    Mohammad, 

    I apologize for being critical of you for your recent posts. Please accept my apology if I sound rude. 

    I just read one or two pages and all you say is you didn't play a game today. You're failing and restarting your day counter and then getting angry that you're failing. 

    Write down why you're failing. We're all strangers here. None of us can offer you help if you're not going to open up and elaborate on why you're failing. I don't know what your hobbies are, what you do for work, do you live alone or have family, are things stressing you out causing you to seek video games as a stress release???

    Since you're not writing about trying to change or giving any details about your experience quitting video games all I can assume is you're going on shear willpower to quit games and battling every day. When you battle every day eventually you lose. 

    Discuss why you're seeking video games, what in your life is a trigger, and formulate some ideas for replacing the need to game. 

    I played games because I was lonely and wanted to get attention and achievement. I now do better at work, rock climb, play board games, and eat out with new friends. I have zero cravings anymore. It's not a battle for me to stay away from games now because I've discovered why I played and replaced the needs. I'm 50 weeks in a row without gaming because I'm no longer fighting. I'm living. 

    I apologize if I sounded rude, but please elaborate on your experience and let us help you. Nobody is going to be able to help if you're just writing a day counter. 

     

    Sorry for just counting my days. I am very busy these days that I tend not to write too much. I am doing well these days. Working very hard, waking up 6 am everyday and reading books at nights. My life has been dramatically improved over the past year when I started letting go of games. I do not have any urge to play and I am not using willpower. I know willpower is a limited source and will deplete very quickly. I recently shifted my mind by focusing on a new game, THE GAME OF LIFE. Why not aim for a victory in the game of life that we are obliged to play? To excel at the game of life, we need to play the game with three fundamental rules.

    Rule 1: You need to enjoy the game to play it well.

    As a result, you have to make life fun and enjoyable. I try to use every element to my benefit. I do meditation to sharpen my senses (touch, smell, sight, taste, hear) so that I can mindfully be present and enjoy every moment. I improved my relationship with my beloved ones (son and wife) to improve my happiness. I surrendered myself to nature's will to let go of stress. There are many ways to live better, healthier and happier. 

     

    Rule 2: You play the game well if you know you will be rewarded.

    pick up a dream for yourself and visualize you have achieved your dream. This is the award of the game that encourages you to play the game in the first place. 

    The dream can be as big as you can imagine. The gates are open, and the limit only exists in your mind.

    Pick a dream that worths playing THE GAME.

    Law of attraction (visualization); setting Long-term goal; build Passion

     

     

    Rule 3: You have to play the game to the end to win, and you have to start over if you fail.

    Constantly be aware of the game, and play the game by its rules.

    persistence and resilience

     

     


    Following these three rules, any dream can come true. ENJOY THE MARVELOUS GAME OF LIFE.

     

    How do I know this three rules are the fundamentals? GRIT is the key to success according to a paper published by Angela duckworth published in the journal of personality (4000 citations; an impressive paper). These three rules in the game will make you gritty and the grit is what you need to make any dream comes true.

    Day 17,18,19,20,21:

     

    No gaming

    I read Think and Grow rich by Napoleon Hill, and it motivated and moved me!

    I have now a very high energy and I have learned how to keep the energy up. 

    That is the end of the gaming habit for me. I have learned life is a better game to play. 

    I recommend reading the book.

    Thankfully, I didn't play last night. I went to the beach today in the morning, and then I came to a coffee shop to study. I will study here and probably will go home when its time to sleep :D

    Think and Grow Rich is a compelling self-help book that gives me what I need.

    I came to a coffee shop for a study. I feel the urge to go home and play. I know it is not just a game, it is my life that is in danger! however, I am fooling myself that its weekend and I can have some fun!

    I also started to read a new book this morning: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. That's a motivational book that I believe I need to get some momentum for the start.

    I read some books in the past few months that I was on 90-day detoxes to name a few: Rich dad poor dad, Sapiens: a brief history of humankind, and Grit: The power of passion and perseverance.
