Day 3: No gaming. did my daily workout goal

Day 2: No gaming did workout and read books

Day 1: No gaming - Workout and reading books. Very good day. I am sick today. I have sore throat, hopefully, it is not Covid-19!

I will force myself to read for 30 mints and workout for 30 mints as well. I will post my daily progress here. I found gaming is linked to lose sight of my long term goals. Being physically fit and knowledgeable are what I am passionate about. For that, it is clear why I start gaming whenever I stop doing my workout and reading my books.

I have to start again. I am feeling bad for myself. I went back to all my post from beginning and remember those days with no gaming. I had more than six months without gaming. I can do it again. I have to make myself more discipline.

I played again on the 5th day! and this is the second day of a new detox. I know I have to abandon it.

Day 3: No gaming 🙂

Day 2: No gaming

Day 1: No gaming. Starting over to stop gaming for the better.

I played again! I can't believe why it should be so hard to stop gaming for ever! I have been struggling with this more than a year now! wow unbelievable!

Starting over with day 1 of detox: I did resist the temptation to game last night. I am going to focus on my goals and reasons why I have to abandon gaming and let that instant gratification goes away.

That is definitely correct and I have to stop the temptations before late. I know its gonna ruin my life before I know it. Thanks for the advice.

Okay, I fell for it again last night! I think it was okay though. After 20 days of hard work, gaming for 2-3 hours is acceptable if I am not doing it again at least for a week or two. Regardless, I have to reset this detox. This is nothing but painful to start over 😞 That 2-3 hours wasted on gaming was the time I should have spent on workout and reading.

Day 17, 18 and 19 (Sep. 19 to 21): Thankfully, I was too busy to think about gaming! 🙂 Gaming did not even cross my mind, which is great! I have to stay busy 😄

Day 15, 16 (Sep.17, 18th): I did not game in these two days. I did well, stayed focused and motivated.

Day 13,14 (Sep. 15,16th): I played again on Sep. 15th. In fact, I did not do anything productive that day which is a shame! However, I am back on track again so that was a short relapse. Hopefully, I can avoid another relapse. I am feeling motivated today which is good.

Day 12 (Sep. 14th): I am feeling good today. I am a little stressed out but overall, I am doing good. Today, I want to spend more time on spirituality. I need a bit of mental relaxation and healing.

Day 11 (Sep. 13): I did not play last night even though I was very bored. I was not sure how to pass the time. I felt down and could not focus much on my work. Anyway, I procrastinated a little bit in the social media and read for half an hour before going to bed. That was such a big accomplishment in my view because I was depressed and bored but yet did not game. Today, I am feeling better and motivated. I will try to use any second of my time to move forward for my goals and dreams.

Day 10 (Sep. 12th): I had an okay day today. I am feeling a little tempted to play some games! I guess I am a little bored with life. There is not much I can do at this time. I spend most of my day with my family. I did some exercises, and read books for 1.5 hours. I need to remember and focus on my feelings after gaming. Gaming destroys my self confidence and has to be avoided at all cost!

Day 9 (Sep. 11): I am doing well today as well. I have no temptation for gaming which is awesome 🙂

Day 8 (Sep. 10): No temptation and no gaming. All good and healthy 🙂 Today, I finished my dissertation and sent it to my supervisors for review. I am planning to graduate in two months and super excited about it 🙂

Day 7 (sep 9): I am excited to pass a full week with no game/temptation. This is a good start and I am looking forward to the next week 🙂

Day 6 (Sep. 8): No gaming. No temptation and all is good so far 🙂

Day 5 (Sep.7): No gaming. No temptation. That is great 🙂

Day 3, 4 (Sep. 5,6) I did not play any game. Have been focusing on my goals, personal development, family, physical health, etc. So far so good. Four with no games which is a good start. I also had no temptation in the these days which is great.
