As you might have guessed... I'm pretty new here. It was only about 5 hours ago that I've started thinking about quitting video games. It's already getting difficult. I took one last look at my steam account, to see how far I've gotten. To see the nearly constant "54.9 hours in the last 2 weeks" displayed. I'll be 22 years old in a few months, and I've been playing video games ever since I was 6. Over time it's become a part of my life. The games I've played and the stories they've told, and the experiences I've had playing them are a big part of who I am today. I'm quitting because quite frankly, I'm spiraling downhill. I just finished Tech school to be an HVAC technician and I have no job. Why? Getting a job just isn't as exciting. I've got so much that I want to do. I'd like to learn several languages. I'd like to learn computer programming. I'd like start my own jewelry business. Back in High School I started making my own jewelry out of wire, pocket change, and just about anything else metal I could find. Each piece I would try to make more and more intricate. Make it look more professional and less like some junk you'd find in a garage. I really enjoyed it. I really wanted to make something out of it, and I do still. But it's not fun anymore. Nothing, aside from video games catch my attention anymore. And I think that is why I have such a hard time accomplishing the things that I want to do in life is because at the moment doing those things gives me no sense of reward. Hopefully this detox will change that. Holy shit this is going to be a long 90 days O_O
