  1. The reason I gave up gaming is because it was a major time sink. I was spending hours upon hours of playing every day, and usually I wasn't even that entertained, I was just playing for the rewarding feeling. I don't really watch streams, and if I do, it's usually never for more than 30minutes. There's not a lot of content I like, I tend to get pretty picky ( which I'm happy about so I watch less) so if I am, it's not for more than 3-4 hours on weekends and less than an hour on weekdays. Do you think it would help if I tried to stay away from other playing the games? Thanks a lot for the support, I'll never say it enough. Good luck on your own journey! :D
  2. I don't know why I send this as a reply I quit playing PC gaming on week days 73 days ago. 39 days ago I quit PC completely, and 6 days ago I quit mobile gaming. The urge to play has been uphill ever since 6 days ago, and it keeps increasing, and my brain is making excuses for me to play, which I, luckily, up to now have not acted on. I have watched some videos of people playing the same PC game I was playing almost 3 months ago, I'm not sure if it is, like dangerous, if it will increase the amount and intensity of the urge I have to play. I'm trying to stay away from computers as much as possible, at least if it's not for school.
  3. I honestly want to thank you for all the insight, it's great to talk to people who are going through the same things I am going through. This is important advice, because even if I feel like school is not fun right now, in the future I bet I will look back thinking it was one of the best times of my life. (by the way, if for some weird reason one day you want to do some math, please message me, it would be my pleasure) I wish you a lot of succes on this journey, have a nice day and take care!
  4. Thanks a lot, I usually don't like your videos, but this one was short and full of important content, and I'll make sure to follow the advice you gave as much as I can. Have a good day!
  5. Interessting. Do you think a lot of people have that "addictive personality"? I've seen a lot of people talk about "healthy addictions", although I do not believe in them. One example of what some people call "healthy addictions" is working out instead of playing videos games. My reasoning behind this follows the saying "the dose is the poison". No matter what you are doing, too much will cause trouble. The part about the deeper problem is intriguing. Seems like a very scary and hard thing to deal with, and will probably take a while to solve. You seem to have your strategy down though, I'm happy for you, you're taking it seriously, and I feel it's a very important thing a lot of people don't do. I know it's none of my business, but how old are you? You don't have to answer, I'm just an overall curious person.
  6. is it actually possible to get rid of an addiction without replacing it with another addiction?
  7. I'm having a hard time finding something that can get me the high I used to get from video games. My greatest passion for the past 6 years behind video games has been math, but I don't always feel like doing math (i'm currently solving problems about 4-6 hours a day since i'm on break). I try to run so I don't have to think about video games, but I'm not a very sporty person, so I can't do it for more than 20 minutes. I try to watch movies and youtube videos but they make me sad as I feel unproductive ( a feeling I don't have when playing video games for some extremely weird reason). I'd love to start making money but I'm not even 17 yet and I'm graduating high school in only 2 months. There's not a lot of creative things in my life as I'm more of a numbers person. Thanks a lot for the advice, I think it's great you're helping people on this forum.
  8. Hey guys, my name's Alexis, and I recently quit video games. The reason I signed up here is because I had a quick question. I used to play video games to relax, and feel like I accomplished something. Now that I've quit I'm kind of afraid of relapsing, so I wanted to know if it is worth it to play again to feel relaxed again. Thank you for your time, I apologize for the mediocre english
