Hello Community, I'm glad to join you. I'm Miles from the US. I've decided to quit after reflecting on Cam's email messages and videos and having recent relapse into games to avoid some difficult emotion-laden work. To avoiding writing out and thinking through possible solutions to my difficult problem, I felt compelled to find some iPhone games a little over a week ago to numb myself to negative feelings. It reminded me of being back in college when I turned to games instead of writing papers until very close to the due date.
My goal is to be aware of why I choose gaming (and similar activities, like reading online news, YT, FB videos, or letting someone else distract me with solving their urgent problems instead of my own) to avoid work and relationships that would bring me more enjoyment and fulfillment. I have some important work I could be doing and family to take care of right now. I want to see what's possible when I live my life more intentionally by taking daily action on my real-world priorities.
