After my first ever 2-day hiking + camping trip at Oze National Park, I'm surprised at how much my body could do and how little fatigue I feel now.
The highlight was walking down some frighteningly steep paths to see the Sanjo Falls, an enormous and gorgeous waterfall that we had to ourselves.
A great big thanks goes to my best friend, who lent me shoes & rucksack, and carried all of the heavier equipment to make my rucksack lighter.
Games were unexpectedly on my mind quite a lot. It turns out distinctively beautiful nature reminds me of the game's various playing areas.
I found myself keen to play the game again, genuinely interested to roam the magnificent locations once again, which was a feeling I hadn't felt for a very long time.
The addictive behaviour has become enticing again. A positive sign that my brain is reverting to its normal excitement levels! ?
(I searched the web a bit for some nice screenshots, and found them quite underwhelming.)
Addiction recovery, as I understand it now, is 1) letting the behaviour's excitement return, and then 2) ignoring it.
From here on, it seems the new challenge is the ignoring. Glad it isn't looking like much of a challenge.
