  1. Welcome to the forums! I have to relate with you about the facts that video games once were more exhilarating than real life because of what they have to offer. I hope you stay strong in dealing with your video game addiction.
  2. Hello, Nel! Welcome to the forum. You are not alone. As for crossword on the newspaper, I think it is alright, as long as you can balance your time. If it goes overboard, I would consider it to be an addiction. If you want some tips or advice, feel free to PM me.
  3. Day 4 (January 16th, 2019) How Are You Feeling? I am not super happy, but also not in a bad mood either. I am bored at some point of the day and bit scared because I dreamed about me watching YouTube videos. What Did You Do? 1. I did some more workouts for about 30 minutes. 2. I cleaned and mopped my bedroom, the bathroom, and the toilet room. 3. I checked the forum for a while. 4. I drew for a while. 5. I also created fonts and their sample pages. 6. I had a talk with a counselor about my addictions to games and YouTube through a phone call. 7. I talked with mom while having lunch. 8. I studied math by book and chemistry on Khan Academy. 9. I finished another poem called "Survivor." (It is right below in the Bonus section.) 10. I worked more on the fonts. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 4th day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I am consistent with my sleep and exercise schedule. (H) - I have the initiative to clean up my bedroom and bathroom. (H) - I completed writing another poem! (H) ? - My voice tend to sound hesitant and not clear when I speak on the phone. (L) - I got reprimanded for not making sure that the dishwasher is full (I was about to turn it on). (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? I could make reminders for myself on what should I do or do not do, especially in a conversation or a social situation. I also should keep up with my goals, now that I accomplished one for the week (writing two poems). Bonus Just like I have mentioned above, I will reveal you my poem (in italics). The title is "Survivor." This is dedicated for my fellow Game Quitters. Enjoy! - This all started with animations that flicker On my old school gameboy. When I was younger, League of Legends had been my joy. Like being in love at first sight, I played with it all night. - I was quickly lifted up from zero, Battling the monsters that kept on attacking me, To being heralded as a pixelated hero, With garlands and gold raining continuously on me. After all, real life was not fun As it was hell under the sun. - But deep inside my soul, I really wished that I quit. I longed to regain my life’s control And never again to be stolen by it. I may not have the courage to do so yesterday, But I am doing it today. - Even after deciding to quit, I still have doubts of my own. Will I ever make it Without playing more games like a drone? Oh yes, I will, As long as I have the will.
  4. Ah, that is interesting.

    That's great! Oddly enough, since I quit gaming and watching YouTube, I do not have any cravings so whatever. But what I am scared of are relapses and reverting back to my old, bad habits.
  6. Great to know. I like swimming, but not that often. I also did some workouts in these few days since I quit gaming and watching YouTube.
  7. Day 3 (January 15th, 2019) How Are You Feeling? I feel much better than a few days ago. With all the tension went down, I feel much more peace. What Did You Do? 1. I do some workouts that are inspired from Instagram in the morning. I do different types of workouts based on the artists or genres of the songs. 2. I write several paragraphs in a new book that I just started. 3. I also planned on a poem dedicated to the Game Quitters. 4. I spent some time reading and replying to posts in the Game Quitters forum. 5. Before lunch, I cooked some rice. 6. I played with my cousin again, but only for a short while. 7. Actually, I studied earlier before I find out that my cousin wants to play. However, after that short while, I was back on studying. 8. I drew an eye and make a random popsicle bookmark. 9. I read more posts here in this forum. Along the Day: I chatted with my mother, my nanny, and Eve. I also talked with Willis, although only for a short time. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - 3rd day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I have the initiative to exercise and workout. (H) - I have the initiative to write. (H) - I cook some rice when I was alone in the house. (H) - I feel like that I spent too much time on my phone or laptop (excluding the time when I write and chat with my family). (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? While I can't avoid the screen, I can limit my time on the screen by coming with activities that are screen-free. I actually plan on cleaning my room tomorrow and probably spend my time drawing and write more in my books and the poem that I had in mind.
  8. Hey @Deku, I am Lea. Pleasure to meet you. After reading your journal, I feel very intrigued and a bit fired up as it is an interesting story with ups and downs. Well done for passing the 90-Days milestone. Keep it up! ?
  9. Hey hsbell, maybe you can do household chores that you normally don't do. I also think learning and doing something new can excite your mind. I have several hobbies in my bucket list, like writing, drawing, swimming, running, singing, and attending a contest you would like to join (the last one is really not a hobby). If you do need some help or tips, feel free to PM me.
  10. @JPAO Hi, I'm Lea. I am also a university student like you. ?
