  1. Day 13 (January 25th, 2019) How Are You Feeling? I am feeling very tired and a bit sick, but I would not regret this day because I do some great small things. What Did You Do? 1. I woke up like normal, but I stayed in bed because I have stomach cramps. 2. I didn't get up until around 7:50. Instead, I read fanfictions. 3. I went to school, but I almost collapsed and fainted along the way in the train. 4. I rested for a while in school before I joined with Jane and the other volunteers for the Peer Mentoring Training Session. 5. Another volunteer and I went to one of the workshops to help out new students connecting them into the college's Wi-Fi and introducing the college's website. 6. I cleaned the tables in the living room. 7. I ate out with my family and my aunt's friend outside. 8. I washed my lunch bag because there ants everywhere! 9. I was taking a sneak peek on my school courses for this semester. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 13th day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I helped the new students out. (H) - I won't give up volunteering even if I got cramps and nearly fainted. (H) - I have the initiative to do some cleaning. (H) - I made an excuse to stay on bed and read fanfictions. (L) - I forgot to put away the food from my lunch bag months ago, which caused an infestation of ants in my room. I only realized this after my aunt told me about it. (L) - I was impulsive in wanting to talk with my grandmother when she was talking with someone else. (L) - I still mindlessly browsed through the Internet, although not as bad as two days ago. (L) - I slept pretty late. (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? Since school is coming soon for me, I can prepare for my courses by taking a sneak peek and trying out some of the activities. I should also be more mindful and prepared for several situations, ranging from almost fainting on the way to college to the ant infestation, by taking specific steps before they actually happen.
  2. @arq Eve is my older sister.
  3. Day 12 (January 24th, 2019) How Are You Feeling? I am so happy that there are almost no words to describe this day! My friends, asking for balloons, having tattoos, and generally talking with people cheers me up a lot today (maybe even more than gaming and watching Youtube did for me). What Did You Do? 1. I woke up fifteen minutes later than normal. 2. I looked at some Harry Potter contents. 3. I walked with my grandmother, and we talked along the way. 4. I took a shower, and then a short talk about thinking independently with my grandmother and uncle before having breakfast. 5. I read and responded to several journals in the forum while I was on my way to school. 6. I had lunch there and talked with my fellow Student Leaders, including my friends Jane, Nadia, Bella, and Yuri (I changed their names to protect their privacy). 7. The girls, the other volunteers, and I prepared the Student Fair venue. The funny thing is that Jane, another volunteer, and I arranged the juice boxes into a formation! (Formation can be seen under the Bonus section) 8. We talked, had glitter and henna tattoos, took photos of our balloons (my balloon is a unicorn), and had a great and fun time! 9. I asked my friends for their Snapchat, since I actually reinstalled Snapchat on my phone. 10. All of the Student Leaders (including me) had a photo together. 11. After everyone left, Nadia and I went to where Nadia works before I left for home. 12. I cleaned the dishes in the living room before going back to check out the forum. 13. I talked with Eve and mom again. 14. I ate dinner with my grandmother while watching the Australian Open. 15. I wiped the tables, grabbed the laundries, vacuumed the floors, and took out the trash. 16. I went on to read some Harry Potter fanfictions. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 12th day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I am pretty consistent with my sleep schedule. (H) - I am back with exercising and this time having the initiative to walk with my grandmother. (H) - I helped a lot during the Student Fair. (H) - I was confident and not afraid in talking with my friends, although I tried my best to not get too excited. (H) - I joined in with the fun that my friends and the other Student Leaders are involved in. (H) - I listened and actually tried to understand what they are talking about. (H) - I succeeded in not putting my hands on my cheeks, even though there were times where I was about to do so. (H) - I replied to other people's opinions, comments, and talk too soon about something irrelevant. (L) - My mind was not working when I took out the trash (the trash cans are not the one I normally use). (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? I can cut down more screen time to be more aware and thoughtful about what am I doing. This can help by reminding myself what am I supposed to do and say. Confidence, wisdom, and willpower are some of the keys to success. Bonus The formation of the juices in the Student Fair:

    I feel bad for what had happened to you, but it's great that you are regaining control over the urge to pull an all-nighter in gaming. As for cravings, I think it is better for you to delete all of the web browsers you used before, as it can cause them to appear and can potentially cause a relapse. I hope that you are doing well and that your sickness will go away soon.
  5. I am also an 18-year old student as well who is currently studying in college. When I quit gaming, I also made similar goals like you, such as the following: - No Video Games - No YouTube I hope that you can make it by the end of the detox and beyond. You are not alone in this. ?
