focused on what I want focus on. I should clarify that this does not mean I can’t watch animations or different art styles just not the anime art style. my goal is eventually is to learn 3D modeling in blender but right now Youtuebe and this other project are occupying my time. will right more tomorrow thanks for reading and saw Pokémon magazine in grocery store but looked away so day one a successful. grateful. 1.God 2.Bible 3Church 4.Family 5.Safety 6.Car 7.Food 8.Water 9.House 10.Money

So starting tomorrow will be my first day. I wanted to share this book I read on this subject and boy does go into deep stuff. Here a link if anyone is curious about this but may be not be ready to take this on Anime attraction, benefits, dangers psychological and Spiritual perspectives