  11. @Land Hey, Land. I'm Lea. As my mother once said to me, you will succeed in quitting games as long as you have the willpower for it. Since I was a child, I habitually talk to myself, especially about my fantasies. I really wanted to stop it, but I just couldn't until my grandmother reprimanded me of that behavior when I was in my younger teens. It's hard for me at first, but years later, I no longer have the habit of talking to myself and haven't relapsed on it since then. Trust me, you can apply my example to eradicate your game addiction. ?
  12. @ketias Hello, I'm Lea. I have a few suggestions for you to get started. Here are some of my suggestions: 1. Exercise (I know it is sort of commonplace, but this is really helpful.) 2. Learning a new free course online. 3. Learning a new language in apps like Duolingo. 4. Writing a journal. 5. Try something you never thought you will do (e.g. carpentry or surfing).
  13. @Samon After reading "why you want to quit" and some of your entries in your journal, I happen to have similar goals with you. I am currently on my third day without games and YouTube (and other watching apps). And I am happy how you improved over the 62 days without games.
  14. @fawn_xoxo Thanks for the support! ? @Gaming Zombie Hahaha, thanks for the suggestions. I like swimming, but apparently there are no nearby swimming pools that I can practice swimming on. However, I did plan to do some workouts at the morning.

    Hey, gui788! I'm Lea, and I'm new here. I am happy that you are doing strong in accomplishing your goals. Keep it up! If you need some tips or advices, feel free to PM me.
  16. Hello, Aggras! I'm Lea. Pleasure to meet you. I wonder about one thing: What do you study in school?
  17. @Cam Adair I have another idea for a diary template. Here is one that I come up with: Day # (Month# Date#, Year#) How Are You Feeling? (Say how you are feeling about the day) What Did You Do? 1. … 2. … 3. … Highs (H) and Lows (L) - … - … - … What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? (Say what can you do better tomorrow. In other words, what would you like to improve on.)
  18. Day 2 (January 14th, 2019) How Are You Feeling? I am still feeling sad, but I feel definitely better than yesterday because of my cousin's cheeky antics and the jokes in my family chat. What Did You Do? 1. I jogged for a while nearby my home. 2. My uncle, aunt, cousin, and I went to a shopping mall. 3. I studied mathematics, finishing up the chapter about integration calculus. 4. I spent some time reading and replying to posts in the Game Quitters forum. 5. I watched my uncle and my cousin playing on the trampoline. 6. I read more posts from the forum. 7. I finished up my poem ("Shadows"). Along the Day: I talked with my mom, my dad, my nanny, Willis, and Eve via Whatsapp. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - I have the initiative to exercise. (H) - Another day of not playing games or watching YouTube. (H) - I have the initiative to volunteer in my college's orientation week. (H) - I have the initiative to spend time with my cousin. (H) - I finished my poem. (H) - When my uncle asked me if I want to go to the shopping mall, I said yes, but my tone wasn't quite right. (L) - I was rather careless when I walk. (L) - I forgot to wind the tap after unwinding in the bathroom, which explained why the hose leaks. (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? I should be more mindful of my tone when I speak and of my awareness when I walk in the public. I also should keep up with my will to exercise, spend time with family, write poems and stories, and seek volunteer and (possibly) job opportunities.
  19. @Gaming Zombie Hello, I'm Lea. Pleasure to meet you. You are not alone here. I have to empathize you for problematic communication skills, as I have Asperger's syndrome since I was young. It's really hard for me to open up and make friends, even if the people (notably my classmates in my previous school) around me are mostly wonderful and awesome. I hope that you succeed this time, and I'm sure that they are wonderful and encouraging people in this community.
  20. @Mettermrck Hello Bob! I'm new here. My name is Lea. I have looked at snippets of your journey. After I read the last entry of yours, I feel bad about how you tried to stick with your commitment to not act out your addictions, especially gaming, but failed in the end. I don't know what to say, but if you need any tips or advice, you can PM me. I know I am young, but I'll try my best to help you get over them.
  21. Day 1 (January 13th, 2019) How Are You Feeling? Since the day that I quit, I still feel sad. I also feel lonely, empty, and bored. However, I feel a bit better when I played with my uncle and my cousin. What Did You Do? 1. I played Uno Stacko with my uncle and my cousin. 2. I read parts of a scientific book. 3. I studied the mathematics that will be in my second semester course. 4. I finished my drawing of an elf princess. 5. I talk with mom, my childhood nanny, and my close friend via Whatsapp and Instagram. 6. I signed up for the Game Quitters. Highs (H) and Lows (L) - I don't watch any YouTube videos or play any games. (H) - I finished my elf princess drawing. (H) - I am afraid to talk with my aunt and uncle. (L) What Can You Do Better Tomorrow? I can gather my courage by actually facing my fears. If I still feel afraid, I can talk to mom, dad, Willis (my older brother), Eve (my older sister), and my childhood nanny to dissuade my fears.