  6. Wow, I am so happy that you get to teach a lab section. I have one piece of advice for you: if that is what you want, then go for it. Just don't forget to take care of yourself and balance your priorities. ?
  7. A week already!? I know you can do it. Keep it up! ?
  8. Good luck on your tests! Make sure that you rest and take care of yourself well, and I am sure it will make a difference. ?
  9. Hmm, this is getting interesting. Good luck on your exams! I hope the girl is the one for you, and vice versa. ?
  10. Day 11 (January 23rd, 2019) How Are You Feeling? I am feeling excited about being a Student Leader for the first day of the Orientation Week, which is today. I also feel a bit nervous, but that is not enough cripple my confidence. However, when I talk with Eve, I feel sad for her and what she had gone through (she understands that it is hard to NOT try to please others). Otherwise, I am bored and don't know what to do. What Did You Do? 1. I got up by 5:30 in the morning to get ready. 2. I went to school to volunteer as a Student Leader. 3. During my volunteering session, I helped with the Parents' Morning Tea and the Treasure Hunt events. 4. When I arrived home, I talked with Eve. 5. I was going to study chemistry, but ending up browsing the Internet mindlessly. 6. I watched more of the semifinals of the Australian Open with my family. 7. I talked with my mom for a while before I returned to the room. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 11th day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I am consistent with my sleep schedule, even though I woke up at 5:30 and slept at around 11:30 last night. (H) - I helped others a lot during the Parents' Morning Tea and the Treasure Hunt. (H) - I did not forget to ask people if they have trash for me to throw, apart from the bottle incident. (H) - I was aware throughout most of the event. (H) - I had confidence when I guided a group during the Treasure Hunt. (H) - I reminded myself to not put my hands on my cheeks. (H) - I forgot to keep my volume down when someone was talking to the crowd aloud. (L) - I took someone's bottle and accidentally threw it away before I found out that it belonged to someone. (L) - I spent too much time on the screen. (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? I can think of a phrase that is repeated: "I must be someone who I want to be, not what others think of me." Also, I can be more positive and attentive to what God wants for me in my life.
  11. Day 10 (January 22nd, 2019) How Are You Feeling? It's nothing out of the ordinary, and I am feeling bored now and then for a few times. What Did You Do? 1. I had quiet time and exercised like usual, but I exercised outside as I might disturbed others from their sleep. 2. After my grandmother went with my aunt to the doctor, I cleaned the windows, took the trash trolleys back in, and made my cousin milk and cereals. 3. I read journals from the forum and replied to some of them. 4. I studied for a while back in my room while my aunt and her friend were talking about transportation. 5. After lunch, I had a phone call with my counselor for about an hour. 6. I spent some time talking with grandmother, my aunt, and my aunt's friend. 7. I went on to the forum and spent some of my time there. I also talked with mom. 8. I helped taking out the groceries and put them on the fridge. 9. I went to the kitchen and continued on my calligraphy. 10. After talking more with aunt, uncle, and gradmother, I read a few journals and comment on some of them. 11. After dinner, I washed the saucepan, closed the curtains, and took out the garbage. 12. My grandmother and I had a small talk while watching the Australian Open. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 10th day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I am consistent with my sleep and exercise schedule. (H) - I also kept up with my morning routine, despite the room change. (H) - I have the initiative to clean the windows, take the trash trolleys back, and make my cousin breakfast. (H) - I am quite aware of my surroundings when I cleaned the windows and putting back the dishes from the dishwasher. (H) - I have the initiative to spend time in a conversation, even though I have not a lot to say (not because I am not confident). (H) - I put the iron in the wrong position. (L) - My hands tend to support my face, which is a gesture that suggests uneasiness. (L) - I tend to get worried about not being perfect (e.g. the way I talk or walk). (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? I can and should be more positive and focus on positive thoughts and perspectives, just like the growth mindset. I will try to be less stiff and more relaxed, a character flaw of my own. At the same time, I want to remind myself to refrain from my other bad habits.
  12. Hello and welcome to the forum! I hope that you have a good time here.
  13. Welcome to the forum! I hope you the best through the detox. If you need any advice or tip, feel free to PM me!
  14. @tgoodner I understand that it can be hard for you not play video games especially in stressful situations. These are my suggestions for you to get started on your re-commitment. They might be helpful or might not, but I am going to give my shot: You can search out workouts in Google and try them if they work for you. You can go for a walk for a while and take a breath of fresh air outside. You can pursue your current hobbies or you can find new ones (there is a section for finding hobbies in Game Quitters).
