I recently downloaded the "easy" button from the old Staples commercials (in the US, not sure if you saw those down in AUS). I LOVE pushing it after completing something hard. I smirk every time. ? It's a fun way to add a little video-game psychology to my every-day achievements. And I like how you framed up achievements in your post - this can probably be transferred to 'leveling up' too.
haha that's a funny way to get a boost of dopamine while also bringing light to how silly the digital achievements are.

Welcome Sahar. I hope to visit Israel some day.

Urges will pass just hang in there. Try to exercise move your body get outside if possible. Use the pomodoro technique to do other activities like learning to code. Do it for 30 minutes and then take a non-digital break like going to get a cup of tea.
This is a new experience for you, be patient, it gets better.

I used to smoke pot to cure boredom as well. Identifying that I smoked pot just for "variety" helped me change - instead I could go to the gym or go for a run or something to feel different. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbMjSLiEXj0

Gaming definitely numbs, and one of the transitions you make after you quit is beginning to feel again. That can be a bit intense and confronting but also very freeing as you learn to navigate your emotions. The emotions were there all along, you were just avoiding them. @giblets has come far in this process, maybe he has some advice.

Gym is the best. I'm about to go myself. After 3 weeks I find it becomes harder to not go than to go.
