I just came here to say that I did not play a single game in the past 10 months! Finally did it. 2022 was amazing :)
-
day 15 and 16: I haven't played any games yet but I have strong urges to play a few games tonight! Not sure what to do now! I think that I can play a game or two and that's gonna be it. Playing in moderation. However, I know this a trap 😞
-
Day 13 and 14: I was tempted to play in the past two days but managed to control myself. It was very close, indeed! It is very critical for me not to play.
-
Day 12 of detox: Just a typical day with no temptation for gaming. I worked, cooked lunch, played with my son and went to the gym.
-
Wow this is so comprehensive! You keep track of everything! 🙂
-
Day 7 to 11: I am doing very good. I have no temptation. spending quality time with my son and wife. Working passionately at nights or going to the gym.
-
Day 7: No gaming Went to gym 1.5 hours Watched Netflix - 2 hours Worked for 4 hours
-
Day 3 to 6: I don’t have any cravings. I am working most Of my time. I am still doing 3 days per weak workout as a minimum. I have been working over the past few weekends, and I need to work this weekend as well. I am seriously considering improving my relationship with my spouse. Also, spending more quality time With my son.

Day 2: No gaming

Hi @BooksandTrees I just came back and happy to see that you still writing here 🙂 I always admire you. I look at your posts and tell myself that if you did, I should be able to do it too no matter how hard or impossible it sounds. Thanks for being an exemplar for me.

I am back again to start a new detox. I should admit my life has improved a lot since I started to quite gaming. Even though I have failed to quite gaming yet, I made significant progress in my life by just tryimg to quite! I have spend about 2-3 hours daily gaming and that is still quite a lot. I have to quite gaming to live a life I desire. This is the first day of the new detox. I did workout for two hours and read book for 1.5 hours. I have been doing workout at least three days a week in the past two months. I have been eating healthy food and keeping track of carb and calories intake in the past two months. I think I am ready for the detox now 🙂 lets do it!

Day 6: I woke up this morning at 7:50 am for work. I was dreaming playing dota 2 with my favorite character 😂. The dream was super fun so I tried to get back to it for another 10 minutes so I can enjoy a bit more of it. It didn’t happen so I woke up and start working after a quick breakfast. so yea, today, I have strong temptations. I am very tired because of hard work and now feel so bored. I have nothing to enjoy other thab gaming! That’s obviously a big issue. My routine while not gaming is just self-development. So whenever I stop gaming, I just do daily workout, meditation and all these type of self-improvement. I can start watching Netflix so I can relax and have fun. However, after watching Netflix for a while, I would feel wasted again and then probably relapse. I feel that now that I am wasting my time on Netflix, why not game so I enjoy it at least. I won’t relapse tonight since I am serious to end this gaming issue but I know I am close to relapse. I need to do something about it. as @Ikarmentioned, I may just go for a walk knowing that tomorrow is a new day. I don’t want to get depressed again. It’s already weekend but I have nothing fun to refresh for the next week. I have to play with my son all day long for the next two days and at nights, doing workout and meditations! Also, there are some work-related things that I have putting off for a while and need to do sooner or later. So it’s basically work, work and work for me😞 My relationship with my wife is also bad so I don’t see much light in my life 😞

Day 5; pretty healthy day with no gaming temptations! woke up 7 am and did yoga for 30 mints, meditation for 5 and start work at 8:30. Finished work, played with my son and hit the gym for a 30 minutes cardio exercise. it’s a bit late now but going to bed; hopefully, can wake up early enough in the morning to do the yoga before work.
-
Thanks for all this. Not really, I don’t have any help. Have to do it on my own. I surely cannot have a healthy lifestyle while gaming. I know I should stop it at all cost. Gaming is just a waste of time; this bothers me a lot. I may enjoy gaming at the moment, but have to live with depression if I game. I want to make good use of my time so I feel proud of myself. That’s what makes me happy in life. Creating some kind of meaning in life rather than pointless gaming! I’ll continue doing my diaries here; hopefully, I’ll get over it this time.
-
Wow, you’ve been game free for 909 days! how did you make this work? I’ve tried for two years but it failed hard. Please give me some advice. Thanks
-
Day 4 with no temptations. It used to be difficult to stop gaming even for a few days but thankfully, I am not getting any temptations! hope I can keep this up. As usual, worked the day, spent evening with my son and did some yoga-meditation before hitting the bed. I will read a bit before sleeping 🙂
-
I ended up doing workout and meditation tonight 😃 so far so good
-
Day 3: Little to no temptations. I worked during the day and play with my son after work. I also cleaned the house. My son went to bed so I have some free time now. I want to go to gym but feel so tired! I need to buy some groceries. Don’t have too much time during the weekdays and I get so tired after work 😞
-
Thanks @ChewyChickenBones😃
-
Day 2: I did not have any temptations for the 2nd day. I am very tired today since I couldn’t sleep well last night (my son is sick😞). Worked the whole day and spent the rest with my son. I did clean up the house. I am going to meditate and read before falling sleep. I am happy that the 2nd day of detox was a breeze. I am so happy that I am doing this 😊😊😊 I am planning to wake up earlier in the mornings so gonna go to bed as early as 9-10 pm
-
Day 1: - did not play games - workout - read books - meditate 😊😊😊
-
It absolutely is detrimental. I feel so depressed just because of gaming. I am going to try as hard as I can. I will continue even if I relapse a thousand times! I am going to make it work 😊

I am back after seven months. I bought a high-end computer and monitor in March 2021 and totally gave up on quitting. Here is what happened: I have been working 7.5 hours, five days a week, and gaming 3-4 hours every night. On the weekends, I have been with my son during the day and start gaming at nights. It’s been very upsetting for me since I am literally behind my computer most of the waking hours either working or gaming. I feel very depressed and my physical health is deteriorating due this hectic lifestyle. in 2020 that I was active here, I was going to the gym 3 days a week on average and I finished 12 non-fiction books. During my detox, I felt so happy and strong: in control of my life. This year, on the other hand, I have finished one book and have been to gyn 4-5 times a month on average. This gaming disorder is killing me slowly. I need to stop it to gain my strength, motivation and happiness in life. The temptation is so hard to resist so not sure what I should do. I am here again to give it another try because that’s all can do. This is my first day for a 90-day detox.

Thanks man for the support. I can't do it. I have been trying for more than two years and I am relapsing all the time! I am embarrassed and not sure what to do
-
I relapsed again and have been playing 2-3 hours per night in the past 20 days. I am feeling very bad about it. I have a tough deadline next week and due to gaming, I won't be able to make it. I am very stressed and not sure what to do. Also gaming every night kinda disrupt my sleeps. I am in trouble and can't really bypass this shitty gaming habit. when I don't play, I am bored yet very productive. When I play, I am kinda happy because it's fun but I am feeling very bad about my work and life. I am not spending enough time with my boy. I am not cooking and not cleaning my apartment. I hate this lifestyle!
