Not much to say, i meditated and feel refresh and more energetic. Now i know how gaming and fap ruined my life for those past years. Better late than never!
I love you, my self

~~ Day 13 ~~
I wake up at: 7AM (my nephew kept me not to everslept)
Yesterday, I slept at: 2-3AM
Today task progress
- Read a book:
- English studying 30m:
-
Clean the room - Study: today i learned .....
Skipped a day, it was above average in summary, let's not talk about the day since i don't remember much, except i got myself a great experience by reading a book with my nephew.
Note: with the cleaning the room is the only thing i achrived i did the TDV thing, got not such a good result though, i had interesting experience today(loss, cure, thrill, mediate)
Other achivements of the day
-
I meditated, gonna make this a routine. I need more peace in my mind, more oxygen and relaxation
-
I ate less, had some veg, and it feels great!
-
I did the right thing, talk straight to the point of what i was not comfortable about and got it solved
Note: i did not drink enough water though, such a loss, no problem, i'll get it done in the near future, i won't forget this
Say something about t'day:

Spoiler
Hard day, got out of my comfort zone to make me comfort! some stupidity included!
In the end, the result is that i decided to learn meditation!, i meditated right after a flare of relapse spilt in my mind, it worked!
Good day, experienced many high and low emotion, this may help me in the depressive state when i stop gaming and fapping!
I can really feel that i love myself and smiled. Can't wait to say this: i love you, myself!
One thing i will try doing tomorrow:
- Mediate twice! (simple, but...not but, it's just that simple, and effective, too)

Thanks guys, I definitely feel like this time is much different from the others (like I'm actually doing homework, lol). My final assignment for the week is to create a LinkedIn profile; I am pretty confident that I can handle that, haha.
Yesterday was an above average day: I set up a schedule for this weeks schoolwork and extra-curricular studying (A+ Certification and music). Tuesdays are like my Mondays just because that's how my uni schedule is. I've been talking to two women from online dating apps despite no longer using the apps... one from OkCupid and one from Tinder. Never had luck with Tinder in the past so this is interesting. The people there seem to be a bit more "adult" than from OkCupid and much less "Indian scammer" than Plenty of Fish. I also tried Hinge but it was a complete wash.
Hinge was appealing because you have to actually quote something from their profile in your opening message so I figured it'd spark conversation but:
- Most of their profiles were boring as fuck
- They just ignored my messages anyway.
One of the women I'm talking to is actually kind of my type. She got a little inquisitive about the fact that I live with my mother at 38 which I can't really say is unexpected. It's temporary and I lived on my own for 10 years prior to 2014 but nobody else has any reason to believe that. We moved on though and she seems to be okay with it for now, lol. The other woman is cute but not really my type. I might go on a date with her just to get some social practice. Is that bad? Lol. I don't think so. It's not like I'm using her for sex or promising I'm going to be her boyfriend or anything.
Anyway, another busy day today. Hope everyone has a good one!
Interesting experience you've got there lol. i've got my gf for 4 years and i think i f'got every sense that my brain use to flirt or maybe even just to talk with another girl other than mine.
It's not that i want to, but how do you talk to girls?...

Yeah that's true, being proud of what you do is important.
Not much to report today... just checking in. It's my last week of class before I'm a college sophomore for the first time ever despite going to college 3 times prior to this. Lol. I'm definitely going to make it this time!
Dude despite going for uni for a very first ( maybe last) time, it literally exhausted me out, i hate it. Hope we both make it through this time!

It passes! I'm sorry I can't be more help than that, just wanted to let you know someone is paying attention to your journal and I'm hoping for the best! I know this was several hours ago so if you did relapse, no worries. Just start again. We all do it. 🙂
Thank you...luckily i did not. However the thought of it just came back drilling into my mind...just a pokemon game like the old time is just what i want....
that's why i'm here, guess i'm getting away from my computer and bring along a book with me....
Here's the update to my journal:
~~ Day 11 ~~
I wake up at: 7AM (overlept to 9AM: it has became a routine due to the long holiday)
Yesterday, I slept at: 3AM(i guess)
Today task progress
- Read a book:
- English studying 30m:
-
Clean the room - Study: today i learned .....
Note: except cleaning the room, i just don't do any of the task recently, i went out meeting people, and at home take a little rest cuz my sinusitis, doing other hobbies and listen to music
Not the productive ones, but the urge to relapse kept me from focus doing one, that's why i did the other thing
Other achivements of the day
-
Delete every fap material, damn this is hurt, those are such a treasure, i;ve been collecting them since 2016 (lmao)
-
Talked to a total stranger, about their stuff, talking to others and helping other the little things that you can is somehow satisfies me
-
Did not use the phone much (at all), i mean, this is such a huge ỉmprovement!
Say something about t'day:
-
Spoiler
Not a productive day i guess, but i;m happy with the things i do, may be that is what matters right now. The urge to relapse may bring back my depression but i think i got the hang of it. So everything is...just fine 🙂
That's it for t'day, i love you, my self (finally i feel good saying this here)
One thing i will try doing tomorrow:
- Drink more water: yes i need it, improve health is both what i want and need!!! start small, 3.2 litters i guess
-

