[Relationship with my gamer-friends]

Hi everybody. So the idea is that I have this company of friends who I've been gaming with throughout my whole childhood. They mostly play League of Legends now and are calling me to play almost daily.

The problem is, my sister is also there, and she gets upset when I reject the invitation and gets angry with me for ignoring them and not spending time with them.

It's been a reoccurring problem for a couple of years now and I think I cannot get my negative idea of gaming to her, that I feel regret about the amount of time in game. She suggests that it's my poor time-management to blame and thinks that if I rearranged my schedule, I wouldn't be so busy and could play. In addition, it is still tempting to actually go and play. A couple of games this evening, a couple - some other time..

Maybe some of you have a similar situation? Companies of friends gathering to play and wanting to know why you aren't coming along?

Hi, I, personally, wouldn`t dare to play in moderation cause I know it will go downhill for sure. Going cold turkey is something every1 suggests. I guess it is like a tough break up where you don`t want to stay friends with your ex as it would hurt your feelings and stir crap up. In that situation I wouldn`t be able to stay friends with whom I loved dearly.
Here is the video from our lord and saviour ? Cam, perhaps, it will lead you to an answer
Stay strong bro, I am also interested in ur experience

Hello everyone!

I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember. TF2, L4D, CSGO bring me sweet memories when my friends and I were having fun together, I have even dated some girl online. Of course, all of that was fickle so I can`t even play those games anymore because I know I would never have the same fun I used to. That puts me off returning to those games. Rancours? I don`t know, maybe

The thing that made me do a first step is being fed up with toxicity and my dissatisfaction with gaming routine. I have always considered myself getting the short end of the stick despite investing so much time into gaming. I just couldn`t be the best there. It really hit home. Recently, I have tried to make drastic changes in my life but always relapsed. The breaking point was dev of game (I have grinded 800h in) announcing that the game would be cancelled soon (it all turned out to be as a christmas joke, it was not the dev, but some other dude). Then I realised how fragile and how pointless that I am doing. I was offended by it deeply but it was like a wake up call. Yet I still relapsed, but bounced back. I understand now what I am lacking. Support and an example of others.

So here I am 22, Russia, and I am fond of so many things guys, this is crazy:D front-end programming, game dev, harmonica, guitar, parkour, learning new languages. But most importantly, I am fond of people being nearby. Maybe, the main reason why I ve been playing hardcore is that I just couldn`t make friends and I hated being alone.

A lot of going to change after New Year. But here are my goals for now

1. Find a hobby and replace my idle existence with it. Write about it here

2. Pass 90 day detox and comment about it here

3. Get a job and earn good money

I ll start my challenge tomorrow because today was the day i relapsed once again.
