  1. glad you could could make I m still new to this journet myself
  2. Day 3 of respawn and I did not really know how addicted I was until last night since I went cold turkey no games, no game videos, nothing hard yes but challenge at best and sometimes I like the challenge because it means bettering myself and the reward for achieving hard challenge is good. I had dream of one my games I had played for my games I played for years and was on a boat ride seeing this massive structure and remember floating away and big wall was placed between me and the game as I slowly left. Plus for the first time I got bored not knowing what to do for the first time which seemed exciting that now I have find something else, but also my excitement is wearing off and the real challenge is about to begin.
  3. sounds like you have plan but like others I m afraid you will burn out too soon. Being detail is good and all but I have done this type thing before where I had everything planned out and it will work for maybe a week or to then it kind dies out, so it may not burn out now but it will. I would suggest doing one thing at time then start adding things to it, If it your work then understandable of the deadlines you have to keep but for yourself do one step at a time. I'm still new to this experience myself.
  4. nice journal and I do know what like to limit video games and it works for a little bit but ultimately does not fix the problem it more like putting bandage on it without giving it proper treatment. I m with you on this journey I m only on day 2 of the detox though I started on September 1.
  5. Okay day 2 of respawn, I kind do things different where I watch the video first then write here then I take break just let everything sink in and come back do the workseheets and do the forums but I have run into a rather interesting situation. the other day one my gamer friends just emailed after I had farewell party and gave them the resources needed and somehow lost the data the gave them and I m trying to figure out how to respond to them. I can do one of 2 of things one find the sites and links they need or say I no longer apart of it and apparently I do not know what to do do? This person wants help because they were my successor in game and I have deleted anything to do with the game. So if anyone can post here and tell what the best response is that be great, never mind I just emailed the person, second is I was unable to do some the things above but one thing I think I have achived is that watching and listening faith based stuff is working currently so earlier time will have to come later.
  6. Thanks to everyone who has responded, I was looking at other people post to reply to. Now I have a confession to make here tetchily I did start cold turkey September 1 but that was mostly the fundamentals and I can official say I have started Day 1 of Respawn. Sorry about that I have completed my worksheet for today and will be finishing up a couple of things today and for those wondering if I m too much on faith based stuff. The reason behind it is because watching and listening to both inspires me and makes me feel clean. Second I should note to this day at AWA I have yet to figure out where those video game rooms are (the arcade yes) but the other one not so much cause I never went to it when I went last year, I'm busy going and trying to attend every panel or anime or japan culture since it still fantasizes me and a lot of has to do that I m anime fan and like all kinds of anime though it hard to find faith based people to talk to about that, So I hope this clears up some confusion some of you my be having when I was doing this.
  7. I understand not do to many things at once but there few things are necessity for me that have to be done and was thinking of this last night that I need to focus on one thing at time for 21 days. So what are some of my necessity 1.Faith based stuff (listening and watching) this I m currently doing. 2.Eating healthily (needs to be done, I m not overweight or anything it just I m not happy on how I look right now) 3.Going to be early by 10:00pm is gonna be my goal plan for the next 21 days 4.Go to gym when I get a chance to. 5.The reorganization or Reconstruction as I m doing is the first thing I m doing because one keeps me busy and second I have been meaning to do it for a very long time. 6.Movie production I will try to get that started but not my main focus right now.
  8. Yep I m set time I will do these things that I did few years back and the earlier the better and I have add on on my Firefox called Leech-block and allows me to block sites at certain times and I can set up where I cant change it, So for example I have YouTube and few other sites only for weekends while during the week I cant access them, this way when Friday comes I have something like reward system saying now after all my hard work I can watch YouTube. This help me previously in the past.