Relapse is everybody's problem in this forum. I think you should get another hobby/goal if you have free time to spend, such as music/instrument, go for a walk,... i'm in pretty same state right now and those gaming and social media are driving me nuts
-
I want to game so bad, damn it

i wrote my plan in TDV (i'm not confortable saying it here)
-
Learned something new!
Say something about t'day:
-
Spoiler
Not much to say for t'day, i just did not read a book but instead i did my hobby in TDV, talk and gain some experience in that field so afterall it was not such a non-productive day to me! realized that the idiom "quit cold turkey" is being used quite a lot, learned some new collocation, such as, "adjourn the meeting", "mitigating circumstances", "inclement weather", can't wait to learn something new from the book!
My urge to gaming came back a little and then got off my head quickly! However, I fapped. I should stop that instantly!
That's it for the day, i love you, my self!
One thing i will try doing tomorrow:
- This is what i has been failed to do for quite sometime: Wakeup before 9AM !!!!!

I love your journaling style - Simple but effective. The task list for each day is definitely a good Idea. I usually forget what i wanted to do and then instead lay in my bed or look at my smartphone. And seeing how many tasks you completed is definitely a good motivation booster.
Thank you, although i did not get the work done, i went visit my relative and stayed there, bring a light book with me and call it a weekend, it's somewhat an effective way, too, just keep your self...not alone. That's my only advise, hope you and i both get better soon!!

Hi there, i'm current a med student, new to this website and the urge to relapse has been rising past 2 days!! wandering the section and seeing someone in the same field here makes me feel i'm not alone!.

A few years ago I decided I wanted to FINALLY learn programming after years of dipping my feet in C++, and I bought a course on Udemy. It's pretty thorough but I only made it about 1/4 of the way through before I got frustrated. Now I have to learn it in college for my cybersecurity degree.
A little bit personal, but...why cyber security then?

I mean WTF i had a sleep for 10 hours. I know my biological routine was fucked up but i don't know it's that bad. glad that i decided to change.
i did not get a 10 miles walk cuz it was late at night and my friend did not want me to go that far home when it's late.
i realize that i like having my room cleaned. My virgo inside me grew up then.
I did not study anything today, maybe i should lower the task down to 30 minute then rise it up later.
Today paragraph is about a girl with mental disorder:
Amanda has the ability to abide the ablution. The abnormal people are able to show their abhorrence to her but she refuse to abnegate or abjure the abhoring. She ablazely think that those people are abject. “You are not welcome aboard” she says.
Anyway, i love you, myself!

I'm really happy with how my day ends.it's been sometime since i last felt accomplishing something, and today that thing is good. i spent time reading the old harry potter book, that series is such a legendary. The paragraph i wrote while getting the vocabulary task done :"
Mr Abbey and Mrs Abbess who were holding abbacy were gotten into abeyance. This aberration is caused by the incident that they abet abducting the kids with alphabets on their abdomen. They did not want to abdicate anyway.
" i mean...lmao.
Great day imo.
Dear "me", i love you

Hey man, welcome. Good for you to make these steps to change yourself for the better. Really like your goals and new habits. But be careful about those numbers. You will probably not learn 2 hours everyday or program for 30 minutes. But that is alright. Even just 5 minutes makes a difference. So keep going 🙂
Saying I love you to myself I have never really tried. Maybe, come time, I will install some gratitude in my life as well.
Man... You are right. I've just realized that i can't get all those number down in the record if i wasted a whole morning for gaming or sleeping cuz staying up late last night.
😄
Consistency is the key and time is the only way to give the key a chance to become reality. I will keep reminding myself this
Really Appreciate your reply 😄

Hello my new me and the community!
Long story short: i'm a med student, not so great in it, probably hate it. I have f*kin unhealthy routines and no real hobby. My life degrades. Depression, anxiety, stress. Degradation overlaps. I know those bad habits are just keep pushing me to the edge of life, crossing the border to 'mislife'.
1st of February 2020. Nice day, determine quit all of those, refresh my self. Search google with 'reddit' at the end. Found this.
I'm happy to find a community to do this. I personally wrote a journal in a journal but it did not last long. i hope that this place would be more interesting for me to keep this stuff on air.
Quit gaming by change habits, easy.
My main goals are:
- 1. Change routine: Sleep early, wakes early, drinks more water, eat less(i'm a bit overweight)
- 2. Read books
- 3. r/Stopgaming
- 4.r/NoFap
- 5. Set up routines( sleep wake hours, etc) (yes, this is listed twice)
- 6. Do a hobby: programming
- 7. Language enrichment.
- 8. Social skills is crucial.
- 9 Keep the progress to achivement active.
- 10. Say "i love you" to myself
Converting to everyday tasks:
1. Sleep at 11:59pm - Wake at 4:30am - Noon rest: 1 hour
2. At least 20 pages or 20 minute reading books everyday
3. Learn Python: 30 minutes
4. English studying (vocabulary: 30m - 10 new words)
5. Clean the room: 10 minutes
6. Study: 2 hours

Damn i coulnt remember which day is today. i just simply against my urge to gaming by doing something else. My weekdays were average, some are productive, some are not. but i did not go to bed early and wake up early as i want. that is bad.
