@dxzmpk_CN Congrats, 董雄。You've taken your first step toward freedom. It will be a difficult journey, but quitting gaming is certainly possible with determination and a little help from your friends (us fellow forum members ?)
You're mindset really resonates with me. I have a very troubling addiction to League of Legends myself and have tried for a long time to quit playing. Gaming completely wrecked my GPA (the U.S. education metric) and my social life while I was in college. But I made it through, I have a decent job, and now I'm happy to tell you I haven't played any video games (or watched any gaming content) in 12 days.
I can tell you now though. You are smarter and stronger than you think! You had the wits and the power to know that it was time to stop gaming and decided to quit. Don't discount this first step. Use this step and every single one after as a reminder and a source of strength.
P.S. I graduated with a degree in CS and work as web developer now. If you need any help with school, or anything for that matter, feel free to send me a DM.
@kwshake Thanks for your reply, kwshake. Your story and words have really brought me a lot of confidence towards life. I really appreciate that. I think the thing that brothers me most is that the disire to restart gaming is just like a time bomb. I don't feel I have a peaceful mind at any time. Thanks for saying that I have the wits and the power, and I will try my best to overcome the bad moods. By the way, sorry for my poor English.

Today is my first day to quit the game( I joined the fornum yeasterday). In the morning, everything just went so good, I didn't feel any desire to play the game. And in the afternoon, things became a little different. I went to the library to study by myself, and in the past, I always played some games after studying for one or two hours. But today, I had decided not to play any game. When I studyed in the library, every time I thought about quiting the game, I feel some anxiety about that, and I just cant help shaking my legs and waving my minds to bear the anxiety. It has lasted till now. By the way, It's 21:50 in China now. But luckily, although I feel bad about that and cant keep a peaceful mind, I just didn't give in and restart the game. :) That's what I feel good about myself.
Besides, after seeing one of your posts, I begin to think that maybe I should cultivate my new hobbies. I still remember I have a lot of things that I wanted to learn, but then I spent most of my time on games instead of learning these meaningful and useful skills. I think it's my time to pick them up again and fill my life --- especially for my time when I have finished my studying work and don't know to do. And the hobbies can help me not to think about the games, which will definately make me feel better.

I'm a game addicater living in China, and I've been addicted in a mobile moba game like Lengends of League for more than two years. Now I'm in grade 3 of my four-year bachelor course, I'm very afraid that I will not be able to survive in the society. For so long, I've been regarding games as a way of escaping from my failure in real life and get the feeling of beating others. But in real life, I'm never that smart and strong as in the fake game world, and I want to save myself by starting to quit game. And I will try my best to do that. So I joined the forum after watching the video Video of Game Quitter , now I'd like to be with you guys all and sicerely hope that you can help me if I feel it so hard. From now on, I gonna post a journal every two days(because I am studying CS everyday and may not get so much stuffs to record here, another reason is that I'm a little bit lazy :) ). That's all, thanks for watching.
Sincerely,董雄。

It's so hard and the cycle nearly goes again

Today is really a tough day for me. I spent the whole afternoon at home waching videos and sleeping. At night, I feel a strong disire to restart my game, and unlike the determination I had the other days(I quitted games for around 6 days), I just think it's no big deal to restart gaming. But my another thoughts just notice me that I am making excuses for myself, and if I restart the game, I will addict to it again and again, just like before. So I come to the forum and wandering through some of your posts, and write the journal here. Fortunately, I didn't play any video games today.
My lesson from this afternoon is, I shoule really never stay at home alone for so long time. Also, I should pick up some other hobbies so that I can find something else to do except for watching videos at home. I kinda believe that things like this afternoon will continue to happen from time to time. But, I promise I will hold on to my principle.