  15. @dirkj3 Thanks, I feel much more productive and aware than the last week.
  16. Day 9 (January 21st, 2019) How Are You Feeling? My feelings are in a roller coaster today. I feel a strange and different, but healthy kind of euphoria at some times. Other times, I feel a bit down, but I am not sad until my aunt's friend came over to sleep in. Moving to another room makes me anxious that I might not continue to put my good habits into action. What Did You Do? 1. I had quiet time and exercised like usual. 2. I ate breakfast with grandmother, uncle, and aunt. 3. I took a look at the forum for a while. 4. My grandmother taught me how to cook fried noodles. 5. I washed the dishes first after my grandmother demonstrated on how to wash them in her preferred way. 6. I then mopped the floor after my grandmother taught me how. 7. I wrote more of "how-to-do" chores in my phone when my grandmother told me that I forgot to wipe some of the counters. 8. I wiped more of the counters, the table, the fridge, the cupboard, and the tupperware racks. 9. I helped my grandmother with ironing the clothes and my aunt for my aunt's friend to sleep in, meaning I moved some of my clothes and belongings to the room where my grandmother stayed in. 10. My aunt's friend came over. We greeted her as soon as she and her child arrived with my aunt. 11. While they are still talking, I went back to the room (that I mentioned before) for a while. I kept on telling that it will all pass and that it is an opportunity for me to be selfless and creative (about how I spend my morning routine). 12. I talked with my grandmother for a while about me being sad about the room change. She comforted me by saying that they will only be staying here for a week at the most and that this is not something I should be sad about. 13. After dinner, my grandmother, uncle, and I watched the Australian Open again. This time is Novak Djokovic who is playing. I also talked with mom as well. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 9th day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I am consistent with my sleep and exercise schedule. (H) - I started to be more aware of my surroundings while doing all the cleaning. (H) - I recently learned how to mop the floor standing up.(H) - I actually tried my best to understand and accept where my flaws at when I cleaned the dishes, floors, tables, and kitchen counters. (H) - I have the initiative to clean up. (H) - I have another initiative to spend time outside the bedroom. (H) - I still walked like I am angry. (L) - I was still not that aware to my surroundings, even though it is not as bad as last week. (L) - I disturbed my grandmother while exercising in the morning. (L) - I was being emotional over just a room change. (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? Other than reminding myself of what to do and to get rid of my bad habits (e.g. stomping), I can be more aware of my surroundings, especially when everyone is sleeping and when there are things to be cleaned. I also should keep up with the willingness and initiative to do something without being told so by my family.
  17. It's very hard to say, but it's okay to sometimes have doubts and to feel not okay. I am happy that you keep up with the discipline despite all of the hardships you are facing.
  18. This is actually a creative poem! I love how it rhymes.
  19. @sweblade Thank you! Hahaha, you can change if you want to. When I play games, I tend to not spend my time with God. I hope you the best!
  20. @JPAO Thanks a lot! I hope you pass yours as well! ?
  21. I might learn Korean someday, although I am not sure yet.
  22. Day 8 (January 20th, 2019) How Are You Feeling? I feel happy and yet apprehensive about my grandmother coming over, but it's a great day overall. What Did You Do? 1. I went to church in the morning. 2. I went to meet my grandmother and celebrated my other uncle's birthday in a restaurant. 3. After buying more groceries and a cup of bubble tea, my family and I went home. 4. I talked with my mom. 5. I do some workouts for 30 minutes. I sweated more, which is a good sign. 6. I read some journals and replied to them in the forum. I also spent some more time talking with my mom. 7. I finished writing two chapters (one of them is a short introduction to the book) of my new book. So all of my weekly goals are accomplished. ? 8. I wiped the tables (the ones in the dining and living rooms) and swept the floors with a broom (I usually use vacuum). My grandmother is the one who told me how to do those properly. 9. My grandmother, uncle, and I watched the Australian Open, a global tennis annual competition in Melbourne, Australia. My grandmother is a fan of Roger Federer. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 8th day (and a week since I signed into GQ) of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I have confidence to sit and talk with my friends in church. (H) - I actually tried to set my speaking tone and mind my walk, even though I failed at least once. (H) - I did finish writing two chapters of my new book, thus accomplishing one of my weekly goals. (H) - I unintentionally talked like a baby in one instance, even though I tried not to. (L) - I feel like my mind is wandering for a bit while buying groceries. (L) - I walked like a stomping horse. (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? I can remind myself to be more mindful to my speaking tone and my walk. I also should keep up with my confidence and poise in social situations and my pursuit of my interests, like doing calligraphy, drawing, and writing.