  9. Okay I now have committed to the 90 days detox and the reason for it is because in the past when I did play video games I would think they were taking up to much of my time so I would try limiting them by playing on certain days and even have fasted 30 days without video games before a couple of times and always noticed an improvement with my life when I did that. This I count as day 3 of the 90 day detox. Now yesterday I went over to my grandparents and played bingo played a machine not because of video game more like it easier for me to understand so say they call b 10 then I type 10. I do not know whether you consider that video game or not. Second think I have VR headset Merge VR and have been looking at VR app called Trinus VR yes it use for video games but I mostly just want to use to watch show like imax that my main purpose for it, not so much video games but if you feel like trending water I might get rid of it. Now yesterday I said I had stragey plan in which I do and here it for this month Starts September 5 after labor day. 1.Eat Healthy 2.Gym (workout) 3.Movie production project (I have animation software I use though it was built in game in game engine I do not consider it video game) 4.Closets and clothes ironed out and clean (this taking longer cause I want to do deep clean and not light clean) 5.Watch and listen to faith based stuff at certain times. (this I have already started.) Now I started this last year in which I would make rule and that rule must be followed for 3 weeks or 21 days because takes that long to make new habit to get rid of the old one then after 21 days I would add another rule and since first rule is first established I can not change it so I have to work around the new rule in addidition to the 1 rule example 1.Workout early in the morning (21 days) 2.Watch TV next ( next 21 days) Watch TV can not conpromise the first rule meaning I cant watch tv in the morning because I have already established workouting in the morning. So I have to place TV at different time and that how it works. Now I m considering getting account with meetup but I a little cautious of them because I have read bad reviews from them before but that was like back in 2012 or 13 cant remember. I should also note I will be going Anime Atalanta Weekended. I think that it for today not sure what I gonna write tomorrow but I hope this helps with you see some my goal plans,,
  10. I think I played because I wanted to escape real life problems more so and felt that there was a soical connection with video games. It was not until I noticed people moving away from video games that I started to feel depressed and wanted that social connection again though I never built the skill to make friends. So I escaped to video games hoping online matching and stuff would help but nothing did, I instantly became bored with them because I thought maybe it just the new video games weren't fun or I need a new one to keep up with a trend. As I saw other people get on with their lives I wondered what I could do to have the social experience again of having but of friends and that when I discovered (though I have played all the games in the series) called Myst Online Uru Live again. A free MMO game which you could make friends again and I did and got more involved than I expected to be until I noticed the friends I got to know left and unlike other MMO games, this had a more family atmosphere. You see even for me I never developed the social skills to make friends was mostly reserved when talking with people in the church but when I came home I was either on my PC or console playing hoping one day to move away from this life style. Sort like you wants to get somewhere without doing the work. I had many ideas never came to pass that now I feel I can accomplish and I have to say everything seems so refreshing. This day 2 and I have started doing some reorganization in my room not that it was messy but I want everything to be neat and clothes ironed out and when I played a video game I had no motivation to do these things even though I was not playing I still felt obligated to play. I think tomorrow I will discuss a strategic plan I have made for myself.
  11. Hello, everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for letting me join your group. A little history of me is I use to play video games from the 90s until 2011 where I noticed that console games were no longer fun, I kept buying them but never really playing like a collectors item. In 2010 I worked at entry level job and noticed I noticed I wanted more out life but I did not know how to move on. So in 2011, I joined an MMO game to help make new friends since outside I m really reserved person in big groups and thought I have more fun with it. (on laptop at the time) Plus every time I got know someone they would either leave or not want to build a new relationship. I did join a machinima job called TMU in 2012 that I learned how to make the animation which was really fun and still does. So I did and noticed that I was playing my console games less and less and so I had a friend help me build my own custom computer in February 2014. It was not until the end of 2014 that I decided to quick console games altogether and packed them and put the under the house where I never see them again. Now for 4 months, I felt refreshed and ready to take on the world in January 2015-April 2015 then got depressed again. In December of 2015, I got a steam account (though I did not want one at the time ) and started buying visual novels left and right because they gave a nice escape. Though I have noticed that they game the same addicted feel as video games and in March 2016 I quit my job though I was a good employer. I started not looking for job stop exercising altogether. So this year I decided to get my lift together and to quit my MMO game officially yesterday and I m excited my new journey and hopefully, have new friends that will stick. Plus find job best suited for me.
